Item 2.05    Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On June 3, 2016, CTS Corporation issued a press release announcing a restructuring plan as part of a corporate-wide simplification strategy that was unveiled in 2013. Beginning in 2017, CTS will phase out production at its Elkhart, Indiana manufacturing facility by mid-2018 and transition the existing location into a research and development center supporting the company's global operations. Additional organizational changes will also occur in North America. Annual cost savings of between $6 - 8 million are expected upon completion of the restructuring plan. The cost of the plan is expected to range between $16 - 18 million and will be incurred during the 2016 - 2018 timeframe.
