PROVISION FOR RESTRUCTURING

Profit Enhancement Plan

During September 2014, we initiated the Profit Enhancement Plan focused on increasing profitability through strategic headcount reductions and the streamlining of manufacturing processes. The projects included in this plan are currently underway, with final headcount reductions expected to be recognized by the fourth quarter of 2015. For the quarter ended March 29, 2015, the net charge to earnings of $1.4 million represents the current year activity related to the Profit Enhancement Plan. Total costs of the plan are $6.7 million through the end of the first quarter of 2015. Termination benefits are planned to be paid 1 month to 24 months after termination.

Global Restructuring Plan (including LEAN)

During September 2011, we initiated the Global Restructuring Plan focused on further reducing our overall operating expenses by including manufacturing and other cost reduction initiatives, such as consolidating certain manufacturing facilities and administrative functions to improve efficiencies. This plan was further expanded in the first quarter of 2012 and again during the second quarter of 2012 to include Project LEAN. All projects in our Global Restructuring Plan including Project LEAN have been substantially completed.

For the quarter ended March 29, 2015, the net release to earnings of $0.1 million represents the current year activity related to the Global Restructuring Plan including Project LEAN. Total costs related to the plan of $60 million have been incurred through March 29, 2015. All terminations for the plan have been substantially completed as of March 29, 2015. Termination benefits are planned to be paid 1 month to 24 months after termination.
