Signet Path to Brilliance Plan
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, Signet launched a three-year comprehensive transformation plan, the “Signet Path to Brilliance” plan (the “Plan”) to reposition the Company to be the OmniChannel jewelry category leader. The Plan was originally expected to result in pre-tax charges in the range of $200 million - $220 million over the duration of the plan of which $105 million - $115 million are expected to be cash charges. The Company is currently evaluating its initiatives under the Plan and is unable to estimate its future costs in light of the coronavirus outbreak (“COVID-19”) as further described in Note 29.
During Fiscal 2020, restructuring charges of $79.1 million were recognized, primarily related to store closure costs, severance costs, and professional fees for legal and consulting services. Plan liabilities of $10.7 million were recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Plan liabilities of $1.7 million were recorded within other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of February 1, 2020. Plan liabilities primarily represent store closure liabilities and consulting services.
Restructuring charges and other Plan related costs are classified in the consolidated statements of operations as follows:
