Southwestern Energy Co. (SWN) on Wednesday said it is reducing its workforce, resulting in a second-quarter pretax charge of $18 million to $19 million.

In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Spring, Texas, energy company said it expects the plan to be substantially implemented during the third quarter.

Southwestern's filing didn't disclose the number of jobs being cut, and a spokeswoman wasn't immediately available for comment.

The company said it is offering affected employees a severance package that includes a cash payment depending on length of service and, if applicable, current value of a portion of equity awards that will be forfeited.
