Note 5 — Reorganization

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company implemented a reduction in its workforce of approximately 4% of its employees across various geographies and functions, in order to reallocate investment in 2015 to planned sales expansion and to delivery areas seeing the greatest client demand. Overall the Company expects to increase its headcount by approximately 1% at the end of 2015 compared to 2014 levels. The Company recorded $3.2 million of severance and related costs for this action during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  In addition, the Company incurred $0.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily for a non-cash charge for the liquidation of a small non-U.S. subsidiary. The costs under this plan are expected to be substantially paid by the end of 2015.

In the third quarter of 2015 the Company incurred $0.7 million of severance and related benefits for the reorganization of its Products Group, consisting of the termination of the chief product officer and related administrative staff, and the termination of a senior product leader with the intent to relocate this position to the U.S.  The responsibilities of the former chief product officer have been assumed by the Company’s chief research officer.  In addition, as a result of the change in leadership in the Products Group, the Company incurred $0.2 million of expense to write off a software development project that was no longer deemed probable to be completed.  

Approximately $0.5 million of the severance and related benefit costs incurred during 2015 are expected to be paid in 2016 and the remainder will be paid in 2015.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 the Company incurred $1.8 million of severance and related costs for the termination of approximately 1% of its employees across various geographies and functions primarily to realign resources due to the Company’s new organizational structure put in place in late 2013.
