INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On January 20, 2010, Carlisle Companies Incorporated (the “Company”) announced its decision to end the sale process for the power transmission belt business conducted by the wholly-owned subsidiary Carlisle Power Transmission Products and combine the belt business with the tire and wheel business conducted by the wholly-owned subsidiary Carlisle Tire & Wheel Company. The Company announced plans to dispose of the power transmission belt business on April 16, 2008. Beginning in the second quarter of 2008 and through the third quarter of 2009, the belt business had been classified as a “discontinued operation”. In the fourth quarter of 2009 the belt business will be reported as a continuing operation within the tire and wheel business.
In connection with its determination to combine the power transmission belt and tire and wheel businesses, the Company has estimated that the following pre-tax non-cash charges will be incurred in the fourth quarter 2009: (i) $3.2 million reduction in the value of certain long-lived assets representing the difference between their current carrying value and their carrying value before classification as held for sale, adjusted for depreciation expense that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held and used, and (ii) $3.2 million of restructuring charges. The Company will also record pre-tax cash charges of $0.3 million for severance and other items that occurred in the fourth quarter 2009.
The Company’s integration plans could result in additional asset impairments, contract termination costs, severance and other related charges depending upon the final outcome of the integration process. Any such charges are expected to be reported in 2010.
On January 20, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing its decision to combine the belt and tire and wheel businesses. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
