Fiscal 2019 Restructuring Plan

During Fiscal 2019, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (Fiscal 2019 Restructuring Plan), including in connection with our recent acquisitions of Catalyst and Liaison, to take further steps to improve our operational efficiency. The Fiscal 2019 Restructuring Plan charges relate to workforce reductions and facility consolidations. These charges require 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 conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.

Since the inception of the plan, approximately $30.0 million has been recorded within "Special charges (recoveries)" to date. We do not expect to incur any further significant charges relating to this plan.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for the three months ended September 30, 2019 is shown below.

Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan

During Fiscal 2018 and in the context of our acquisitions of Covisint, Guidance and Hightail (each defined below), we implemented restructuring activities to streamline our operations (collectively referred to as the Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan). The Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan charges relate to workforce reductions and facility consolidations. These charges require 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 conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.

Since the inception of the plan, approximately $10.7 million has been recorded within "Special charges (recoveries)" to date. We do not expect to incur any further significant charges relating to this plan.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for the three months ended September 30, 2019 is shown below.
