We are targeting to complete the majority of the remaining workforce and facility related cost reduction actions during 2020 and 2021. In response to the anticipated significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future operating results, the Company is likely to initiate further actions in 2020, however no specific plans for other significant actions have been finalized at this time.
