Restructuring and Other Related Charges

Company-wide Reorganization Program:
During 2010, the Company initiated a “Company-wide Reorganization Program”, including a reshaping of the organization with the objective of deploying resources closer to the customers, allowing Omnicare to become more responsive to customer needs, better leveraging the Omnicare platform and better positioning the Company for potential growth.  The program was completed in the third quarter of 2012 with the completion of the relocation of the Corporate office. The Company recorded restructuring and other related charges for the CWR program of approximately $11 million in the third quarter of 2012 and $14 million cumulatively since 2010. The majority of the charges were recorded in the Corporate/Other segment.

Details of the Company-wide Reorganization Program restructuring related charges are as follows (pretax, in thousands):

Omnicare Full Potential Plan:
In 2006, the Company commenced the implementation of the “Omnicare Full Potential” Plan, a major initiative primarily designed to re-engineer the Company’s pharmacy operating model to increase efficiency and enhance customer growth, which was substantially completed in 2010.  The Omnicare Full Potential Plan optimized resources across the entire organization through implementing best practices, including the realignment and right-sizing of functions, and a “hub-and-spoke” model, whereby certain key administrative and production functions were transferred to regional support centers (“hubs”) specifically designed and managed to perform these tasks, with local pharmacies (“spokes”) focusing on time-sensitive services and customer-facing processes.  

The Company recorded restructuring and other related charges for the Omnicare Full Potential Program of approximately $14 million during the year ended December 31, 2010, or cumulative aggregate restructuring and other related charges of approximately $110 million through 2010.  The Company eliminated approximately 2,700 positions in completing the Omnicare Full Potential program.

The restructuring charges primarily included severance pay, the buy-out of employment agreements, lease terminations, and other exit-related asset disposals, professional fees and facility exit costs.  The other related charges were primarily comprised of professional fees.  Details of the Omnicare Full Potential Plan restructuring and other related charges are as follows (pretax, in thousands):
