Corporate Restructuring

9 Months Ended

Feb. 28, 2021

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business operations, we undertook a strategic restructuring of our corporate organization and workforce in order to reduce costs and better align corporate expenses to our sales levels in the current environment. The corporate restructuring included a voluntary early retirement incentive program and other involuntary strategic workforce reductions. In accordance with these actions, we incurred employee termination benefits costs and other costs of $47.8 million, including cash and non-cash components of $38.1 million and $9.7 million, respectively. These costs are reflected in general and administrative expenses and other (income) expense, net in our consolidated statements of earnings for the nine months ended February 28, 2021.

The following table summarizes the accrued employee termination benefits and other costs which are included in other current liabilities and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2021. We expect the remaining

liability to be paid by the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
