SKYLINE CORPORATION (NYSEMKT:SKY) Files An 8-K Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On February 14, 2017, Richard W. Florea, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Skyline Corporation (the “Corporation”), announced to employees at the Corporation’s Mansfield, Texas facility that the Corporation has determined to suspend operations at the Mansfield facility. The suspension is due to the plant being unable to profitably operate since it was converted from producing recreational vehicles to manufactured housing in fiscal 2014. Challenges this location faced included fewer independent manufactured housing dealerships buying homes than anticipated; resulting in sales volumes not reaching profitable levels.

The Corporation anticipates having sufficient orders to maintain production at the Mansfield facility for the next six to eight weeks. The Corporation is seeking potential buyers of the facility. If no buyer is found by the time production is completed, the majority of the workforce is expected to be terminated during the two-week period beginning March 27, 2017 and ending April 10, 2017.

As of the date of this filing, due to the uncertainty associated with finding a potential buyer for the Mansfield facility and other factors, the Corporation is unable to make a good faith determination of an estimate of (1) the total amount or range of amounts expected to be incurred in connection with the major types of costs associated with the suspension of operations at the Mansfield facility (such as one-time termination benefits, contract termination costs, and other associated costs), (2) the total amount or range of amounts expected to be incurred in connection with the action, or (3) the amount or range of amounts of the charge that will result in future cash expenditures. The Corporation will file an amended report on Form 8-K in connection with the Corporation’s determination of such estimates or range of estimates.
