Item 2.05     Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On January 26, 2009, Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. (the “Company”) committed to the principal features of a plan to restructure some of its existing operations. The plan includes consolidation of production facilities and employment reductions in Germany. Actions under the plan commenced in January 2009 in response to sustained weak market conditions. The Company expects to substantially complete the plan by June 30, 2009, the end of the Company’s current fiscal year (“Fiscal 2009”).

The costs associated with the plan will be charged to the Company’s results of operations during the third quarter of Fiscal 2009 and consist primarily of employee personnel costs. The Company expects to incur costs of approximately $3.0 million, anticipated to be paid in cash during the remainder of Fiscal 2009 and through the second quarter of Fiscal 2010.

This action, combined with other initiatives implemented during the third quarter of Fiscal 2009, in Europe, the U.S. and Japan will eliminate 68 full-time positions and will reduce the Company’s worldwide cost base and strengthen its competitive position as a leading global supplier of process automation equipment.  In addition, the Company has eliminated merit increases for approximately 13% of the remaining workforce, temporarily suspended the Company’s matching contribution to the U.S. 401 (k) plan and reduced U.S. based healthcare costs; and 49 senior managers have agreed to reduce their salaries. The Company estimates that annual savings from all of the above initiatives will be approximately $5.8 million.

Additionally, the Company has instituted cost reduction initiatives related to reduction in overtime, implementation of short-time work weeks, reduction of external service providers and extension of holiday shut down, all of which are expected to provide additional annual savings of approximately $4.1 million.

Previously, in October 2008, the Company announced a restructuring plan aimed at achieving operational efficiencies in Germany with a cost of approximately $681,000 and anticipated annual savings from that action and other actions in Europe and the U.S. of approximately $2.1 million.

As a result of Fiscal 2009 restructurings and other actions, the Company’s full-time employment headcount will be reduced from 655 at June 30, 2008 to approximately 575, a reduction of 80 employees, or 12%.
