In accordance with General Instruction B.2. of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K furnished pursuant to Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 2.05  Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On July 20, 2011, the Company announced plans for a workforce reduction of up to 500 employees. This action was approved on July 20, 2011 and is a continuation of the work the Company has been doing to optimize its business by reallocating resources from non-strategic areas to growth areas and divesting non-strategic areas of the business. The workforce reduction is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2012. In connection with this action, the Company expects to incur a GAAP and non-GAAP charge of approximately $35 million to $45 million in severance costs in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The cash expenditures resulting from the charge are expected to be approximately $35 to $45 million, the majority of which are expected to be incurred by the Company during fiscal 2012.
