Item 2.05	Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On July 11, 2019, after receiving approval of the Board of Directors of Varex Imaging Corporation (the “Company”), management committed to closing the Company’s Santa Clara facility.  The closure of the Company's Santa Clara facility is being taken in connection with the ongoing integration of the imaging business acquired from PerkinElmer, Inc. in May 2017 and we expect operations at the Santa Clara facility to cease by the end of December 2020. Due to the closure of the Santa Clara facility, the Company anticipates the elimination of approximately 110 positions at the Santa Clara facility. The Company anticipates that all activities related to the closure of the Santa Clara facility will be completed by the end of March 2021.

The total amount of restructuring charges is expected to be in the range of $20 to $24 million, including approximately $6 million of accelerated depreciation, $6 to $7 million for the impairment of assets, $5 to $7 million for employee and severance related costs and $3 to $4 million for the remaining lease obligations.  The Company expects that approximately $8 to $11 million of these restructuring charges will result in future cash expenditures. The Company expects that the closure of the Santa Clara facility will deliver approximately $12 to $16 million in annual cost savings.

Item 2.06	Material Impairments

The information set forth above in Item 2.05 is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.06.
