Item 2.05.
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On August 31, 2018, Aegion Corporation (the "Company") and its subsidiaries, The Bayou Companies, LLC and Aegion Holding Company, LLC, entered into a Purchase Agreement with Bayou Holdco, Inc. pursuant to which Sellers, simultaneous with the entry into the Purchase Agreement, sold: (a) substantially all of the assets of Bayou; and (b) Aegion Holding Company, LLC's entire interest in Bayou Wasco Insulation, LLC, which represented 51% of the outstanding membership interest of Bayou Wasco Insulation, LLC (collectively, the "Bayou Disposition").

The Bayou Disposition was part of the Company’s previously announced strategic actions associated with the realignment and restructuring plan described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed August 3, 2017, as amended by the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed October 3, 2017 and the subsequent periodic filings of the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Bayou Disposition is expected to result in a pre-tax loss of approximately $8.0 million to $10.0 million.

The Company's 2018 second quarter Form 10-Q, filed August 2, 2018, announced future charges would be incurred as a result of decisions to exit the CIPP contracting operations in Denmark. Management has concluded their initial evaluation of exit costs for CIPP operations in Denmark and anticipates taking a $5.0 million to $6.0 million charge by the end of 2018. Management expects less than $1.0 million of the charges will be cash.
