Fiscal 2013 Oracle Restructuring Plan

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, our management approved, committed to and initiated plans to restructure and further improve efficiencies in our Oracle-based operations (the 2013 Restructuring Plan). The total estimated restructuring costs associated with the 2013 Restructuring Plan are $297 million and will be recorded to the restructuring expense line item within our consolidated statements of operations as they are incurred. We recorded $249 million of restructuring expenses in connection with the 2013 Restructuring Plan in the first half of fiscal 2013 and we expect to incur the majority of the estimated remaining $48 million through fiscal 2014. Any changes to the estimates of executing the 2013 Restructuring Plan will be reflected in our future results of operations.
