FLOWERS FOODS, INC. (NYSE:FLO) Files An 8-K Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal ActivitiesItem 2.05.
On July17, 2017, Flowers Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) commenced a voluntary employee separation incentive plan (the “VSIP”) as part of its effort to restructure, streamline operations and better position the Company for profitable growth. The VSIP is available to certain salaried employees who meet the VSIP’s age, length-of-service and business function criteria. Employees who elect to participate in the VSIP will receive enhanced separation benefits. The VSIP is expected to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2017.
The Company currently does not know which employees will elect to participate in the VSIP. Accordingly, the Company is unable to estimate the costs of the VSIP, which will consist primarily of employee severance and benefits-related costs. The Company will provide an estimate of the amount or range of costs and benefits when a good faith determination can be made, which is expected to be in the third quarter of 2017.
A copy of the press release announcing the VSIP is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
