Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
     On February 10, 2009, Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. issued the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 announcing preliminary operating results, cost reduction initiatives and expected impairment charges for the three months and fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The information in Exhibit 99.1 is being provided pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K.
Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
     On February 10, 2009, Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. (the “Company”) announced a restructuring plan that includes a 15% reduction in salaried workforce and the closure of five of the Company’s smaller manufacturing warehousing and assembly facilities. The facilities to be closed include the Company’s assembly and sequencing facility in Kent, Washington; seat sequencing and assembly facility in Statesville, North Carolina; manufacturing facility in Lake Oswego, Oregon; inventory and product warehouse in Concord, North Carolina; and seat assembly and distribution facility in Seneffs, Belgium. The restructuring is being implemented to control the Company’s operating costs in light of the current condition of the global economy, and in particular the commercial vehicle markets. The Company expects to substantially complete the restructuring by April 2009.
     The Company estimates it will record charges incurred in connection with the restructuring of approximately $2.5 million, consisting of approximately $1.5 million of severance costs and $1.0 million of facility closure costs. The Company estimates that all of the restructuring charges will be incurred as future cash expenditures, of which approximately $2.2 million is expected to be incurred in 2009 and approximately $0.3 million is expected to be incurred in 2010.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
