2022 Program
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company approved a restructuring program (the “2022 Program”), which is expected to improve business performance, increase collaboration, enhance team member agility, enable faster decision-making and reduce redundancies. In conjunction with the 2022 Program, the Company is bringing together all its corporate team members from the Chicago, Downers Grove and Dakota Dunes area corporate locations to its world headquarters in Springdale, Arkansas, through a phased relocation which commenced in early calendar year 2023. We anticipate the 2022 Program and associated expenses will be substantially complete in our fiscal 2025. The following table reflects the total pretax anticipated expenses associated with the 2022 Program (in millions):

Restructuring costs include severance expenses, and related charges include costs directly associated with the 2022 Program such as relocation, contract and lease terminations, professional fees and accelerated depreciation resulting from the closure of facilities. We anticipate that $48 million and $223 million of the total pretax anticipated expense will be recorded in Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative, respectively, in our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. Included in the table above are $241 million of charges that have resulted or will result in cash outflows and $30 million in non-cash charges.

As the Company continues to evaluate its business strategies and long-term growth targets, additional restructuring activities may occur.
Plant Closures
In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, in order to further optimize our network to reach full capacity in our facilities, management approved and communicated the planned closure of two of the Company's Chicken facilities in Glen Allen, Virginia and Van Buren, Arkansas. As a result, we recorded $92 million in closure charges, primarily related to grower contract terminations, accelerated depreciation, and severance, retention and related costs. The facilities are expected to cease operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The charges are reflected in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income in Cost of Sales.
