05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities On November 26, 2025, the Board of Directors of Newell Brands Inc. (the "Company") approved a global productivity plan (the "Plan") designed to strengthen the company's market position, enhance efficiency and deliver greater value to consumers while advancing the Company's turnaround strategy. The Company plans to reduce its professional and clerical headcount by approximately 10% globally (approximately 900 employees) and to close approximately twenty Company-operated retail locations in connection with the Plan. Actions under the Plan will begin in the fourth quarter of 2025 and are expected to be substantially implemented by the end of 2026, with U.S.-based professional and clerical separations expected to be largely concluded by the end of 2025. Decisions regarding the elimination of positions as well as the timing of separations are subject to local law and consultation requirements in certain countries, as well as the Company's business needs. Once the changes under the Plan are fully executed, the Company expects to realize annualized pre-tax cost savings in the range of approximately $110 million to $130 million. The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $75 million to $90 million in restructuring and restructuring-related charges in connection with the Plan, substantially all of which are expected to be incurred by the end of fiscal 2026. These estimated charges consist primarily of $63million to $78 million in charges related to cash severance payments and other termination benefits, approximately $8 million in charges related to employee transition costs, and approximately $4 million of other charges, including those associated with legal and store closure costs. Of the aggregate amount of charges that the Company estimates it will incur in connection with the Plan, the Company expects that substantially all of the approximately $75 million to $90 million will be in cash expen
