Includes net charges associated with discontinued operations of $36 million in fiscal 2014.

Fiscal 2016 Actions

        During fiscal 2016, we initiated a restructuring program associated with headcount reductions impacting all segments and product line closures in the Communications Solutions segment. In connection with this program, during fiscal 2016, we recorded restructuring charges of $130 million. We expect to complete all restructuring actions commenced during fiscal 2016 by the end of fiscal 2019 and to incur total charges of approximately $171 million with remaining charges related primarily to employee severance.

        The following table summarizes expected, incurred, and remaining charges for the fiscal 2016 program by segment:

Fiscal 2015 Actions

        During fiscal 2015, we initiated a restructuring program associated with headcount reductions and product line closures, primarily impacting the Communications Solutions and Industrial Solutions segments. In connection with this program, during fiscal 2016 and 2015, we recorded net restructuring credits of $1 million and charges of $92 million, respectively. We do not expect to incur any additional charges related to restructuring programs commenced in fiscal 2015.

Fiscal 2014 Actions

        During fiscal 2014, we initiated a restructuring program associated primarily with headcount reductions and manufacturing site and product line closures in the Communications Solutions segment. In connection with this program, we recorded net restructuring charges of $19 million in fiscal 2014. We do not expect to incur any additional charges related to restructuring programs commenced in fiscal 2014.

Pre-Fiscal 2014 Actions

        During fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, we recorded net restructuring credits of $4 million, charges of $1 million, and charges of $4 million, respectively, related to pre-fiscal 2014 actions. We do not expect to incur any additional charges related to pre-fiscal 2014 actions.

Gain on Divestiture

        During fiscal 2016, we sold our Circuit Protection Devices ("CPD") business for net cash proceeds of $333 million. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $144 million on the transaction. The CPD business was reported in our Communications Solutions segment.

Other Charges (Credits), Net

        During fiscal 2016, we incurred costs of $21 million, associated primarily with the divestiture of certain businesses.

        During fiscal 2015, in connection with the sale our Broadband Network Solutions ("BNS") business, we incurred costs of $61 million, consisting primarily of $36 million of legal and professional fees and $18 million of charges associated with the exit of a facility. These amounts are not directly related to the business sold, and accordingly have been recorded in continuing operations. See Note 4 for additional information regarding the divestiture of BNS.
