On August 8, 2006, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ALH Holding Inc. (“ALH”), the parent of Alliance Laundry Systems LLC (the “Company”), resolved to discontinue its Louisville, Kentucky operations (the “Discontinuance”) and close its Portland, Tennessee facility (the “Closure”). The Company expects to complete the Discontinuance and the Closure within the next six months. The decision was based on an analysis of each location’s manufacturing capabilities as well as the continuing investment requirements for each of the locations.
The Company estimates total cash costs and expenses associated with the Discontinuance and the Closure to be approximately $3.3 million comprised of (1) approximately $1.5 million of one-time termination benefits; (2) approximately $0.2 million of other labor related costs including training and temporary living expenses; (3) approximately $0.3 million related to the relocation of tooling and equipment; (4) approximately $1.0 million related to contractual obligations; and (5) approximately $0.3 million of other related expenses. The Company expects these costs to be partially offset by the proceeds of the anticipated sale of the Portland facility.
Statements contained herein that are not statements of historical or current fact constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used herein, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company or ALH to be materially different from historical results or from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In addition to statements which explicitly describe such risks and uncertainties readers are urged to consider statements labeled with the terms “believes,” “belief,” “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates” or “plans” to be uncertain and forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained herein are also subject generally to other risks and uncertainties that are described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.
