ITEM 2.05 COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES
On June 1, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved the closure and
eventual disposal of its manufacturing plant located in Humboldt, Tennessee. The
closure is related to committed synergy capture from the acquisition of RSI Home
Products Inc. and the subsequent realignment of its flatstock operations. A
portion of the Humboldt facility's capacity had been previously moved to
Anaheim, California and the remaining capacity will be shifting to its Anaheim
and Toccoa, Georgia facilities.
The manufacturing plant is expected to cease operations in September 2020. The
Company expects to incur total pre-tax restructuring costs of $3.0 million to
$5.0 million related to the closing of the plant, net of building proceeds. The
restructuring costs consist of employee severance and separation costs of
approximately $0.5 million to $1.0 million, and charges for asset impairment of
property, equipment and inventory of approximately $2.5 million to $4.0 million.
The Company expects to recognize substantially all of these charges during
fiscal 2021. Once completed, the Company expects to realize ongoing savings of
approximately $6.0 million to $7.0 million per year as a result of these
actions.
