NOTE 16 – RESTRUCTURING COSTS

In fiscal 2019, the Company announced plans to close its lighting manufacturing facility in New Windsor, New York. The closure was part of ongoing actions to align the Company’s supply chain to more cost effectively serve the changing requirements of the lighting market. The sale of the New Windsor facility occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The net proceeds were $12.3 million resulting in a gain of $4.8 million. In addition, in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company sold its North Canton, Ohio facility. The net proceeds were $7.7 million resulting in a net gain of $3.7 million. The Company relocated the production at the North Canton facility to smaller, leased facility in Akron, Ohio during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company also incurred $0.6 million of expense to write-down inventory which is not included in the tables below. Other restructuring costs incurred in fiscal 2020 related to the realignment of the Company’s manufacturing footprint at its Houston, Texas facility. The realignment occurred as the result of the movement of equipment related to the closure of the New Windsor facility along with preparations to receive additional equipment resulting from the relocation of the North Canton facility.
