On October 8, 2013, Wolverine World Wide, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the Company’s third quarter of 2013, attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K (the “8-K”), which is here incorporated by reference.  This 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 2.05                                           Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On October 4, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to restructure its Dominican Republic operations in a manner intended to lower the Company’s cost of sourced goods, as described below (the “Restructuring Plan”).  The Company intends to close a manufacturing facility in the Dominican Republic and is evaluating strategic alternatives with respect to a second manufacturing facility in the Dominican Republic.

The Company has provided preliminary estimated ranges for expected costs and benefits related to the Restructuring Plan and will provide further disclosure as appropriate.

The Company estimates the total costs for the Restructuring Plan will range from $7.0 million to $10.4 million. Approximately $5.1 million to $7.1 million of this estimate represents non-cash charges. The Company expects to complete the Restructuring Plan in fiscal 2014 with the majority of costs incurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

The expected range of pretax charges by major category in connection with the Restructuring Plan are summarized in the following table

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding timing of completion of the Restructuring Plan and the costs associated with implementing the Restructuring Plan. In addition, words such as “estimates,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “predicts,” “projects,” “is likely,” “expects,” “intends,” “should,” “will,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions (“Risk Factors”) that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Risk Factors include, among others: the possibility that the Company is unable to implement the Restructuring Plan or to implement the Restructuring Plan in accordance with current estimates regarding timing and costs; the possibility that the Company is unable to realize some or all of the estimated continuing product cost savings as a result of the Restructuring Plan; changes in laws, regulations or accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; and other risks discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K, which filings are available from the SEC. Other Risk Factors exist, and new Risk Factors emerge from time to time that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, as a prediction of actual results. The Company undertakes no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements.
