The Company also announced that Christine Cournoyer, President and Chief Operating Officer, will leave the Company in July and Chief Executive Officer, Pamela D.A. Reeve, will assume her duties. For the second quarter of 2003, the Company expects to record a restructuring charge of approximately $700,000, in addition to the restructuring charge of approximately $1.0 million announced earlier in the year for the facilities consolidation in Broomfield, Colorado. The Company also expects related and additional restructuring charges of approximately $3.6 million in the third quarter and $200,000 in the fourth quarter of 2003. When fully implemented, the action is expected to produce $7.0 to $8.0 million in annual pre-tax cost savings, exclusive of new investments. Components of the reorganization include the closing of the Company's Irvine, California facility, the transfer of key employment positions to its Broomfield, Colorado facility, a headcount reduction of an estimated 70 positions, and future headcount additions in strategic business areas.
