SUBSEQUENT EVENT

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 21, 2011, we announced our intention to restructure our operations in Breisach, Germany. The restructuring will reduce our manufacturing footprint by consolidating prototype and production functions and centralizing outsourced production control in our Minneapolis production facility. The consolidation is driven by our strategy of driving efficiency improvements and enhancing customer service globally through more centralized operations. As a result of the restructuring, we expect to reduce the size of our workforce in Breisach by approximately 25 employees. In connection with the restructuring, we expect to incur approximately $600,000 — $700,000 of restructuring charges on a pre-tax basis. These charges will be incurred in connection with reductions in the workforce. The significant majority of the expected restructuring charges associated with this initiative represent cash paid for severance. The charges associated with the restructuring are expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The payments are expected to be completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
