ITEM 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
ITEM 8.01. Other Events
On September 28, 2005, FTI Consulting, Inc. (“FTI”) issued a press release announcing the anticipated move of its principal corporate office housing executive management and FTI’s legal department from Annapolis to Baltimore, Maryland, which is expected to take place in December 2005. FTI reported that in connection with the impending move to Baltimore, it has sub-leased for 30 months a portion of its New York City facility originally anticipated for use by its executive management, as well as future expansion. FTI was required to either occupy or sub-lease such space as of August 1, 2005 and received a cash inducement of $3.3 million which will be amortized over the life of the lease as a reduction of future cash rent expense. As a result of the sub-lease, FTI will incur a one-time charge of approximately $900,000, or approximately $0.01 per share, in the third quarter of 2005, representing the present value of the New York City lease costs, commissions and depreciation for the duration of the sub-lease in excess of the sub-lease rental income. The full text of the Press Release is set forth in Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
The information included herein, including Exhibit 99.1 furnished herewith, shall be deemed not to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into any filing pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any incorporation by reference language in any such filing, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
