Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

(a) On October 27, 2015, Unique Fabricating, Inc. (the “Company”) determined to close its manufacturing facility in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The Company expects to cease operations at the Murfreesboro facility by January of 2016. The Company currently expects that approximately 30 positions will be eliminated as a result of the closure.

The Company's decision resulted from the tight labor market in Murfreesboro and the struggle to staff production levels to meet the ongoing growth strategy for their respective products. To enable the Company to service its customers at the increasing volumes projected for the future, the Company has decided to move existing Murfreesboro production to our other manufacturing facilities in Evansville, Indiana and LaFayette, Georgia.

The Company will provide employees severance pay, health benefits continuation and job search assistance.

(b) The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $0.2-$0.3 in employee termination costs. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the ranges of amounts of other major types of costs expected to be incurred in connection with the closure.

(c) The Company is unable to estimate the total range of amount expected to be incurred in connection with the closure, at this time.

(d) The Company is unable to estimate the amount or range of the charge that will result from future cash expenditures.

On October 27, 2015, the Company issued a press release regarding the plant closure, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

This Form 8-K contains statements that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the timing with respect to closing the Murfreesboro, Tennessee manufacturing facility, and the Company's ability to enhance its costs structure and growth position as a result of the closing and the financial impact of the closing, are based on current expectations. All such forward-looking statements are based on management’s present expectations and are subject to certain factors, risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, outcome of events, timing and performance to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our Prospectus, dated June 30, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) and in particular the Section entitled “Risk Factors” of the Prospectus, as well as any updates to those risk factors filed from time to time in our periodic and current reports filed with the SEC. All statements contained in this release are made as of the date of this release, and Unique Fabricating does not intend to update this information, unless required by law.
