INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On April 26, 2007, Modine Manufacturing Company (the “Company”) announced its conditional plans to close its Jackson, Mississippi manufacturing plant. The decision is conditioned upon the conclusion of decision bargaining with the union at the facility.

The conditional decision to close the Jackson plant was communicated to affected employees on April 26, 2007. If decision bargaining results in the closing being implemented, the closure of the Jackson facility is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2009. This activity is part of the Company’s previously announced ongoing cost reduction initiatives of its Global Repositioning Plan.

In conjunction with this action, the Company currently expects to incur approximately $4.3 million in pre-tax charges over the closure period, consisting of $1.5 million of employee-related costs (subject to union decision bargaining) and $2.8 million of other related costs. Cash-related expenditures for this closure action are expected to be approximately $4.3 million.

A copy of the press release announcing this item is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements as indicated by the use of the words “expects” and “currently expects.” Actual events or results may differ materially from those statements. For information about the factors that could cause such differences, please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006, including the information in Items 1A and 7 of that report, and the Company’s periodic reports on Forms 10-Q.
