Restructuring Charges [Abstract]

Restructuring and Other Charges

Restructuring and Other Charges

In August 2016, the Company announced a restructuring plan (the "Fiscal 2017 Plan") that will impact up to 5,500 employees, representing approximately 7% of its global workforce. The Company's aggregate pretax estimated charges pursuant to the restructuring plan are expected to be up to $700 million, consisting primarily of severance and other one-time termination benefits, and other associated costs. These charges are primarily cash-based, and the Company expects the Fiscal 2017 Plan to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2017.

In connection with a restructuring action announced in August 2014 (the “Fiscal 2015 Plan”), the Company incurred cumulative charges of approximately $756 million. The Company completed the Fiscal 2015 Plan in fiscal 2016.

The following tables summarize the activities related to the restructuring and other charges (in millions):
