2012 Restructuring

In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, in furtherance of the Plan, our management approved, committed to and initiated certain operational restructuring initiatives to reduce annual costs, including the simplification of our organizational structure and the consolidation of facilities. In addition, as part of the Plan, we intend to divest our non-Core product lines. Our restructuring actions include both our cost reduction efforts and qualifying costs associated with our divestitures.

Restructuring expenses primarily relate to employee costs, including severance, health benefits, outplacement services and transition divestiture incentives, but excluding stock-based compensation. Facilities costs include fees to terminate lease agreements and costs for unused space, net of sublease assumptions. Other costs include costs to terminate automobile leases of employees included in the workforce reduction, asset impairment charges for assets no longer deployed as part of cost reduction strategies, costs for unused software licenses as part of the workforce reduction and other costs directly associated with the restructuring actions taken.

As part of the 2012 restructuring, we incurred expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 totaling $8.5 million, of which $1.5 million represents excess facilities and other costs and $7.0 million represents employee severances and related benefits. The expenses are recorded as restructuring expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. We expect to incur additional costs through the remainder of fiscal 2012 and the first half of fiscal 2013. The total cost of the 2012 restructuring is expected to be approximately $3.5 million for excess facilities and other costs and approximately $16.0 million for employee severance and related benefits.

A summary of activity for the 2012 restructuring actions is as follows (in thousands):

Cash disbursements under the 2012 restructuring are expected to be made through the first three quarters of fiscal 2013. The short-term portion of the restructuring reserve of $6.8 million is included in other accrued liabilities and the long-term portion of $0.2 million is included in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2012.

2010 Restructuring

During the first and third quarters of fiscal 2010, our management approved, committed to and initiated plans to restructure and improve efficiencies in our operations as a result of certain management and organizational changes and acquisitions. We reduced our global workforce primarily within the development, sales and administrative organizations. This workforce reduction was conducted across all geographies and also resulted in a consolidation of offices in certain locations. The total costs of the fiscal 2010 restructurings primarily relate to employee severance and excess facilities expenses. The excess facilities and other costs represent facilities costs for unused space and termination costs for automobile leases of employees included in the workforce reduction.

As part of the 2010 restructuring activities, we recorded cumulative expenses totaling $44.6 million, of which $9.3 million represents excess facilities and other costs and $35.3 million represents employee severances and related benefits. There were no charges to restructuring expense in the first six months of fiscal 2012 related to the 2010 activities and we do not expect to incur additional expenses related to these activities. The expenses are recorded as restructuring expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
