Fiscal Year 2014 Restructuring Plan

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, we incurred pre-tax charges of $2.9 million, primarily relating to severance and personnel related costs for 48 involuntarily terminated employees associated with restructuring activities, including improving our operational effectiveness in Peabody Massachusetts to better leverage core competencies across the business, which are recognized in our Consolidated Statement of Operations under restructuring. Our pre-tax charges were included in our operating results of our Medical Imaging segment, Ultrasound segment and Security Technology segment. The $2.9 million charge was recorded in the operating results of our Medical Imaging, Ultrasound, and Security Technology segments, with charges of $1.9 million, $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively. We expect that the restructuring plan will be completed during fiscal year 2015.

Fiscal Year 2013 Restructuring Plan

In May 2013, we announced a restructuring plan and incurred pre-tax charges of $3.5 million, primarily relating to severance and personnel related costs of 115 terminated employees, as well as for facility exit costs closure of the Ultrasonix sales subsidiary in Paris, France as well as the closure of our ultrasound transducer operation in Englewood, Colorado as we consolidate our transducer operations in State College, Pennsylvania.
