International Contract Segment

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.

In fiscal 2019, the Company recognized restructuring and impairment expenses of $2.5 million related to the facilities consolidation plan, comprised primarily of $0.8 million related to an asset impairment recorded against an office building in the United Kingdom that was vacated and $1.4 million from the consolidation of the Company's manufacturing facilities in China.

During the nine months ended February 29, 2020, the Company recognized pre-tax restructuring expense of $0.6 million, related to the plan. To date, the Company has recognized $7.0 million of restructuring costs related to the plan. No future restructuring costs related to the plan are expected. The plan is expected to be complete by the end of fiscal 2020.

As the United Kingdom office building and related assets meet the criteria to be designated as assets held for sale, the carrying value of these assets have been classified as current assets and included within "Other current assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at February 29, 2020. The carrying amount of the assets held for sale was approximately $4.4 million as of February 29, 2020.
