Restructuring Charges
During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company initiated a global cost reduction and restructuring plan to better align its global cost and organizational structure with its current strategic initiatives. This plan includes the consolidation and streamlining of the Company’s business processes and a reduction in its global workforce and other expenses. These actions resulted in restructuring charges of $6.1 million related primarily to cash-based severance costs during the three months ended April 30, 2016. As of April 30, 2016, the Company had a balance of approximately $5.1 million in accrued expenses for amounts expected to be paid during the remainder of fiscal 2017. The Company currently estimates that it may incur an additional $1 million to $2 million in future cash-based severance charges during the remainder of fiscal 2017. The Company’s assessment of the costs associated with the restructuring-related activities is still ongoing and actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates as plans evolve, details are finalized and negotiations are completed.
The following table summarizes restructuring activities related primarily to severance during the three months ended April 30, 2016 (in thousands):
