Restructuring and Other Charges
In August 2016, the Company announced a restructuring plan (the "Fiscal 2017 Plan") in order to reinvest in its key priority areas in which up to 5,500 employees would be impacted, with estimated pretax charges of approximately $700 million. In May 2017, the Company extended the Fiscal 2017 Plan to include an additional 1,100 employees with $150 million of estimated additional pretax charges. The Company's estimated aggregate pretax charges of approximately $850 million under the Fiscal 2017 Plan consist primarily of severance and other one-time termination benefits, and other associated costs. These charges are primarily cash-based, and the Company expects the Fiscal 2017 Plan to be substantially completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company has incurred net charges of $70 million and $17 million for the three months ended April 29, 2017 and April 30, 2016, respectively, and $614 million and $253 million, net of a $2 million credit to cost of sales for the nine months ended April 29, 2017 and April 30, 2016, respectively.
In connection with a restructuring action announced in August 2014 (the “Fiscal 2015 Plan”), the Company incurred cumulative charges of approximately $756 million. The Company completed the Fiscal 2015 Plan in fiscal 2016.
