Item 2.05 COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES

On June 30, 2020, Tenneco Inc. (the "Company") approved a restructuring plan in connection with one of its European bearings plants whereby the Company will propose to reduce headcount, as negotiated with the works councils and unions. The Company anticipates implementing headcount reductions this year and in 2021. The Company expects these actions to be substantially completed by early 2022.

Restructuring and related charges are expected to be incurred in 2020 and 2021, in an aggregate amount of approximately $35 million. The charges are expected to be comprised of an estimated $9.5 million for post-employment benefits, including an early retirement program, $21 million of one-time termination benefits and $1.9 million for customer validation, equipment transfer and related expenditures. Additional cash expenditures of $2.5 million are expected to be spent for equipment. The project does not include any non-cash asset write-downs.
