On February 23, 2009, the Company announced that it will phase out 200mm wafer manufacturing operations at its Boise, Idaho, facility. This action will reduce employment at the Company's Idaho sites by approximately 500 employees in the near term and by as many as 2,000 positions by the end of the Company's fiscal year.
In connection with these activities, the Company will incur cash restructuring charges of approximately $50 million, comprised primarily of severance and other employee related costs. The Company expects to generate a gross annualized operating cash benefit of $150 million in connection with the phase out of its 200mm wafer manufacturing operations in Boise. The net operating cash flow effect is expected to be neutral for fiscal 2009.
