Summary of Restructuring Plans

Fiscal 2018 Plan

On June 30, 2017, management approved a post-Merger restructuring plan to optimize the Company's operations in response to a continuing business contraction (the "Fiscal 2018 Plan"). The additional restructuring initiatives are intended to reduce the company's core structure and related operating costs, improve its competitiveness, and facilitate the achievement of acceptable and sustainable profitability. The Fiscal 2018 Plan focuses mainly on optimizing specific aspects of global workforce, increasing the proportion of work performed in low cost offshore locations and re-balancing the pyramid structure. Additionally, this plan included global facility restructuring, including a global datacenter restructuring program.

Fiscal 2017 Plan

In May 2016, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to realign the Company's cost structure and resources to take advantage of operational efficiencies following recent acquisitions. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2017, the Company expanded the plan to strengthen the Company's competitiveness and to optimize the workforce by increasing work performed in low-cost locations (the "Fiscal 2017 Plan"). Total costs incurred to date under the Fiscal 2017 Plan total $238 million, comprising $233 million in employee severance and $5 million of facilities costs.

Fiscal 2016 Plan

In September 2015, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to optimize utilization of facilities and right-size overhead organizations as a result of CSC's separation of its former NPS segment (the "Fiscal 2016 Plan"). No additional costs are expected to be expensed under this plan. Total costs incurred to date as of June 30, 2017 under the Fiscal 2016 Plan total $59 million, comprising $26 million in employee severance and $33 million of facilities costs.

Fiscal 2015 Plan

In June 2014, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to optimize the workforce in high cost markets, particularly in Europe, address the Company's labor pyramid and right shore its labor mix (the "Fiscal 2015 Plan"). No additional costs are expected to be expensed under this plan. Total costs incurred to date under the Fiscal 2015 Plan total $228 million, comprising $220 million in employee severance and $8 million of facilities costs.

Acquired Restructuring Liabilities

As a result of the Merger, DXC acquired restructuring liabilities under restructuring plans that were initiated for HPES under plans approved by the HPE Board of Directors.
