In the fourth quarter of 2016, we initiated a restructure plan in response to business conditions and the need to accelerate focus on our key priorities (the "2016 Restructuring Plan"). The 2016 Restructuring Plan includes the elimination of certain projects and programs, the permanent closure of a number of open headcount requisitions, workforce reductions in certain areas of the business, and other non-headcount related spending reductions. In connection with the plan, we incurred charges of $29 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $58 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 and do not expect to incur additional material charges. As of December 1, 2016 and September 1, 2016, we had accrued liabilities of $17 million and $24 million, respectively, related to the 2016 Restructuring Plan. For the first quarter of 2017, the restructure and asset impairment charges related primarily to our CNBU and MBU operating segments.
