Restructuring and Relocation Costs
 
Cold Chain Packaging
 
In
March 2019,
we announced that we will consolidate certain corporate administrative functions being performed in our Markham, Canada offices into our existing Lakewood, Colorado offices, and will close our Markham, Canada offices during the year ending
March 31, 2020.
Certain affected employees were offered an opportunity to continue in the organization, while most were offered a severance package. Costs associated with the closure are associated to the Cold Chain Packaging Reporting unit, or to general corporate costs. We recorded severance as a contractual termination benefit and recognized the expense of the qualified restructuring cost during the year ended
March 31, 2019.
We will record a liability for lease termination costs consisting of the net present value of remaining lease obligations, net of estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained, at the date we cease using the property, and measure fair value using Level
3
inputs (unobservable inputs). All other costs, including relocation costs, other office closure costs, and
third
-party costs, are recognized in the period incurred.
 
During the year ended
March 31, 2019,
we recorded
$150
related to employee severance and other transition costs into cost of sales, selling, or general and administrative costs on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, and we recorded a corresponding liability in accrued salaries and payroll taxes on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the year ending
March 31, 2020,
we expect to incur additional restructuring costs of
$150
to
$220,
consisting of: between
$65
to
$100
of employee relocation costs,
$10
to
$20
of
third
-party costs, and
$75
-
$100
of lease termination and other office closure costs.
 
Sterilization and Disinfection Control
 
In
August 2016,
we announced that we planned to shut down both our Omaha and Traverse City manufacturing facilities and relocate those operations to the new Bozeman building. The move of those
two
facilities, along with the current Bozeman operations, began in
March 2017
and was completed as of
June 30, 2018.
The total cost of the relocation was
$1,584
(which is comprised primarily of facility moving expenses, retention bonuses for existing personnel and payroll costs for duplicative personnel during the transition period) and these costs pertain to the Sterilization and Disinfection Control Division.
 
Facility relocation amounts accrued and paid for the year ended
March 31, 2019
are as follows:
 
Balance at March 31, 2018

We completed the sale of our old Bozeman facility during the year ended
March 31, 2019,
for
$2,222
(net of commissions) resulting in a gain of
$288,
which is recorded in other (income) expense, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
