Cumulative headcount reductions reached 4,807 by end of 1999 (original estimate 4,907). The 101 employees affected in 1999 is derived from the increase in cumulative headcount reductions from 4,706 (implied from prior year activity not explicitly stated as cumulative in text, but text says cumulative as of 1998 was 3,986 and 1999 was 4,807. Wait, text says: 'Cumulative headcount reductions as of 1997, 1998 and 1999 were 3,133, 3,986 and 4,807, respectively.' Therefore, 1999 activity = 4,807 - 3,986 = 821 employees. Let me re-read carefully. 'In total, the headcount reductions resulting from the restructuring projects will total 4,907. The cumulative headcount reductions as of 1997, 1998 and 1999 were 3,133, 3,986 and 4,807, respectively.' So 1999 reductions = 4,807 - 3,986 = 821. The charge was $34.2 million.
