The restructuring plan aims to achieve approximately $14 milliona in annual operating expense savings through workforce and other expense reductions, affecting about 2% of full-time positions.

Cadence recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $13 millionb in Q4 2010 and anticipates an additional $1 million to $2 million in Q1 2011, largely for employee-related and facility costs.
