On October 24, 2012, the Company approved a re-organization plan to align strategy and function, reduce operating costs and improve profitability, which will result in a reduction in force of approximately 50 employees. The Company expects to incur between $2 million and $4 million in pre-tax restructuring charges, all of which would result in cash expenditures for one-time employee termination benefits. The Company expects to substantially complete the reduction in force by March 31, 2013 and expects to incur most of the pre-tax charges during the fourth quarter of 2012 with the remainder incurred in the first quarter of 2013.
