Value Creation and Capture

On April 29, 2013, we committed to a plan to pursue identified Value Creation and Capture ("VCC") opportunities. These opportunities include investment in product line extensions and next generation products, enhancement of commercial capabilities and a transformation of our manufacturing network. The transformation of our manufacturing network will take place over the next three fiscal years and includes changes to the current manufacturing footprint and supply chain structure (the "Network Plan").

To implement the Network Plan, we will (i) discontinue manufacturing activities at our Braintree, Massachusetts location, (ii) create a technology center of excellence for product development, (iii) expand our current facility in Tijuana, Mexico and (iv) build a new manufacturing facility in Asia closer to our customer base in that region.

We estimate we will incur approximately $23.0 million of cash restructuring expenses during fiscal 2014 which will be recorded through cost of goods sold. To complete the Network Plan we estimate that we will spend an additional $8.0 million for cash restructuring expenses in future years. These costs consist principally of employee related costs, product line transfer costs including relocation and validation, as well as redundant overhead and inefficiencies during the transfer period. The management and execution of this effort will require a dedicated team of program managers, engineers, regulatory and quality professionals, the cost of which is included in these estimates. We also expect to incur non-cash costs of approximately $5.0 million consisting of accelerated depreciation and asset write-downs.

Activities under the Plan will be initiated in fiscal 2014 and are expected to be substantially completed in the next three years.   Additionally, we expect to deploy approximately $36.0 million of cash in fiscal 2014 for capital expenditures to expand our existing Tijuana, Mexico facility and construct a new facility in Asia.

We also expect to incur cash costs totaling $29.0 million associated with our other VCC opportunities, completion of the integration of the whole blood business and the recent acquisition of Hemerus.

Acquisition of Hemerus

On April 30, 2013 we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Hemerus LLC, a Minnesota based company that develops innovative technologies for the collection of whole blood and processing and storage of blood components. Hemerus has received FDA approval for SOLX® whole blood collection system for eight hour storage of whole blood. Hemerus previously received CE Marking (Conformité Européenne) in the European Union to market SOLX as the world's first 56-day red blood cell storage solution. We paid $23.0 million cash in addition to the $1.0 million paid early in fiscal 2013. We will pay an additional $3.0 million upon a further FDA approval of the SOLX solution for 24 hour storage of whole blood prior to processing, and will pay up to $14.0 million on future sales of SOLX-based products.
