The following information is furnished pursuant to both Item 2.02 and Item 7.01:
 
On March 25, 2015, Worthington Industries, Inc. (the “Registrant” or the “Company”) issued a news release reporting results for the three- and nine-month periods ended February 28, 2015.  A copy of the news release (the “Release”) is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 2.05.  Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
 
As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 24, 2015 (the “March 24, 2015 Form 8-K”), the Registrant announced that it will close its Florence, South Carolina Engineered Cabs facility effective September 2015, and will transfer the facility’s business to other Engineered Cabs locations.   As a result of that decision, the Registrant recorded aggregate non-cash impairment charges of approximately $81.6 million in the Registrant’s Engineered Cabs business.  These non-cash impairment charges were comprised of approximately $44.9 million related to the full write-off of the goodwill associated with the Engineered Cabs business, $22.4 million related to the write-off of the intangible customer relationship asset and approximately $14.3 million related to certain fixed assets.

The Registrant also reported in the March 24, 2015 Form 8-K,  the announcement of a workforce reduction at its Pressure Cylinders Oil and Gas Equipment facilities in Garden City, Kansas, Skiatook, Oklahoma and Bremen and Wooster, Ohio which will impact approximately 245 employees.  The right-sizing of the Oil and Gas Equipment workforce will begin immediately in some of the facilities, as the recent softness in that market was beginning to be reflected in orders from customers.  The Company accrued approximately $2.3 million in one-time restructuring costs related to severance, which will be paid in cash.

The information contained in Item 2.05 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
