Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On November 4, 2015, Plexus Corp. (“Plexus” or the “Company”) announced plans to close its manufacturing facility in Fremont, California (“Fremont”) as a result of the Company’s optimization of its capacity to meet customer demand due to changing end-market dynamics. This action was approved by Company management on November 3, 2015. Plexus expects to incur approximately $3.0 to $5.0 million of restructuring charges as a result of this action by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2016, comprised of employee, transition and other facility-related costs. The restructuring charges remain subject to additional analysis.

The closure of the Fremont facility will affect approximately 200 employees. It is anticipated that existing customer programs at the Fremont facility will be transferred to other Plexus facilities. Plexus currently expects that the consolidation efforts related to this action will be complete by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2016.
