On March 12, 2013, NBTY initiated a restructuring plan to streamline its operations and improve the profitability and return on invested capital of its manufacturing/packaging and distribution facilities. The restructuring involves the sale or closure of seven of NBTY's manufacturing/packaging and distribution facilities. Facilities that have been impacted by the restructuring include facilities in Carson, California; South Plainfield, New Jersey; Lyndhurst, New Jersey and Wilson, North Carolina.

The restructuring plan commenced in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and is expected to be completed in fiscal 2014. The restructuring has resulted in cumulative charges of $32,695 before tax, of which non-cash charges consist primarily of accelerated depreciation of approximately $12,588.
