Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

As part of on-going efforts to reduce structural costs and enhance efficiency, on February 17, 2016, HNI Corporation (the "Corporation") approved the closure of its Paris, Kentucky hearth manufacturing facility. The Corporation plans to consolidate the Paris production into existing hearth manufacturing facilities and anticipates the closure and consolidation to be substantially completed by the end of 2016.

The Corporation estimates the consolidation will save $9.0 million annually beginning in 2017. The Corporation anticipates charges related to the closure and consolidation will impact pre-tax earnings an estimated $8.9 million. The Corporation estimates cash restructuring and other costs associated with these actions will be approximately $5.8 million, with $2.4 million related to workforce reductions and approximately $3.4 million related to costs associated with manufacturing consolidation and production moves. The following table lists the estimated composition and timing of these charges:
