The Company commenced a restructuring initiative in 2015 within the Bruker BioSpin Group, which was developed as a result of a revenue decline that occurred during the second half of 2014 and continued during the first half of 2015. This initiative was intended to improve Bruker BioSpin Group’s operating results. Restructuring actions resulted in a reduction of employee headcount within the Bruker BioSpin Group of approximately 9%.

As of September 30, 2016, expenses incurred under this restructuring initiative were substantially complete. The Company commenced a restructuring initiative in 2016 to address lower demand in the Bruker CALID and Bruker Nano Groups as a result of weakness in European academic funding and ongoing weakness in several of the industrial end market segments that affect the Bruker Nano Group. This initiative is intended to improve the Bruker CALID and Bruker Nano Group operating results in response to these market conditions. Restructuring actions will result in a reduction of approximately 125 employees within the Bruker CALID and Bruker Nano Groups.
