Restructuring Charges

Dongguan facility closure

In September 2019, the Company announced it plans to close its Dongguan manufacturing facility in China, concurrent with the expiration of the facility lease in December 2019, which was extended to February 2020. The closure was formally approved by the Board of Directors in September 2019.  A restructuring charge of $5,000 was recorded in the twelve months ended December 29, 2019 relating to the announced planned closure. The closure of the Dongguan facility resulted in a reduced labor force by approximately 137 employees. The employee group was notified of the closure in the last week of September 2019. The closure of the Dongguan facility and majority of the cash outflows associated with the $2,037 included within the restructuring liability was for severance and other exit costs which was substantially completed by the end of the first quarter of 2020. During the six months ended June 28, 2020, restructuring recoveries were recorded of $346 primarily related to shipments and cash payments received on previously provisioned Dongguan inventory Remaining activities include a small number of support staff performing administrative duties, professional services to be rendered with respect to the closure activities, taxes and duties to be settled in addition to severance payments.  Substantially all of the costs are anticipated to be spent by the third quarter of 2020.  Manufacturing by the Company of certain products previously manufactured at the Dongguan facility has been transferred to the Company’s other manufacturing facilities. A restructuring charge of $5,000 was recorded in the twelve months ended December 29, 2019 relating to the announced planned closure.
