On December 31, 2012 the Board of Directors of the Company reviewed and approved the implementation of a cost reduction plan.

In support of the plan, the Company is taking the following actions in order to reduce operating costs and realign its organization in the current competitive operating environment:
• | Consolidating specific global administrative and line functions into our facility in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina; |
• | Eliminating several management staff positions across the Company; |
• | Reducing real-estate costs by focusing on our key company locations in California and North Carolina; and |
• | Integrating key parts of our Data Center and Alliances sales teams under a single sales leadership structure. |
As of the date of the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company has initiated the implementation of the plan and expects to complete it by September 30, 2013. The Company anticipates incurring restructuring charges of approximately $5.5 million to $7.0 million in its second fiscal 2013 quarter for non-recurring employee-related termination benefits related to this action, including severance payments and continuation of medical insurance benefits. Primarily all of these charges will result in cash expenditures.
