Note 4 – Restructuring and Related Activities

In the third fiscal quarter of 2019, the Company announced global cost reduction and management rejuvenation programs as part of its continuous efforts to improve efficiency and operating performance.

The programs are primarily designed to reduce manufacturing fixed costs and selling, general, and administrative costs company-wide, and provide management rejuvenation.  The Company expects to incur charges of approximately $25,000, primarily related to cash severance costs, to implement these programs.  The Company expects these cost reductions to be fully achieved by December 2020.

The following table summarizes the activity to date related to this program:

Expense recorded in 2019	$	24,139
Cash paid		(1,330	)
Foreign currency translation		35
Balance at December 31, 2019	$	22,844
Cash paid		(3,742	)
Foreign currency translation		(307	)
Balance at April 4, 2020	$	18,795

The payment terms vary by country, but generally are paid in a lump sum at cessation of employment.  The current portion of the liability is $15,348 and is included in other accrued expenses on the consolidated condensed balance sheet.  The non-current portion of the liability is $3,447 and is included in other liabilities on the consolidated condensed balance sheet.
