RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
In Q1 2014, we announced restructuring actions in EMEA to improve our global competitiveness by reorganizing the sales, marketing and support functions in France. We currently estimate the cash restructuring costs associated with these actions will be approximately $5, with approximately $4 related to employee termination costs and approximately $1 of business exit and other related costs. We incurred $1.8 of employee termination costs and $0.3 of business exit and other related costs in the EMEA segment during the three months ended May 24, 2013.
In Q2 2013, we announced plans to integrate PolyVision's global technology business into the Steelcase Education Solutions group. We incurred $0.9 of business exit and other related costs in the Americas segment during the three months ended May 24, 2013. These restructuring actions are now substantially complete.
Restructuring costs are summarized in the following table:
