Form 8-K for GRIFFON CORP


3-Jun-2009

Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, Regulation FD Disclosure, Financi


Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On June 2, 2009, the Board of Directors of Griffon Corporation (the "Company") approved management's restructuring plan for the Garage Doors segment of its business (the "2009 Plan") intended to reduce cost and increase operating efficiency from consolidation of facilities. The 2009 Plan, scheduled to begin during June 2009 with the majority of the transition expected to be completed by January 2011, includes production realignments and facility closures.

In connection with the 2009 Plan, the Company expects to incur pre-tax exit and restructuring costs, substantially all of which will be cash charges, of approximately $12 million, including approximately $2 million for one-time termination benefits and other personnel-related costs, approximately $1 million for excess facilities and related costs, and approximately $9 million in other exit costs primarily in connection with production realignment. These amounts are preliminary estimates and the actual amounts of such payments may vary materially as the closure and relocation plans are finalized and implemented.



Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 3, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing the 2009 Plan. A copy of the Company's press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.



Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
