During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company announced a facilities consolidation plan related to its International Contract segment. This impacted certain office and manufacturing facilities in the United Kingdom and China. The plan is expected to generate cost savings of approximately $3 million. To date, the Company recognized restructuring and impairment expenses of $7.8 million, with $1.4 million recognized in fiscal 2020 and the remainder in fiscal 2019 and 2018. These expenses related to the facilities consolidation plan, comprised primarily of an asset impairment recorded against an office building in the United Kingdom that was vacated and the consolidation of the Company's manufacturing facilities in China. No material future restructuring costs related to the plan are expected as the plan is substantially complete.

The office buildings and related assets of United Kingdom and China have a carrying value of approximately $7.8 million and meet the criteria to be designated as assets held for sale. Therefore these assets have been classified as current assets and included within "Other current assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at May 30, 2020.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company announced restructuring activities associated with profit improvement initiatives, including costs associated with an early retirement plan. The plan is expected to generate annual cost savings of approximately $10 million. To date, the Company has recognized $11.1 million of restructuring
expense related to the plan. During the year ended May 30, 2020, the Company recognized $1.7 million related to the plan. The early retirement plan is complete and no future costs related to this plan are expected.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the North America Contract segment initiated restructuring discussions with labor unions related to its Nemschoff operation in Wisconsin. The discussions were concluded in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and as a result, the Company anticipates the total estimated costs related to the actions will be approximately $5 million. These restructuring costs relate to potential partial outsourcing and in-sourcing strategies, long-lived asset impairments and employee-related costs. In conjunction with these discussions, during the year ended May 30, 2020, the Company has recorded $3.2 million in pre-tax restructuring expense related to this plan which is expected to be completed in fiscal 2021.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company initiated a reorganization of the Global Sales and Product teams. The reorganization activities occurred primarily in the North America business with additional costs incurred Internationally. In the year ended May 30, 2020, the Company has recorded a total of $2.6 million in pre-tax restructuring expense related to this plan. The reorganization is complete and no future costs related to this plan are expected.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company announced a reorganization of the Retail segment's leadership team. The Company recognized pre-tax severance and employee related restructuring expense of $2.2 million related to the plan.
