RESTRUCTURING

2012 Restructuring

On April 26, 2012, we announced our intention to restructure certain of our operations. The restructuring relates primarily to changes being implemented to focus on a shift in our business to more aggressively sell end-to-end M2M solutions. As a result of this restructuring, we eliminated employment positions in our work force and have moved to hire new employees or re-assign existing employees into newly created positions. We recorded $1.0 million of restructuring charges on a pre-tax basis. These charges were incurred in connection with reductions in force of 30 employees and represented severance of $0.6 million and expenses from vacating facilities in Davis, California and Huntington Beach, California of approximately $0.4 million. The payments associated with these charges and all the actions associated with the restructuring are expected to be completed by the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

The consolidation was driven by our strategy of driving efficiency improvements and enhancing customer service globally through more centralized operations.

The lease on the Breisach facility ends in July 2013.
