Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A to the Current Report on Form 8-K, originally filed by HNI Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 8, 2017, amends the Form 8-K to include information unintentionally omitted  from Item 2.05 of the Form 8-K.


Section 2 — Financial Information

Item 2.05
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On February 6, 2017, HNI Corporation (the "Corporation") approved the closure of its Colville, Washington hearth manufacturing facility. The Corporation will consolidate the Colville production into existing hearth manufacturing facilities and anticipates the closure and consolidation to be substantially completed by the end of Q3 2017. The Corporation is making this network realignment as part of continued efficiency and simplification activities to deliver consistent, flawless execution to customers and to reduce structural costs.

The Corporation estimates the realignment will save $2.8 million annually beginning in Q4 2017. The Corporation anticipates charges related to the closure and consolidation will impact pre-tax earnings an estimated $6.7 million. The Corporation estimates cash restructuring and other costs associated with these actions will be approximately $3.3 million, with $1.1 million related to workforce reductions and approximately $2.2 million related to costs associated with manufacturing consolidation and production moves. The following table lists the estimated composition and timing of these charges:
