Acquisition-related Costs

During the six months ended May 31, 2014, we recorded approximately $1.0 million of direct and incremental costs associated with acquisition-related activities, including severance, lease abandonments, and professional fees. Approximately $0.7 million of the total charge was recorded in the Americas segment and $0.3 million was recorded in the EMEA segment.

As of May 31, 2014, approximately $1.0 million of the remaining acquisition-related costs accrued liability was in the Americas segment and $1.5 million was in the EMEA segment. We expect that the remaining liability will be substantially paid in 2014.
