Exit and Disposal Activities

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

$98,000,

or less than

$0.01

per share, and

$509,000,

$0.03

per share, during the

first

three

months of

2019

and

2018,

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 the

first

quarter of

2019

were primarily related to mothball costs associated with the closed facility. The charges for the

first

quarter of

2018

included

$68,000

for equipment relocation costs and

$441,000

for other costs.

A summary of the total pre-tax charges is as follows (in thousands):

			Costs Incurred

The Company expects to incur additional pre-tax costs of approximately

$388,000

within Sypris Technologies, the majority of which is expected to be cash expenditures.
