Restructuring Costs
 
In the third quarter of 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Plan 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 revenue levels the Company expected to achieve on a go forward basis.  In connection with the 2013 Plan, the Company eliminated over 100 positions worldwide, implemented tighter expense controls, ceased non-core activities and closed or downsized several facilities. The 2013 Plan was substantially completed by December 31, 2014; however, we expect the majority of the severance related costs to be paid once final settlement litigation is completed, which can be at various times over the next three to twenty-four months. The following table summarizes the activity during 2017 related to restructuring liabilities recorded in connection with the 2013 Plan:

  In June 2017, the Board approved a comprehensive plan to increase operating performance (the “2017 Plan”).

The 2017 Plan will result in a realignment and reduction in workforce. When substantially completed by the end of the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, the Company expects that the 2017 Plan when combined with previous workforce reductions in the second quarter of Fiscal 2017 will have reduced the Company’s workforce to approximately 80 employees. These actions are anticipated to result in an annualized cost savings of approximately $10.0 million. In connection with the 2017 Plan, the Company expects to incur total estimated charges of up to $1.0 million, consisting primarily of severance. In making these changes, the Company prioritized customer support and development while consolidating operations and cutting direct sales resources allowing the company to focus on the install base and develop alternate channels to the market.

The severance related liabilities are included within “accrued expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The expenses under the 2013 Plan are included within “restructuring costs” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
