Continuous Computing Related Restructuring

In the second quarter of 2011, the Company initiated a restructuring plan associated with the acquisition of Continuous Computing. The plan included the identification of 117 positions at various locations that will be eliminated. The primary intent of these integration activities was to eliminate the staffing redundancies that resulted from the Company's acquisition of Continuous Computing. In addition, these integration activities align with the Company's corporate objective to transfer a significant portion of its research and development activities to lower cost geographies. To date, under this plan, the Company has incurred restructuring costs of $5.9 million, which consisted of severance and related payroll costs as well as healthcare benefits and legal fees. The Company expects additional charges associated with the restructuring plan to be substantially complete by the third quarter of 2012.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, under the Continuous Computing restructuring plan, the Company recorded net expense of $0.9 million for the severance of a named executive officer and various other employees, net of the reduction resulting from the re-assignment of employees initially included in the plan and changes in previously estimated amounts for employee severance and associated payroll costs.
