19. Subsequent Event

On January 30, 2018, the Company announced its plans to close its lighting division and manufacturing operations in Brecksville, Ohio. The Company believes that such business is not core to its strategy and growth objectives. In connection therewith, the Company has terminated approximately fifty employees, and began the process to exit the facilities in Ohio and sell the related equipment. In connection with this action, the Company evaluated and concluded that there was no impairment associated with the equipment at December 31, 2017. The Company expects to record restructuring charges of approximately $2 million to $5 million related to employee terminations and severance costs, and facility related costs. In addition, at the time of exiting the facility in Ohio, the Company expects to record a gain of approximately $5 million which represents the imputed financing obligation for its obligations to the legal owners. The Company expects to recognize most of the restructuring charges and related gain in the first quarter of 2018.
