ITEM 2.05 COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES

On January 13, 2021, Navistar International Corporation (the "Company") approved a plan to sell its facility in Melrose Park, IL (the "Melrose Park Facility") and cease all operations at the Melrose Park Facility by November 2021. Due to a reduction in the Company's overall engine manufacturing, the lack of engine manufacturing at the Melrose Park Facility, and the trucking industry's increasing interest in alternative fuel drivetrains, a property the size of the Melrose Park Facility is not necessary for the remaining engine testing and administrative functions currently performed. In connection with the cessation of operations at the Melrose Park Facility, the Company expects that half of its current workforce of approximately 500 employees at the Melrose Park Facility will be transferred to the Company's other facilities.

As a result of the Company's disposition of, and exit from, the Melrose Park Facility, the Company expects to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $85 million, of which, $75 million are expected to be incurred in fiscal year 2021, with the remainder being incurred in fiscal year 2022. The total charges consist of $22 million for employee separation and other pension and post retirement contractual termination benefits, and approximately $31 million for other-related charges. In addition, the Company anticipates approximately $32 million in charges for accelerated depreciation and impairment impacts related to the sale and the cessation of the operations at the Melrose Park Facility. Approximately $40 million of these charges will result in additional future cash outlays.
