NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT On November 1, 2012, the Company announced a plan to optimize certain capacity in Europe. Due to increased production efficiencies and to better position the Company for future growth in Europe, AptarGroup will transfer and consolidate production capacity involving twelve facilities. Two of the related facilities are expected to close and this would impact approximately 170 employees. The locations involved in the operations optimization plan are facilities that are serving the beauty, personal care, food, beverage, and consumer health care markets. The total costs associated with the plan are estimated to be approximately €14 million (approximately $18 million using current exchange rates) of which approximately €4 million (approximately $5 million using current exchange rates) relates to non-cash expenses. Annual savings are estimated to be approximately €9 million (approximately $12 million using current exchange rates) beginning in late 2013.
