L.B. Foster Company (NASDAQ:FSTR) Files An 8-K Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On October 29, 2019, L.B. Foster Company (“Company”) issued a press release announcing the Company’s results of operations for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019. A copy of that press release is furnished with this report as Exhibit 99.1.
The information contained in this Current Report shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On October 29, 2019, the Company announced to certain union and non-union employees at our CXT Concrete Buildings facility, located in Spokane, Washington, the intent to relocate the pre-fabricated concrete buildings manufacturing operation to Boise, Idaho. This move is part of an initiative focusing on regional growth opportunities and logistical savings associated with fabricating product in a more centralized location closer to the Company’s existing and prospective customer base. The Company expects to cease pre-fabricated building operations in Spokane, Washington, and commence operations in Boise, Idaho, in the first quarter of 2020.
As a result of this relocation, the Company expects to incur certain exit and disposal charges consisting of severance, relocation, and employee retention expense, as well as site clean-up and facility restoration expense, totaling approximately $1.0 to $1.5 million in its Construction Products operating segment. The approximate expense resulting from this relocation could change materially as a result of certain factors such as employee acceptances of the severance packages offered and unknown or unforeseen costs as part of winding up operations at the Spokane, Washington fabrication facility.
