(the "Company") authorized a proposal to restructure the operations and reduce the workforce of Neltec Europe SAS, the Company's electronic materials business unit located in Mirebeau, France, and authorized the commencement of a consultation process with the employees of Neltec Europe SAS regarding the proposed restructuring and workforce reduction in accordance with French law. The proposed restructuring and workforce reduction are in response to the continuing erosion of the markets for electronic materials in Europe and the continuing migration of such markets to Asia. If the proposed restructuring and workforce reduction are implemented, the Company would expect to record a one-time charge of approximately $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year ending March 2, 2008. The Company expects Neltec Europe SAS to continue to support all of its existing customers if the proposed restructuring is implemented. The proposed restructuring plan does not contemplate the loss of any business by Neltec Europe SAS. The proposed restructuring will not affect the Company's Neltec SA business unit located in Lannemezan, France. The Company issued a news release on August 29, 2007 announcing the proposed restructuring. A copy of such news release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
