On August 11, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a workforce reduction plan intended to facilitate the exit of personnel resources deemed non-essential to the business of the Company due primarily to (i) the divestiture of certain software product lines in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2017 and (ii) an internal realignment of sales resources. The workforce reduction plan impacts approximately 230 notified employees in the United States who are expected to exit the Company during the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017. The Company expects to incur aggregate charges of approximately $23 million to $26 million in its fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017 for severance and other employee termination costs associated with the workforce reduction plan. All of these charges are expected to result in cash expenditures. The Company’s headcount as of August 11, 2017, excluding the notified employees and employees associated with the fiscal fourth quarter software divestitures, was approximately 4,600.
