Restructuring Plan

After our acquisition of IntraLase Corp. in the second quarter of 2007, we continued femtosecond laser manufacturing operations in Irvine, California (Irvine Plant). As part of the overall integration of IntraLase, on December 13, 2007, we committed to a plan to relocate the femtosecond laser manufacturing operations from the Irvine Plant to our excimer laser and phacoemulsification manufacturing facility in Milpitas, California (Milpitas Plant), in order to consolidate equipment manufacturing in one location and to maximize opportunities to leverage core strengths. We also moved the assembly of IntraLase disposable patient interfaces from the Irvine Plant to our facility in Puerto Rico in order to obtain additional synergies.

As a continuation of our commitment to further enhance our global competitiveness, operating leverage and cash flow, our Board of Directors on February 12, 2008 approved an additional plan to reduce our fixed costs. The additional plan included a net workforce reduction of approximately 150 positions, or about 4% of our global workforce. In addition, we consolidated certain operations, including the relocation of all non-manufacturing related activities at the Irvine Plant, to improve our overall facility utilization.

These plans include workforce reductions and transfers, outplacement assistance, relocation of certain employees, facilities-related costs, and accelerated amortization of certain long-lived assets and termination of redundant supplier contracts. These plans also resulted in start-up costs such as expenses for moving, incremental travel, recruiting and duplicate personnel associated with hiring staff during ramp-up, as well as incremental costs associated with capacity underutilization of the Milpitas Plant during the ramp-up period.

We currently expect to complete these activities in 2008 and estimate the total pre-tax charges resulting from these plans to be in the range of $36 million to $43 million, substantially all of which are expected to be cash expenditures. The Company has recognized the following costs associated with the restructuring plans (in thousands):

 

     Three Months Ended
September 26, 2008
   Nine Months Ended
September 26, 2008

Costs included in cost of sales:

     

Facilities related and other costs

   $ 4,721    $ 4,721

Termination of redundant supplier contracts

     166      166

Incremental costs for transition and start-up activities at the Milpitas Plant

     803      803
             
     5,690      5,690

Costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses:

     

Accelerated depreciation relating to the restructuring

     1,839      3,678
             

Costs included in restructuring charges:

     

Severance, retention bonuses, employee relocation and other one-time termination benefits

     1,991      22,463

Facilities related and other costs

     —        613

Travel and relocation

     1,456      1,456
             
     3,447      24,532
             

Total

   $ 10,976    $ 33,900
             

Cumulative charges from plan inception through September 26, 2008 were $34.3 million. Expected annualized cost savings from these restructuring actions are expected to range from $12 million to $16 million. Actual cost savings could be significantly different from the estimated range if any unforeseen events or changes occur.
