On February 7, 2025, we initiated a strategy-driven restructuring plan in furtherance of our ongoing program to improve operating performance. The restructuring plan primarily impacts our operations in the United States and includes the elimination of certain positions, the consolidation of certain functions, and the relocation of certain
operations to lower cost locations. The restructuring plan is expected to eliminate a total of approximately 5% of our workforce. We anticipate the restructuring plan will be substantially completed by the end of fiscal year 2025.
We estimate that as a result of this restructuring plan we will incur between approximately $45 million and $50 million in total cost, which we anticipate will consist primarily of one-time termination benefits to the affected employees, including cash severance payments, healthcare benefits, and related transition assistance. We anticipate that we will record approximately $30 million to $35 million of the charges related to this restructuring plan in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 with the balance expected to be recorded by the end of fiscal year 2025.

The amounts are preliminary estimates based on the information currently available to management. It is possible that additional charges and future cash payments could occur in relation to the restructuring actions.

On February 13, 2025, the Company entered a binding offer to purchase all equity interests in Stilla Technologies (“Stilla”) for approximately $225 million in cash, as well as potential future contingent milestone payments for a maximum amount of up to $50 million. The acquisition remains subject to consultation with relevant employee representatives, regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions, and is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2025. With operations in France and the U.S., Stilla develops and markets next-generation digital PCR instruments, consumables, and assays. Stilla’s Nio® family of all-in-one digital PCR systems aids the development of a wide range of genetic tests and molecular assays across multiple applications.
