Note 13.	Restructuring and Other Costs, Net

Restructuring and other costs in the first three months of 2018 included continuing charges for headcount reductions and facility consolidations in an effort to streamline operations, including the closure and consolidation of operations within several facilities in the U.S. and Europe; third-party transaction/integration costs related to the acquisition of Patheon; sales of inventories revalued at the date of acquisition; and net charges for litigation matters. In the first three months of 2018, severance actions associated with facility consolidations and cost reduction measures affected less than 1% of the company’s workforce.

As of May 4, 2018, the company has identified restructuring actions that will result in additional charges of approximately $105 million, primarily in 2018 and 2019, which will be recorded when specified criteria are met, such as communication of benefit arrangements and abandonment of leased facilities.
