Restructuring and Relocation Costs | M. Restructuring and Relocation Costs During Fiscal 2013 we recorded restructuring and relocation charges totaling $3.9 million. These charges were related to our Electrical Power Products business segment. We recorded approximately $2.8 million in F iscal 2013 related to relocation efforts in connection with the construction of our new facility in Houston, Texas and our new facility in Acheson, Alberta, Canada. These costs were primarily related to the relocation of our operations, the loss on the sublease, and the abandonment of leasehold improvements on the previously occupied facilities in the second half of F iscal 2013. The construction of our two new facilities was substantially completed in September 2013 and we have relocated the majority of our operations and personnel from their previously leased facilities. In the third quarter of Fiscal 2013, we recorded $1.1 million related to severance at our United Kingdom operations. These operations were negatively impacted by market conditions and competitive pressures in the international markets in which they operate; therefor e, we exited certain non-core operations and eliminated certain positions to better align our workforce with current market conditions.
