On January 6, 2017, the Chairman and CEO and the Corporate Vice President and Interim CFO of PAREXEL International Corporation (the “Company”) approved a plan to restructure its operations to improve the productivity and efficiency of the company, simplify the organization, and streamline decision-making, thereby enhancing client engagement. The restructuring initiative is company-wide. These actions are expected to result in pre-tax charges in the range of $25 million to $35 million, all of which are anticipated to be cash expenditures. The Company expects to record a pre-tax charge in the third quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017 (“Fiscal Year 2017”) in the range of $20 million to $27 million, with the remainder of the charges to be incurred by the end of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 (“Fiscal Year 2018”).

The Company anticipates completing restructuring activities by the end of Fiscal Year 2018, and expects the charges to result in annual pre-tax savings of approximately $7 million to $10 million over the course of Fiscal Year 2017 and approximately $30 million to $40 million on an annualized basis when fully completed.
