Item 2.05.  Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On June 26, 2014, ANADIGICS, Inc. (the “Company”) announced a restructuring plan to lower its operating costs and better align resources to address growth opportunities in rapidly expanding infrastructure markets.  The plan includes expanding the Company’s presence in the infrastructure space and reducing the fixed costs associated with the legacy mobile business through a resizing of the Company’s staff and manufacturing capability.  The plan is currently anticipated to be complete by the end of 2014.

In connection with the plan, a workforce reduction will eliminate approximately 140 positions throughout the Company or approximately 30%.  The Company expects to record a restructuring charge totaling approximately $7.3 million, comprised of a cash workforce restructuring charge of approximately $2.3 million and a non-cash charge of approximately $5.0 million for fixed asset and inventory write downs.  The restructuring charge is expected to be expensed in the second and third quarters of 2014.  The Company expects approximately $2.3 million of the total charge to be in the form of cash expenditures, substantially all of which is expected to be paid out in the third quarter of 2014.  The Company expects the changes, when completed, to result in annualized operating cost savings of approximately $15.0 million, comprised of approximately $5.0 million through a decrease of manufacturing costs and approximately $10.0 million through a decrease in operating costs.

A copy of the press release announcing the plan is provided as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report, and is incorporated into this item by reference.
