The moves are expected to be complete in the second half of 2009. Cadence said it will record a $48 million restructuring charge in the third quarter and incur total pretax restructuring expenses of $65 million to $70 million.

The expected cuts also will include a "substantial" number of contractors and consultants.

San Jose, Calif.-based Cadence in June offered to buy Mentor Graphics for $16 per share, or about $1.45 billion, but withdrew the offer in August. Last month shares tumbled after the company delayed its third quarter earnings pending a review of its first quarter, which it said would likely lead to a restatement.

Shares fell 61 cents, or 12.3 percent, to close at $4.34 on Wednesday.
