Restructuring Plans

In implementing the Plans, the Company currently expects to incur pre-tax costs of approximately $85,000 to $90,000 for severance and related employee costs globally, and other restructuring costs related to the streamlining of processes and the payment of anticipated income taxes in certain jurisdictions related to the Plans.
