Fiscal 2013 Fourth Quarter Restructuring Plan

During the fiscal year ended October 26, 2013, and the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company restructured certain business operations and reduced the Company’s operating expense structure. The restructuring plan was approved by the Company’s management and communicated to the Company’s employees in September 2013. The restructuring plan included a workforce reduction of approximately 250 employees, primarily in the engineering, sales, and marketing organizations, as well as the cancellation of certain nonrecurring engineering agreements and exits from certain leased facilities. The Company substantially completed the restructuring plan by the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.

The Company reevaluates its estimates and assumptions on a quarterly basis and makes adjustments to the restructuring liabilities balance if necessary. During the three months ended January 31, 2015, there were no adjustments made to the restructuring liabilities balance, as there were no changes in its estimates or assumptions.

The restructuring and other related charges are included in “Restructuring and other related costs” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Prior Restructuring Plans

Prior to fiscal year 2013, the Company also recorded charges related to estimated facilities lease losses, net of expected sublease income, due to consolidation of real estate space as a result of acquisitions.

Cash payments for facilities that are part of the Company’s lease loss reserve are expected to be paid over the respective lease terms through fiscal year 2021.
