2015 Restructuring

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, we restructured our operations in connection with the acquisition of Telerik. This restructuring resulted in a reduction in redundant positions primarily within the administrative functions. This restructuring also resulted in the closing of a facility.

Restructuring expenses are related to employee costs, including severance, health benefits and outplacement services (but excluding stock-based compensation), and facilities costs, which include fees to terminate lease agreements and costs for unused space, net of sublease assumptions.

As part of the 2015 restructuring, for the three months ended February 28, 2015, we incurred expenses of $1.0 million. The expenses are recorded as restructuring expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As we continue to evaluate the combined entities, we may incur additional costs with respect to the 2015 restructuring, including excess facilities and other costs as well as asset impairment charges for assets no longer deployed as a result of the acquisition.

A summary of activity for the 2015 restructuring action is as follows (in thousands):

Cash disbursements for expenses incurred to date under the 2015 restructuring are expected to be made through the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. As a result, the total amount of the restructuring reserve of $0.5 million is included in other accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at February 28, 2015.

2014 Restructuring

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, our management approved, committed to and initiated plans to make strategic changes to our organization to provide greater focus and agility in the delivery of next generation application development, deployment and integration solutions. Effective September 1, 2014, we began to operate as three distinct business units: OpenEdge, Application Development and Deployment, and Data Connectivity and Integration, each with dedicated sales, product management and product marketing functions. In connection with the new organizational structure, we eliminated the position of global head of sales, as well as certain other positions within the sales and administrative organizations.

As part of the 2014 restructuring, for the three months ended February 28, 2015, we incurred expenses of $1.4 million, which are related to employee costs, including severance, health benefits, and outplacement services, but excluding stock-based compensation, and facilities costs, which include fees to terminate lease agreements and costs for unused space, net of sublease assumptions. The expenses are recorded as restructuring expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We do not expect to incur additional material costs with respect to the 2014 restructuring.

2013 and 2012 Restructurings

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, our management approved, committed to and initiated plans to restructure and improve efficiencies in our operations as a result of the sale of the Apama product line and the divestitures completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. We reduced our global workforce primarily within the administrative and sales organizations. This workforce reduction was conducted across all geographies and also resulted in the closing of certain facilities.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, 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 strategic plan announced during fiscal year 2012, we divested the product lines not considered core to our business. Our restructuring actions included both cost reduction efforts and qualifying costs associated with our divestitures.

Restructuring expenses for both restructurings related to employee costs, including severance, health benefits, outplacement services and transition divestiture arrangements (but excluding stock-based compensation), and facilities costs, which 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 2013 and 2012 restructuring actions, for the three months ended February 28, 2015, we did not incur any expenses, and for the three months ended February 28, 2014, we incurred expenses of $0.2 million. The expenses are recorded as restructuring expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We do not expect to incur additional material costs with respect to the 2013 and 2012 restructuring actions.
