In September 2013, the Company moved into its new corporate headquarters in The Woodlands, Texas, a suburb of Houston. The move involved most executive positions in Layne’s corporate leadership, as well as certain other management and staff positions. Most senior executives from Layne’s six divisions will ultimately consolidate into the Houston headquarters. The relocation is expected to be substantially complete by the end of the fiscal year. The Company has incurred expenses of $1.9 million and $8.8 million in the three months and nine months ended October 31, 2013, respectively. The Company incurred $2.7 million in expenses associated with the relocation during fiscal 2013. The expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated financial statements, and consist primarily of employee relocation costs, severance and employee retention arrangements. The Company expects to incur approximately $2.5 million of additional expenses over the remainder of fiscal year 2014.
