COVID-19 Restructuring Plan
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we made a strategic decision to move towards a significant work from home model. We began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations and significantly reduce our real estate footprint around the world (COVID-19 Restructuring Plan). The COVID-19 Restructuring Plan charges relate to workforce reductions and facility costs, including the accelerated amortization associated with the abandonment of ROU assets, the write-off of fixed assets and other related variable lease and exit costs. Currently, with respect to the COVID-19 Restructuring Plan we have assumed there will be no sublease income from vacated facilities. These charges require management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.
As of September 30, 2020, we expect total costs to be incurred in connection with the COVID-19 Restructuring Plan to be approximately $62 million to $75 million, of which $57.2 million has been recorded within "Special charges (recoveries)" to date.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending restructuring liability, which is included within "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 is shown below.

Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan
During Fiscal 2020, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan), including in connection with our acquisitions of Carbonite and XMedius, to take further steps to improve our operational efficiency. The Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan charges relate to workforce reductions and facility costs, including the accelerated amortization associated with the abandonment of ROU assets, the write-off of fixed assets and other related variable lease and exit costs. These charges require management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.
As of September 30, 2020, we expect total costs to be incurred in connection with the Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan to be approximately $36 million to $44 million, of which $35.4 million has been recorded within "Special charges (recoveries)" to date.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending restructuring liability, which is included within "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 is shown below.
