Q1 FY20 Plan

On October 28, 2019, the Company adopted a Company-wide restructuring plan ("Q1 FY20 Plan").

As of April 3, 2021, the Company had incurred restructuring charges of approximately $29 million, consisting primarily of severance costs, under the Q1 FY20 Plan. Headcount reductions are expected to occur through the fourth quarter of 2021 and cash payments of severance are expected to occur through the end of calendar 2021.

Other Plans

Other plans include a number of plans for which costs are not expected to be material individually or in the aggregate.

The Company’s Integrated Manufacturing Solutions ("IMS") segment incurred costs of $9 million for each of the six months ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020. The Company’s CPS segment incurred costs of $4 million and $6 million for the six months ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020, respectively.
