In the Initial 8-K, the Company disclosed that it expected to incur a pre-tax loss and resulting charge in connection with the sale, but that it was unable at that time to make an estimate of the amount, or range of amounts, of the charge. The Company is now able to make this determination, and expects to incur an impairment loss and resulting charge in connection with the anticipated sale of these businesses in the range of $35 million to $40 million, primarily related to a write-down of long-lived assets, which will be reflected in the fourth quarter and full-year 2017 results. The charge is an estimate of the difference between net book value and fair value. Sales proceeds, one of the primary assumptions in providing an estimate of fair value, could vary resulting in an additional adjustment. Included within this charge, the Company expects future net cash expenditures of approximately $5 million. Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A are forward-looking as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about the Company's business and by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain.  Words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “target,” “plan,” “seek,” “estimate,” “believe,” “predict,” “outlook” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations as of the date of this filing.  Refer to the risk factors included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2016.  Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update them to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this filing. Item 7.01.                  Regulation FD Disclosure The Company’s historical financial statements will be restated in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2017 ("2017 Form 10-K") to reflect the results of the Sea Ray businesses as discontinued operations. In advance of the Company filing its 2017 Form 10-K, this Form 8-K/A provides restated historical Net sales, Operating earnings (loss) and Restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges for continuing operations for the three months and year-to-date periods ended during each quarterly period for 2016 and the first three quarters of 2017. These changes will be reflected in the earnings release for the fourth quarter and full-year of 2017 scheduled to be released on February 1, 2018, and the management discussion and analysis and consolidated financial statements and footnotes in the 2017 Form 10-K to be issued for the year ended December 31, 2017.
