During Fiscal 2020, we entered into the COVID-19 and Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plans (as defined below), which included the abandonment of certain leased facilities. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, at the time of the initial abandonment of leased facilities during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020, we anticipated that we would not be able to early terminate any of our lease obligations. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded net recoveries of $2.1 million and $29.0 million, respectively, within "Special charges (recoveries)" relating to early lease terminations and assignments of previously abandoned office space. These recoveries were recorded under the COVID-19 and Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plans, consistent with the initial abandonment.

COVID-19 Restructuring Plan

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we made a strategic decision to move towards a significant work from home model. We began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations and significantly reduce our real estate footprint around the world (COVID-19 Restructuring Plan). The COVID-19 Restructuring Plan charges relate to workforce reductions and facility costs, including the accelerated amortization associated with the abandonment of ROU assets, the write-off of fixed assets and other related variable lease and exit costs. 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. With respect to the COVID-19 Restructuring Plan, at the time of initial abandonment we assumed there would be no additional sublease income, lease assignments or early terminations from vacated facilities.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized net recoveries of $1.5 million and $15.4 million, respectively, relating to previously abandoned office space that has since been early terminated or assigned to a third party, as discussed above. Included in these recoveries are $2.2 million and $12.3 million, respectively, relating to the reversal of lease liabilities (see note 6 "Leases"), with the remainder relating to other facility charges and recoveries. Additionally, during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, we incurred $1.6 million and $7.8 million, respectively, of charges related to abandoned facilities, workforce reductions and the write-off of fixed assets.

As of March 31, 2021, we expect total costs to be incurred in connection with the COVID-19 Restructuring Plan to be approximately $47 million, of which $46.0 million has been recorded within "Special charges (recoveries)" to date.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending restructuring liability, which is included within "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 is shown below.

Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan

During Fiscal 2020, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan), including in connection with our acquisitions of Carbonite and XMedius, to take further steps to improve our operational efficiency. The Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan charges relate to workforce reductions and facility costs, including the accelerated amortization associated with the abandonment of ROU assets, the write-off of fixed assets and other related variable lease and exit costs. 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. With respect to the Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan, at the time of the initial abandonment we assumed there would be no additional sublease income, lease assignments or early terminations from vacated facilities.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized net recoveries of $0.6 million and $13.6 million, respectively, relating to previously abandoned office space that has since been early terminated or assigned to a third party, as discussed above. Included in these recoveries are $1.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, relating to the reversal of lease liabilities (see note 6 "Leases"), with the remainder relating to other facility charges and recoveries. Additionally, during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized a net recovery of $0.1 million and charges of $14.1 million, respectively, related to abandoned facilities, workforce reductions and the write-off of fixed assets.

As of March 31, 2021, we expect total costs to be incurred in connection with the Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan to be approximately $30 million, of which $27.2 million has been recorded within "Special charges (recoveries)" to date.


Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan	Workforce reduction		Facility charges		Total
Balance payable as of June 30, 2020	$	1,576	$	6,442	$	8,018
Accruals and adjustments	9,104		(884)		8,220
Cash payments	(9,940)		(3,281)		(13,221)
