Fiscal Year 2016 Restructuring Plan

On September 16, 2015, we announced our fiscal year 2016 restructuring plan. This plan includes the transition of certain manufacturing activities from our Peabody, Massachusetts location to our existing facility in Shanghai, China, and a reduction in force in order to align our research and development investment with expected customer funding. We incurred pre-tax charges of $9.6 million during the fiscal year 2016, primarily relating to severance and personnel related costs for 117 terminated employees, with other costs attributable to the relocation of existing equipment and project management costs, which are recognized in our Consolidated Statement of Operations under restructuring. The $9.6 million charge was recorded in the operating results of our Medical Imaging, Ultrasound, and Security and Detection segments, with charges of $6.0 million, $1.9 million, and $1.7 million, respectively. We expect that the restructuring plan will be substantially completed during fiscal year 2017.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, we implemented our fiscal year 2014 restructuring plan to improve our operational effectiveness in Peabody, Massachusetts and leverage core competencies better across the business.
