Regis Corporation

Current Report on Form 8-K

 
ITEM 2.05     COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES.

On January 8, 2018, Regis Corporation announced a restructuring of its SmartStyle portfolio, pursuant to which it will close 597 non-performing Company owned SmartStyle salons (which includes 8 TGF locations) on January 31, 2018.  Regis intends to offer many impacted stylists and salon managers comparable positions in other SmartStyle or Regis family of brands salons.  The action delivers on Regis’ commitment to restructure its salon portfolio to improve shareholder value and position Regis for long-term growth.  Regis anticipates total net one-time charges of approximately $38 million in connection with the salon closures, of which approximately $36 million will be paid in cash.  The cash charges include approximately $1 million of severance and approximately $35 million of costs to terminate the leases and return the vacated salons to pre-occupancy condition.  Approximately $27 million of cash disbursements associated with the salon closures occurred during the second fiscal quarter. The approximately $2 million of net non-cash expenses relate to $5 million of impairment and write-off related charges partially offset by $3 million of non-cash benefit related to deferred rent balances associated with the salon closures. The 597 non-performing salons generated negative cash flow of approximately $15 million during the twelve months ended September 30, 2017. A copy of the press release announcing the salon closures is attached as Exhibit 99.
