August Fiscal 2014 Plan In August 2013 the Company announced a workforce reduction plan. The Company is rebalancing its resources with a workforce reduction plan that will impact approximately 4,000 employees, or 5%, of the Company’s global workforce. This workforce reduction plan is designed to enable the Company to rebalance its workforce in order to reinvest in key growth areas such as the cloud, data center, mobility, services, software and security and to drive operational efficiencies. As the Company intends to reinvest in the above areas, it does not expect significant overall cost savings as a result of this rebalancing of its resources. In connection with this restructuring action, the Company incurred cumulative charges of $237 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The Company expects total pre-tax charges pursuant to these restructuring actions of approximately $550 million and it expects the remaining charges to be incurred though the end of fiscal 2014. The following table summarizes the activities related to the restructuring and other charges pursuant to the August Fiscal 2014 Plan (in millions):

Fiscal 2011 Plans The Fiscal 2011 Plans consist primarily of the realignment and restructuring of the Company’s business announced in July 2011 and of certain consumer product lines as announced during April 2011. The Company has completed the Fiscal 2011 Plans and does not expect any remaining charges related to these actions. The Company incurred cumulative charges of approximately $1.1 billion in connection with these plans. There were no charges incurred during the three months ended October 26, 2013 in connection with these plans. For the three months ended October 27, 2012, such charges were $59 million. The remaining liability balance as of October 26, 2013 was $22 million inclusive of severance and non-severance activities.
