05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities . On November 4, 2025, Hormel Foods Corporation (the "Company") announced a corporate restructuring plan designed to reduce administrative expenses, improve efficiencies, and align its workforce to the Company's future needs, while enabling continued investment in the Company's growth. The restructuring includes a voluntary early retirement program for certain groups of employees, the closing of certain open roles, involuntary role reductions, and making select changes to benefit programs. As part of the plan, the Company expects to eliminate approximately 250 corporate and sales roles, with most of the related employee departures to occur by December 31, 2025. In connection with this restructuring, the Company expects to incur restructuring charges in the range of $20million to $25 million. Substantially all the charges are expected to be related to one-time pension benefits, cash severance payments, stock compensation expenses, and employee benefit costs. Most of the charges are expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. Of the estimated aggregate amount of charges, the Company expects that approximately $8 million to $10 million will be in future cash expenditures to be made over the next 12 months. The estimates of the charges and expenditures that the Company expects to incur, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions, and actual amounts may differ materially from estimates. In addition, the Company may incur other charges or cash expenditures due to the expansion of the program or because of events not yet contemplated in connection with the corporate restructuring.
