SECTION 8 — OTHER EVENTS
Item 2.05.   Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
     On June 23, 2011, Cadiz Electronica, S.A.U., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Visteon Corporation, informed employees at its Cadiz electronics assembly plant in El Puerto de Santa Maria, Spain of its intention to permanently cease production at the plant and close the facility. In the absence of new business programs to replace the current production at the Cadiz plant, and following an extensive review of the long-term prospects of the facility, Visteon concluded there is not a viable business case to continue operating the plant. The anticipated closure is expected to result in the separation of approximately 400 employees and be completed by June 30, 2012.
     Visteon intends to immediately commence discussions with the local unions, works committee and appropriate public authorities regarding specific closure arrangements. The Company anticipates recording approximately $24 million during the three-months ending June 30, 2011, representing the minimum amount of employee separation costs pursuant to statutory regulations, all of which are expected to be cash separation payments. Further, the Company anticipates incurring additional costs in connection with the closure that are likely to be material, however, an estimate of the amount or range of amounts of these costs cannot be determined at this time because they are subject to the outcome of substantive negotiations with the aforementioned parties and other factors.
