Dispositions and Closures
Associated with the closure of Bristol Fab in 2014, Bristol Fab's collective bargaining agreement with the Union expired and the Company was legally obligated to pay a withdrawal liability to the Union's pension fund of approximately $1,904,628. This obligation was payable over 26 months ending October 1, 2016 with an interest rate of 4.51 percent.
During 2016, the Company successfully completed the items and processes identified when the one-time closing charges were developed. A charge of $99,334 and $1,251,058, net of tax respectively, was recorded as discontinued operations during 2016 and 2015 for a legal claim filed against Synalloy Fabrication as discussed in Note 13. The matter was settled during 2016 and the settlement was paid in full by September 2016. As such, the facility closing reserve was zero as of December 31, 2016. Bristol Fab was reported as a part of the Metals Segment.
