Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On November 11, 2011, Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition Company, LLC (the “Company”) provided approximately 300 affected employees with 60-day notices pursuant to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) or, as applicable, notices pursuant to foreign statutory requirements. The Company first notified employees that it expected to implement a reduction in force program affecting all levels of the Company on November 4, 2011.

This reduction program was implemented in order to resize and align the Company to a smaller market with projected slower growth in response to continued adverse market conditions affecting the Business and General Aviation market and pressure on defense spending by US and foreign governments. It is expected that this reduction program will be completed by the end of January 2012. Affected employees will receive certain one-time termination benefits, including severance payments and payment for non-working notice periods.

The Company expects that it will record charges for one-time termination benefits related to the reduction program in the current quarter and the first quarter of 2012. The Company estimates that these charges will be approximately $6.9 million in the aggregate. The Company expects the cash impact to be consistent with the amount of these charges. The Company does not anticipate other material costs to be incurred in connection with this reduction program.
