FID Warnings etc.

[RJBender]

Thanks for the warning, Bill. What are you really trying to tell us? Don't buy film cameras?

Unfortunately, 200 employees out of 1500 will lose their jobs this year at Fujifilm's South Carolina's facility. Will the plant close? No.

Over the course of the next year, production of traditional film products will be consolidated in Japan, while Fujifilm-South Carolina will concentrate on digital compatible products and research and development.

Following the closures, the company will continue to employ more than 1,000 associates, and production will continue on QuickSnap cameras, PS printing plates, color photographic paper, medical imaging film and other digital-line related products.

Soon after you posted THIS, I called Fujifilm in Greenwood and posted THIS. They ain't fixin' to close.

Not all 1500 employees are involved in film production. I think you assumed all 1500 positions would be eliminated.
