Item 2.05     Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On November 16, 2015, the Board of Directors of ICU Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) authorized the Company to close its Vrable, Slovakia manufacturing facility for greater efficiency in utilization of its Ensenada, Mexico facility. The Slovakia facility closure will impact approximately 265 employees. The expected completion date for the closure will be during the third quarter of 2016.
The Company estimates that the Slovakia facility closure will result in a pre-tax restructuring charge to earnings of approximately $3.4 million, of which approximately $1.3 million is for costs for severance, retention, and other employee related assistance and approximately $2.1 million in other exit costs associated with the closure of the facility. These pre-tax charges are expected to be recorded primarily during the fourth quarter of 2015. Net cash outlays related to these actions are expected to be approximately $3.3 million to $5.7 million, substantially all of which is expected to be paid during fiscal 2016.
