Summary
Applied Materials announced a global round of workforce reductions affecting more than 1,400 employees worldwide and plans to cut about 100 positions at its development and manufacturing center in Rehovot, Israel. The company said the move is intended to make its structure "more competitive and efficient," and follows stricter export controls on its inspection machines to China. The global reductions represent roughly 4% of the company's workforce (reported in the article with an erroneous-looking total), and Applied Materials estimated the severance cost at $160–180 million. The announcement was made in a notification to Nasdaq at the end of the company's fiscal year; the article does not provide a specific effective date for the cuts in Israel.
