Cost Re-engineering Plan
Note 3 - Cost Re-Engineering Plan

In February 2019, we announced our intention to execute cost re-engineering opportunities in order to drive stronger financial performance and, in the longer term, simplify our operations. Our cost re-engineering plans extend beyond eliminating redundant costs through the integration process and address organizational, process and control redesign and automation, human capital planning, off-shore utilization, strategic sourcing and facilities rationalization. Costs estimated for this plan include severance, retention and other incentive awards, facilities-related costs and other costs to execute the reorganization.
The following is a summary of expenses incurred to-date, including an estimate of remaining and total plan costs:
