2014 Restructuring Plan
In October 2014, the Company implemented a restructuring plan designed to improve operating efficiencies. The plan involved a reduction of global headcount by approximately 6% and an alignment of its real estate footprint with its reduced headcount. In the first six months ended June 27, 2015, the Company recorded an $11 million restructuring charge, which consisted of $4 million for severance and related benefits and $7 million for facilities related costs. The Company expects the plan to be largely completed by the end of the third quarter of 2015.
The following table provides a summary of the restructuring activities in the first six months of 2015 and the related liabilities recorded in Accrued and other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 27, 2015:
Dense Server Systems Business Exit
As a part of the Company’s strategy to simplify and sharpen its investment focus, the Company decided to exit the dense server systems business, formerly SeaMicro, in the first quarter of 2015. As a result of the Company’s decision to exit this business, the Company recorded a charge of $76 million in Restructuring and other special charges, net on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations in the first six months of 2015. This charge consisted of an impairment charge of $62 million related to the acquired intangible assets. The Company concluded that the carrying value of the acquired intangible assets associated with its dense server systems business was fully impaired as the Company has no current plans to utilize the related freedom fabric technology in any of its future products nor does it have any plans at this time to monetize the associated intellectual property. In addition, the exit charge consisted of a $7 million non-cash charge related to asset impairments, $4 million of severance and related benefits and $3 million for contract or program termination costs. The Company expects to complete this exit activity by the end of the first quarter of 2016.
