05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. On June 24, 2024, AGCO Corporation (the "Company") announced a restructuring program in response to increased weakening demand in the agriculture industry (the "Program"). The initial phase of the Program is focused on further reducing structural costs, streamlining the Company's workforce and enhancing global efficiencies related to changing the Company's operating model for certain corporate and back-office functions and better leveraging technology and global centers of excellence.

The initial phase of the Program is expected to result in a net reduction of the Company's salaried workforce by up to approximately 6% as compared to its salaried workforce as of December 31, 2023.

The Company also may incur ot
