ITEM 2.05        COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES.

        On December 30, 2016, Interface, Inc. ("the Company") committed to a new restructuring plan in its continuing efforts to improve efficiencies and decrease costs across its worldwide operations, and more closely align its operating structure with its business strategy.  The plan involves (i) a substantial restructuring of the FLOR business model that includes closure of its headquarters office and most retail FLOR stores, (ii) a reduction of approximately 70 FLOR employees and a number of employees in the commercial carpet tile business, primarily in the Americas and Europe regions, and (iii) the write-down of certain underutilized and impaired assets that include information technology assets, and obsolete manufacturing, office and retail store equipment.

        As a result of this plan, the Company expects to incur a pre-tax restructuring and asset impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2016 of approximately $17-19 million, followed by an additional charge in the first quarter of 2017 of approximately $7-9 million.  (The charge in the first quarter of 2017 is primarily related to exit costs associated with the FLOR retail stores, a majority of which are expected to stay open for the first quarter of 2017.)

        The aggregate amount of the charges is expected to be approximately $25-27 million, estimated to be comprised of severance expenses ($10-11 million), lease exit costs ($6-8 million), impairment of assets ($7-8 million) and other items (approximately $1 million).  Approximately $17 million of the anticipated charges is expected to result in future cash expenditures, primarily for severance payments (approximately $10 million) and lease exit costs (approximately $7 million)  The restructuring plan is expected to be substantially completed in the first half of 2017, and is expected to yield annual savings of approximately $13-14 million beginning in fiscal year 2017, with approximately $9 million of the savings realized in selling, general and administrative expenses and $4 million realized in cost of sales.

ITEM 2.06        MATERIAL IMPAIRMENTS.

        In connection with the above-described restructuring plan, which the Company committed to on December 30, 2016, the Company expects to record aggregate non-cash charges of approximately $7-8 million for material impairment of assets that include information technology assets, and obsolete manufacturing, office and retail store equipment.  The Company expects approximately $5-6 million of the impairment charge to occur in the fourth quarter of 2016, and the balance to occur in the first quarter of 2017.
