Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On March 16, 2012, the Board of Directors of Silicon Graphics International Corp. (the “Company”) approved a restructuring action to reduce approximately 25% of the Company's European workforce and close certain legal entities and offices in Europe. The Company implemented the restructuring action to streamline operations and reduce operating expenses in Europe.
In connection with the restructuring action, the Company expects to incur pre-tax cash charges between $14.0 million and $17.0 million, which consist of pre-tax cash charges between $13.0 million and $16.0 million for employee termination benefits, and up to $1.0 million for the planned office and legal entity closures, which expenses include contract termination costs and other associated costs. The Company expects to recognize the majority of the expense associated with the employee termination benefits prior to the third quarter of fiscal 2013. The closure of offices and legal entities are expected to take up to 18 months and the related expenses are expected to be recognized over that period of time. Upon completion of the restructuring action, the Company expects to realize annualized savings of approximately $7.5 million in the aggregate from the restructuring action.
