Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On June 28, 2005, Libbey Inc. issued a press release announcing plans to reduce its North American salaried workforce by approximately seven percent by June 30, 2005 in order to achieve its strategic goal of reducing enterprise costs. This entails Libbey engaging in a process to determine the feasibility of combining or eliminating salaried positions. The charges that will be required for this salaried reduction program are expected to be approximately $5.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, during the second quarter of 2005. Of the $5.5 million estimated charge, $3.4 million is for employee termination costs. These employee termination costs will be cash payments, with the majority of payments to be paid throughout the remainder of 2005. The remaining charge of $2.1 million is for pension and postretirement welfare expenses, which are non-cash charges.
