Restructuring Plans

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2012

Printed Products segment

Following a strategic review of our global instant lottery tickets business, we commenced a reorganization plan on April 18, 2012 to cease all printing and finishing activities at our Australia facility, and during the second half of 2012 we migrated printing for customers in this region to our other manufacturing facilities. We recorded approximately $5,900 of employee termination and other restructuring costs associated with the reorganization for the year ended December 31, 2012. Other restructuring costs include approximately $1,300 resulting from vacating our facility. In addition, we recorded approximately $3,400 of accelerated depreciation for equipment related to this reorganization. We do not expect to incur additional material costs or accelerated depreciation related to this reorganization.

Gaming segment

In January 2012, following a comprehensive strategic review, we announced our exit from the Barcrest analog terminal business in order to focus our game design and other resources solely on our digital server-based supply model. We also reorganized our pub business in an effort to more effectively capitalize on the Barcrest acquisition. In 2012, we recorded approximately $5,700 of employee termination and restructuring costs associated with the reorganization. Other restructuring costs include approximately $1,400 resulting from vacating facilities. We do not expect to incur additional material costs or accelerated depreciation related to this reorganization. We continue to review strategic alternatives for our pub business.

A summary of the employee termination and other restructuring costs recognized for the year ended December 31, 2012 is set forth below:



	Employee termination costs			Other restructuring costs			Total
Balance as of December 31, 2011	$	—		$	—		$	—
Restructuring costs additions	7,488			4,014			11,502
Cash Payments	(6,454		)	(1,573		)	(8,027		)
Balance as of December 31, 2012	$	1,034		$	2,441		$	3,475

Employee termination and restructuring costs of approximately $2,000 and $600 recorded in 2011 and 2010, respectively, were a result of our cost reduction initiatives related to the migration by the Global Draw Limited ("Global Draw"), our subsidiary, to a new back-end technology platform and the integration of Barcrest into our Gaming business.
