Exit and Disposal Activities
 
On
February 21, 2017,
the Board of Directors approved a modified exit or disposal plan with respect to the Broadway Plant, which included the relocation of production to other Company facilities, as needed, and/or the closure of the plant. The relocation of production was complete as of the end of
2017.
The Company has relocated certain assets from the Broadway Plant to other manufacturing facilities, as needed, to serve its existing and target customer base and identified underutilized or non-core assets for disposal. Management expects to apply the proceeds from the sale of any underutilized or non-core assets to help fund the costs to transfer any additional equipment from the Broadway Plant. Management is currently evaluating options for the real estate and any remaining assets in the Broadway Plant.
 
As a result of these initiatives, the Company recorded charges of
$1,394,000,
or
$0.07
per share, and
$2,360,000,
or
$0.12
per share, during
2018
and
2017,
respectively, related to the transition of production from the Broadway Plant, which is included in severance, relocation and other costs in the consolidated statement of operations. All amounts incurred were recorded within Sypris Technologies. The charges for
2018
included
$361,000
for equipment relocation costs and
$1,033,000
primarily related to mothball costs associated with the closed facility. The charges for
2017
included
$936,000
for severance and benefit related costs and
$1,424,000
for equipment relocation costs. A summary of the total pre-tax charges is as follows (in thousands):
