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 months ended August 31, 2021, we incurred minimal expenses related to this restructuring. For the nine months ended August 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.
