On September 1, 2011, HNI Corporation (the "Corporation") announced it will close its Lithia Springs, Georgia office furniture distribution center (the "Lithia Springs DC") during the third and fourth quarters of 2011 and first quarter of 2012. The Lithia Springs DC is operated by a third-party logistics provider. The Corporation will add distribution capacity to its Cedartown, Georgia office furniture manufacturing facility and distribution center (the "Cedartown Facility") to make up for the loss of the Lithia Springs DC. To make room for the additional distribution capacity, the Corporation will consolidate some office furniture manufacturing production from the Cedartown Facility into existing office furniture manufacturing facilities in Muscatine, Iowa. The Corporation anticipates the closure, consolidation and realignment to be substantially completed by the end of the first quarter of 2012. The Corporation made this decision to reduce structural costs.
The Corporation anticipates charges related to the closure, consolidation and realignment will impact pre-tax earnings an estimated $5.4 million. The following table lists the estimated composition and timing of these charges:
