Restructuring Charges
During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company implemented a global cost reduction and restructuring plan to better align its global cost and organizational structure with its current strategic initiatives. This plan included the consolidation and streamlining of the Company’s business processes and a reduction in its global workforce and other expenses. These actions resulted in restructuring charges related primarily to cash-based severance costs of $6.1 million during fiscal 2017. There were no restructuring charges incurred during fiscal 2018. The Company does not expect significant future cash-based severance charges to be incurred under this plan as the actions were completed during fiscal 2017. As of February 3, 2018, there were no amounts included in accrued expenses related to these restructuring activities as the Company completed payments for the remaining anticipated costs during fiscal 2018. At January 28, 2017, the Company had a balance of approximately $0.2 million in accrued expenses related to these restructuring activities.
The following table summarizes restructuring activities related primarily to severance during fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018 (in thousands):

During fiscal 2017, the Company also incurred an estimated exit tax charge of approximately $1.9 million related to its reorganization in Europe as a result of the global cost reduction and restructuring plan. The exit tax charge has not been finalized with the local authorities and actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates as negotiations are completed.
