Item 2.05
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On May 6, 2014, HNI Corporation (the "Corporation") approved the closure of its Florence, Alabama office furniture manufacturing facility.  The Corporation will consolidate the Florence production into existing office furniture manufacturing facilities and anticipates the closure and consolidation to be substantially completed by the first quarter of 2015.  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 $5.8 million annually beginning in 2015.  The Corporation anticipates charges related to the closure and consolidation will impact pre-tax earnings an estimated $11.2 million.  The Corporation estimates cash restructuring and other costs associated with these actions will be approximately $6.8 million, with $1.7 million related to workforce reductions and approximately $5.1 million related to costs association with manufacturing consolidation and production moves.  The following table lists the estimated composition and timing of these charges:
