The purpose of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A is to amend the Current Report on Form 8-K of Logitech International S.A. (Logitech or the Company), filed on January 7, 2009, which described a planned restructuring to reduce Logitechs global salaried workforce. On January 19, 2009 Logitech issued a press release that included further details on the restructuring, as follows:
Restructuring
In addition to ongoing actions to reduce operating expenses, Logitech has initiated a restructuring that is expected to reduce the Companys global salaried workforce by between 550 and 600 employees. This plan is expected to generate annual cost savings beginning in Fiscal Year 2010 of approximately $50 million. As a result of the restructuring, the Company expects to incur a total charge of approximately $20-24 million over the next twelve months, of which approximately $16-18 million is expected to be incurred during the fourth quarter of FY 2009.
In addition, of the total charges, Logitech anticipates approximately $14 million to $16 million would be for one-time cash severance charges, $4 million to $5 million would be for facilities-related charges that are largely cash costs, and $2 million to $3 million would be for non-cash inventory and asset impairment costs.
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements, including the statements regarding the expected restructuring charges, costs and cost savings, including the timing of such savings, and the expected size of the salaried workforce reduction. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause Logitechs actual results to differ materially from that anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: Logitechs ability to implement the workforce reductions in various geographies; possible changes in the size and components of the expected costs and charges; as well as those additional factors set forth in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008, available at www.sec.gov. Logitech does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements.
