Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

     On October 10, 2007, Lennox International Inc. (the “Company”) announced plans to close its refrigeration operations in Danville, IL and consolidate its Danville manufacturing, support, and warehouse functions in its Tifton, GA and Stone Mountain, GA operations.

     With increased competition in both the domestic and foreign refrigeration markets, the Company believes the consolidation is necessary to remain competitive. The consolidation will be a phased process and is expected to be completed over the next 18 months. The Company expects the consolidation to lead to annual pre-tax cost reductions of over $6 million beginning 2009.

     In conjunction with these actions, the Company currently expects to incur restructuring-related charges of approximately $17.3 million pre-tax. Included in these charges are the following estimated costs:

	•		One-time employee termination benefits of approximately $3.8 million consisting primarily of severance and related fringe benefits; and
	•		Other associated costs of approximately $13.5 million, which include (i) loss on disposal of certain long-lived assets of approximately $3.9 million; (ii) relocation costs of approximately $2.1 million, primarily for equipment and inventory and (iii) other associated costs of approximately $7.5 million.

     The above estimated costs are expected to result in short-term cash outlays of approximately $11.8 million and non-cash asset write-offs of approximately $5.5 million.

     This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are based upon management’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management.
