f5-10k / GLM-5.3-flash-HTML		Board- and CEO-initiated project review began in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 (quarter ended 31 March 2025, reflected in announcement date) and drove exits primarily from clean energy projects. Charges comprise roughly $2.4 billion for three U.S. projects (Americas segment), about $755 million for smaller-scale global project exits, and $425 million for two China coal gasification plants being marketed for sale; primarily noncash asset write-downs and contract-termination costs. No employee counts disclosed for these exits. Review remains ongoing and may result in additional costs; held-for-sale asset sales expected in fiscal 2026.

f5-10k / GLM-5.3-flash-HTML		Headcount grew from roughly 16,300 at fiscal 2018 year-end to a peak near 23,000 in fiscal 2024; reduction actions have been underway since then and management expects headcount to stabilize at approximately 20,000 by the end of fiscal 2026 as projects are completed and the organization is right-sized. Encompasses the separately reported global cost reduction plan and project exits; no discrete employee count is attributable to this target, so no double-count of affected employees is implied.
