Note 7 – Restructuring and Related Activities

The Company’s management approved a global restructuring plan (the “QH Program”) as part of its plan to realize certain cost

synergies associated with the Combination in the third quarter of 2019. The QH Program includes restructuring and associated

severance costs to reduce total headcount by approximately 400 people globally, as well as plans for the closure of certain

manufacturing and non-manufacturing facilities. The exact timing and total costs associated with the QH Program will depend on a

number of factors and is subject to change; however, the Company currently expects reduction in headcount and site closures to

continue to occur throughout 2021 and into 2022 under the QH Program and estimates that anticipated cost synergies realized from the

QH Program will approximate one-times the restructuring costs incurred. Employee separation benefits will vary depending on local

regulations within certain foreign countries and will include severance and other benefits.

All costs incurred to date relate to severance costs to reduce headcount, including customary and routine adjustments to initial

estimates for employee separation costs, as well as costs to close certain facilities and are recorded in Restructuring and related

charges in the Company’s Condensed Statements of Operations. As described in Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated

Financial Statements, restructuring and related charges are not included in the Company’s calculation of reportable segments’ measure

of operating earnings and therefore these costs are not reviewed by or recorded to reportable segments.
