During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, we restructured our operations in connection with the acquisition of Chef (Note 6). This restructuring resulted in a reduction in redundant positions, primarily within administrative functions of Chef.

For the three and six months ended May 31, 2021, we incurred expenses of $0.9 million related to this restructuring. The expenses are recorded as restructuring expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

A summary of activity for this restructuring action is as follows (in thousands):

Excess Facilities and Other CostsEmployee Severance and Related BenefitsTotal
Balance, December 1, 2020$— $3,523 $3,523

Cash disbursements(85)(3,940)(4,025)
Translation adjustments and other— 
Balance, May 31, 2021$17 $386 $403 

Cash disbursements for expenses incurred to date under this restructuring are expected to be made through fiscal year 2021. Accordingly, the balance of the restructuring reserve of $0.4 million is included in other accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2021.

We expect to incur additional expenses as part of this action related to employee costs and facility closures as we consolidate offices in various locations during fiscal year 2021, but we do not expect these costs to be material.
