Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On February 2, 2012, our Board of Directors approved the implementation of a restructuring and cost reduction plan (the “2012 Plan”) that will include severance and related costs, contractual obligations, administrative costs and long-lived asset impairments associated with the closure of our Israel Technology Development Center totaling $4.7 to $5.9 million. The 2012 Plan is designed to re-align our software investments to focus on accelerating the development of embedded software features, in order to launch a competitive set of mid-range storage array products in 2012, and to provide more differentiated entry-level products for both OEM and channel customers. The majority of the activities comprising the 2012 Plan are expected to be completed by the end of 2012. We expect to record severance costs in the range of $1.2 to $1.4 million, record contractual obligations in the range of $1.2 to $1.5 million, incur legal and other administrative costs in the range of $0.2 to $0.4 million and recognize long-lived asset impairments of approximately $2.1 to $2.6 million in connection with the 2012 Plan.
