Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On December 6, 2013, NII Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) initiated a restructuring plan designed to better align the Company’s costs and organizational structure with its growth strategy. The restructuring plan includes the reorganization of the roles and responsibilities among the Company's headquarters and market teams, resulting in staff reductions across the organization designed to reduce costs while maintaining the support necessary to meet customers' needs. The Company anticipates that restructuring activities contemplated by this plan will be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2014.
In connection with implementing the restructuring plan, the Company anticipates that it will incur pre-tax charges of approximately $25 million to $35 million, including $8.6 million in charges related to restructuring activities at the Company’s Mexico operating subsidiary that occurred and were accounted for in the third quarter of 2013 and approximately $17 million to $27 million in future cash expenditures. Substantially all of the charges associated with the restructuring plan relate to employee severance and other termination benefits that are expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2013.
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements regarding expectations, including forecasts regarding operating results, performance assumptions and estimates relating to restructuring costs and capital requirements, as well as other statements that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, these forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words or phrases “would be,” “will allow,” “expects to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions. While the Company provides forward-looking statements to assist in the understanding of its anticipated future financial performance, the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release any updates to forward-looking statements to reflect events after the date of this report, including unforeseen events. The Company has included risk factors and uncertainties that might cause differences between anticipated and actual future results in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, as well as in other reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
