Restructuring

NOTE J—Restructuring

In fiscal 2009, in response to the global economic downturn, the Company took several measures to address its cost structure. In addition to a company-wide salary freeze and decreased discretionary spending, the Company reduced its workforce by 25%. The Company reduced its workforce through voluntary and involuntary separation programs, voluntary retirement programs, and facility consolidations. The Company continued the execution of its restructuring actions during fiscal 2011. These actions included a reduction in its contract labor and decreased discretionary spending. As a result of these actions, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $2,134 and $5,775 during the three and six months ended January 31, 2011. The restructuring charges of $5,775 during the six months ended January 31, 2011 consisted of $3,878 of employee separation costs, $1,714 of fixed asset write-offs, and $183 of other facility closure related costs and contract termination costs. Of the $5,775 of restructuring charges recorded during the six months ended January 31, 2011, $3,575 was incurred in the Americas, $2,128 was incurred in Europe, and $72 was incurred in Asia-Pacific.
