The restructuring program has been expanded to $95M-$115M in total costs, aiming for up to $90M in annual savings. Adding legal overhang, a securities class action and derivative lawsuit have been filed, while a TRA dispute could require an additional $40M payment. The compensation package for new CFO Stephen Lasher is also detailed, including a $1.8M cash make-whole payment.
