In the first quarter of 2016, we recorded $9 million of charges for the restructure of manufacturing activities in Agrate, Italy and $5 million of severance benefits and equipment-related retirement and impairment costs to close our module assembly and test facility in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. As of June 2, 2016, we do not anticipate incurring significant additional costs for these restructure activities.

In the fourth quarter of 2016, we initiated a restructure plan in response to the current business environment and the need to accelerate focus on our key priorities.  We plan to implement a cost savings program in which we expect to save approximately $80 million per quarter in 2017.  The savings are expected to result from a combination of a more focused set of projects and programs, the permanent closure of a number of open headcount requisitions, a workforce reduction in certain areas of the business, and other non-headcount related spending reductions. In connection with the plan, we expect to incur charges of $70 million, substantially all in cash expenditures, the majority of which is expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2016, with the remainder in the early part of 2017.
