NOTE 14 — RESTRUCTURING
During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company announced a new digitally empowered phase of its Consumer Direct Offense strategy: Consumer Direct Acceleration. As a result, management announced a series of leadership and operating model changes to streamline and speed up strategic execution for the Company. These changes will result in a net reduction of the Company's global workforce and the Company expects to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $315 million, of which $248 million were incurred during the first nine months of fiscal 2021, the majority of which relate to employee termination costs and, to a lesser extent, stock-based compensation expense. These amounts reflect the continued evaluation and variability of the Company's original estimate of employee termination costs and required changes in assumptions used to calculate stock-based compensation expense. The related cash expenditures will primarily take place throughout fiscal 2021 and all related actions are expected to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2021.
During the three months ended February 28, 2021, the Company recognized employee termination costs of $23 million and $6 million within Operating overhead expense and Cost of sales, respectively, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the nine months ended February 28, 2021, the Company recognized employee termination costs of $168 million and $36 million within Operating overhead expense and Cost of sales, respectively. These costs were classified within Corporate.
