This excerpt taken from the EYE 10-Q filed Nov 8, 2007. Note 4: Product Rationalization and Business Repositioning Plan and Product Recalls Product Rationalization and Business Repositioning Plan On October 31, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a product rationalization and repositioning plan covering the discontinuation of non-strategic cataract surgical and eye care products and the elimination or redeployment of resources that support these product lines. The plan also included organizational changes and potential reductions in force in manufacturing, sales and marketing associated with these product lines, as well as organizational changes in research and development and other corporate functions designed to align the organization with our strategy and strategic business unit organization. The plan further called for increasing the Company’s investment in key growth opportunities, specifically the Company’s refractive implant product line and international laser vision correction business, and accelerating the implementation of productivity initiatives. Following an analysis of its IOL manufacturing capabilities in the second quarter of 2006, the Company consolidated certain operations. In addition, the Company expanded the scope of its eye care rationalization initiatives in order to maximize manufacturing capacity and seize growth opportunities. The plan was completed in the fourth quarter of 2006. Total cumulative charges of $105.0 million were incurred through December 31, 2006.
