Item
2.02 Results of Operations and Financial
Condition.*
On July
28, 2010, Callaway Golf Company (the “Company”) issued a press release captioned
“Callaway Golf Company Announces Second Quarter and First Half 2010
Results.” A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit
99.1 and incorporated herein by this reference.
Item
2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities.
The Company previously announced that
it had adopted a global operations strategy targeted at improving the Company’s
gross margins (the “Global Operations Strategy”). On July 27, 2010,
the Company announced the next phase of its Global Operations
Strategy. More specifically, the Company announced that it will be
restructuring its global manufacturing and distribution operations over the next
18 months to add speed and flexibility to customer service demands, optimize
efficiencies and facilitate long-term gross margin improvements (the “M&D
Restructuring”). This initiative will include the reorganization of
the Company’s manufacturing and distribution centers located in Carlsbad,
California and Toronto, Canada, the creation of third party logistics sites in
Dallas, Texas and Toronto, Canada, as well as the establishment of a new
production facility in Monterrey, Mexico. A copy of the July 27, 2010 press
release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by this
reference.
Set forth below are the current
estimated charges that are expected to be incurred over the next 18 months in
connection with the M&D Restructuring (in
thousands):

facility in Monterrey, Mexico, start-up costs associated with the establishment
of third party logistics sites, travel expenses, and costs associated with the
transfer of inventory and equipment.
The above
enumerated charges reflect the Company’s best estimate as of the filing of this
report based upon the Company’s current plans. Any change in the
Company’s plans during implementation, or any delays, difficulties, or increased
costs associated with the implementation of these initiatives, could affect the
