06. Material Impairments
Item 2.06. Material Impairments . On August 19, 2024, we concluded that a material charge is required related to the write-down of certain product-specific manufacturing and vendor tooling assets intended to be utilized for previously planned all-electric three-row SUVs that we no longer intend to produce. This was based upon our decision to instead leverage hybrid technologies for our next three-row SUVs. The expected charge is estimated to be about $400 million and will be reflected in our financial statements for the third quarter of 2024. We expect the charge to be treated as a special item. The charge will not result in any cash expenditures.
01. Regulation FD Disclosure
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure . As a result of the above decision not to produce the previously planned all-electric three-row SUVs, we may incur additional expenses and cash expenditures of up to about $1.5 billion and will reflect those in the quarter they are incurred as a special item. Our news release dated August 21, 2024 is furnished as Exhibit 99 to this Report and is incorporated by reference herein.
