COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH AN EXIT ACTIVITY

As part of its supply chain optimization initiative, HSNi announced in June 2015 its plan to close the HSN distribution center in Roanoke, Virginia and expand the capabilities of its distribution center in Piney Flats, Tennessee. HSNi expects the closure to be completed in 2018.

HSNi expects to incur approximately $4 million to $5 million in total charges related to the closure. These charges include approximately $3 million to $4 million in employee-related expenses, including severance payments and retention incentives, $3.2 million of which were recognized in fiscal 2015.

A summary of HSNi’s liability associated with exit activities, which is recorded in “Other long-term liabilities" as of March 31, 2017 and "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" as of March 31, 2016 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, are presented in the following table (in thousands):
