Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

2013 Restructuring Plan

In order to achieve cost efficiencies and realign our resources and operations, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan initiated by management during the third quarter of fiscal year 2013 (the "2013 Restructuring Plan"). The restructuring charges are primarily intended to increase efficiencies and reduce redundancies, including those arising from recent acquisitions. The total restructuring costs associated with the 2013 Restructuring Plan are estimated to be $14.0 million. Changes in estimates, if any, will be reflected in our future results of operations. We expect to fulfill most of the obligations associated with this restructuring by the end of fiscal year 2014.

The following is a summary of activities in accrued restructuring costs for the six months ended May 31, 2014 under the 2013 restructuring plan (in thousands):
