Reconciliations of the liability relating to each of our materially outstanding restructuring plans are provided below:

Fiscal 2013 Restructuring Plan

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2013, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (Fiscal 2013 Restructuring Plan). These charges relate to workforce reductions and facility consolidations.

Since the inception of the Fiscal 2013 Restructuring Plan, $15.8 million of cost have been recorded within Special charges.

The recognition of these charges requires management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we will conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for the year ended June 30, 2013 is shown below.
