Item 2.05.   Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

(b)(c) On March 27, 2015, ITT Corporation (the “Company”) announced a series of restructuring actions in the Company’s Industrial Process business due to a strategic reorganization of the business and to achieve efficiencies and reduce the overall cost structure.   The Company expects to incur pre-tax cash costs, principally involuntary severance costs, of approximately $13 to $14 million and other non-cash pre-tax charges of approximately $4 to $5 million.  The Company expects to substantially complete these actions during the next six months.  The benefits from this plan, after full implementation, are expected to yield pre-tax savings to the Company of approximately $17 million to $20 million on an annual basis. The annualized benefit and cost estimates were included within the Company’s earnings estimates and range of expected restructuring and realignment costs for 2015 discussed on the Company’s year-end earnings conference call on February 13, 2015.
