(13) Restructuring Costs

In July 2012, the Company undertook certain restructuring activities that included a workforce reduction of approximately 35 positions worldwide (the “2012 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 and to support the anticipated revenue levels we expect to achieve on a go forward basis. The total amount incurred with respect to severance under the 2012 Plan was $0.8 million. Actions under the 2012 Plan were substantially completed during the third quarter of 2012.

In July 2011, the Company undertook certain restructuring activities that included a workforce reduction of approximately 25 positions worldwide and the closing of a satellite facility (the “2011 Plan”). 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.
