Item 2.05	Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On April 8, 2020, Allegion plc (the “Company”) committed to certain strategic restructuring initiatives to be implemented across several businesses and functions outside of the United States (“U.S.”). These initiatives are intended to optimize and simplify the Company’s non-U.S. operations and cost structure. The majority of these restructuring initiatives are expected to be completed during fiscal year 2020, with all initiatives expected to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2021.

As a result of these initiatives, the Company currently expects to record restructuring charges of approximately $30 million to $35 million in total, of which $20 to $25 million are expected to be incurred during fiscal year 2020 with the remainder expected to be incurred during fiscal year 2021. The expected charges are primarily comprised of approximately $20 to $22 million in employee termination benefits, $4 to $6 million in contract termination costs, and $6 to $8 million in other costs. Future cash expenditures related to these charges are anticipated to be approximately $25 to $30 million.
