Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On May 31, 2017, the Board of Directors of SIFCO Industries, Inc.
(SIFCO or the Company) approved the decision of management to close
one of its manufacturing plants located in Alliance, Ohio
(“Alliance”). There are approximately 38 employees affected by
the decision. Management communicated the decision to the affected
employees on June 1, 2017. The decision to close Alliance was made
primarily due to the loss of a key customer in fiscal year 2015,
which resulted in the erosion of its sales volume over the past two
years. This closure falls in line with management’s key strategic
initiatives to make organizational and operational changes needed
to improve profitability.
In connection with the closure, the Company is still in the process
of estimating its exit costs. Once the costs have been determined,
SIFCO will file an amended Form 8-K. The Company expects the
closure process to begin immediately and occur over the next 150
days, during which it will incur the majority of the anticipated
exit costs.
A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
