Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, Other Events, Financial Statements
As reported in Item 8.01 of this Current Report, on October 10, 2008, the Company announced that it will unify its magazine subscription, membership and direct mail fulfillment services businesses at its Palm Coast, Florida facility. The unification is part of the Company's plan to streamline operations, improve service and reduce costs in its fulfillment services businesses. As part of this undertaking, the Company will close its facilities in Louisville, Colorado and the portion of its facilities in Mt. Morris, Illinois from which these services are also provided.
The Company estimates that the closures will occur over a three-year period and will involve a pre-tax cost to the Company during this period of approximately $7.0 million, including approximately $5.0 million of cash payments comprised of approximately $2.8 million of severance and retention payments, a $1.3 million lease termination fee, and other miscellaneous cash costs and approximately $2.0 million of non-cash charges comprised of accelerated amortization and impairment charges.
On October 10, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing that it will unify the magazine subscription, membership and direct mail fulfillment services businesses of its subsidiaries, Palm Coast Data LLC and Kable Fulfillment Services, Inc., under one brand: Palm Coast Data - and into one location, the Company's fulfillment services facility in Palm Coast, Florida. The unification of these businesses is part of a long range plan, initiated when the Company acquired Palm Coast Data in January 2007, to streamline operations, improve service to clients and create cost efficiencies through the reduction of overhead costs and the elimination of operating redundancies. A copy of the press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference.
