39. Subsequent Events
On February 14, 2007, DaimlerChrysler announced the Chrysler
Group’s three-year “Recovery and Transformation Plan.” This
plan aims to return the Chrysler Group to profitability by 2008
and redesign the business model for the Chrysler Group. The
plan identifies a combination of measures designed to increase
revenues and reduce costs, including: continuation of the
product offensive; workforce reductions by 13,000 employees
over three years; reduction of material costs by €1.15 billion;
and reduction in production capacity by 400,000 units per year
by eliminating work shifts and idling plants. DaimlerChrysler
expects these recovery measures to result in restructuring charges
of up to €1 billion to be recognized in its financial statements
in 2007, with a cash impact for the year 2007 of about €0.8
billion. The plan will be supported by investments of €2.3 billion
in new engines, transmissions and axles.
