Restructuring
Restructuring
The Company has recorded restructuring liabilities relating to various business growth and cost-savings initiatives. A description of the nature of significant restructuring activity and related costs is summarized below.
Rugby Closure Plan
In October 2012, the Company approved a plan to wind-down its Rugby brand retail operations (the “Rugby Closure Plan”). This decision was primarily based on the results of an analysis of the brand concept, as well as an opportunity for the Company to reallocate its resources related to these operations to support other high-growth business opportunities and initiatives. In connection with the Rugby Closure Plan, all of the Company's 14 global freestanding Rugby stores (certain of which have been converted to other Ralph Lauren brand concepts) and its related domestic e-commerce site located at Rugby.com have been closed as of September 28, 2013. The Rugby Closure Plan also resulted in a reduction in workforce of approximately 160 employees.
In connection with the Rugby Closure Plan, the Company recorded $7 million in restructuring charges during Fiscal 2013, $4 million of which remained payable as of March 30, 2013. There were no additional restructuring charges recognized by the Company in connection with the Rugby Closure Plan during the six months ended September 28, 2013. During the six months ended September 28, 2013, the Company paid $2 million under this plan, which reduced the remaining restructuring liability at September 28, 2013 to $2 million, which is expected to be settled during the second half of Fiscal 2014.
