(13) Restructuring Costs

 

During 2011, the Company undertook certain restructuring activities that included a workforce reduction of approximately 25 global positions and the closing of a satellite facility (the “2011 Plan”). These actions were intended to better align the Company’s cost structure with the skills and resources required to more effectively execute the Company’s long-term growth strategy. The total amounts incurred with respect to severance and facilities abandonment under the 2011 Plan were $0.8 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. Actions under the 2011 Plan were substantially completed during the third quarter of 2011.

Accrued restructuring costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2011 associated with the 2011 Plan are as follows:

    Reconciliation of Aggregate Liability Recorded for

The expenses to the 2011 Plan are included within “restructuring costs” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The accrued payments remaining as of December 31, 2011 are expected to be paid at various times through June 2012.
