Item 2.05
|
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
|
On January 9, 2009, we determined to reduce our employee workforce by 17% worldwide, or by 53 employees, in accordance with our initiatives to reduce costs and restructure our workforce. These reductions were in addition to the
reduction of 11 employees in December 2008. Severance costs related to the terminated employees are estimated to be $730,000 and will be recorded and paid in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.
Item 5.02
|
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
|
On January 9, 2009, we implemented an across-the-board pay cut of 10% for all of our salaried employees, including each of our executive officers
(Vernon A. LoForti, Kurt L. Kalbfleisch, W. Michael Gawarecki and Ravi Pendakanti). We anticipate this pay cut will remain in effect until the company improves its performance and achieves profitability. Other benefits to the executive officers
based on base salary, including under their retention agreements, will not be affected by this reduction.
Our compensation committee is
considering implementing a salary recapture plan through which each employee may earn a bonus equal to or exceeding the foregone salary depending on company performance.
This Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements that reflect managements current views of future events, including statements regarding the Companys plans regarding the across-the-board pay cut and
the salary recapture plan. Actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements due to a number of important factors, including, but not limited to, the risks affecting the Company that are detailed from time to time in the
Companys periodic reports filed with the SEC. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of filing of this Form 8-K and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect new
information, events or circumstances after the date of filing of this Form 8-K.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report on Form 8-K to be signed on its behalf by
the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
