Item 2.05

 

Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities.

 

On February 15, 2013, the Board of Directors of Intersil Corporation (the "Company") approved a restructuring plan to prioritize the Company’s sales and development efforts, strengthen financial performance and improve cash flow.

 

The restructuring plan includes a reduction of approximately 18% of Intersil’s worldwide workforce and a reduction of approximately $30 million in annual operating expenses. The Company expects to recognize restructuring-related charges of approximately $15 million, consisting primarily of employee severance benefits, during the first quarter of 2013.

 

The amount of the restructuring charges is an estimate, and the actual charges may vary materially based on various factors including, but not limited to, the extent of a reduction in force and changes in management's assumptions.
