Restructuring Initiatives

During the fiscal year ended

June 30, 2018,

we incurred restructuring expenses from

2018

initiatives related to

three

restructuring programs that are intended to improve profitability, streamline production and enhance capacity to support future growth: (

) the realignment of management functions at the Food Service Equipment Group level; (

) headcount reduction and plant realignment with regard to the standard products businesses within Food Service Equipment; and (

) the exit of an unprofitable Engraving business in Brazil.

The Company anticipates further restructuring charges in

2020

based upon market conditions and cost reduction activities to improve our competitive advantage.
