Restructuring Charges

Restructuring Charges

In September 2014, in support of integrating businesses acquired in the past year and the continued evolution of our business model, we committed to a plan to restructure our workforce. As a result, we recorded a restructuring charge of $26.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 associated with severance and related costs associated with 283 employees.

The following table summarizes restructuring accrual activity for the three months ended January 3, 2015:



	Employee Severance and Related Benefits			Facility Closures and Related Costs			Total
