RESTRUCTURING

RESTRUCTURING

    The Company implemented a multi-year restructuring program that began in fiscal year 2016 called New World Fossil ("NWF 1.0") and concluded in fiscal year 2019. The remaining liability under NWF 1.0 is no longer material.

In fiscal year 2019, the Company launched New World Fossil 2.0 - Transform to Grow Program (“NWF 2.0”), which is focused on optimizing the Company’s operating structure to be more efficient, with faster decision-making and a more customer-centric focus. In addition to optimizing the way the Company goes to market, the Company is also pursuing additional gross margin expansion opportunities. The Company is taking a zero-based budgeting approach to adjust its business model to enable more investment in digital capabilities and marketing, move closer to the consumer and react more quickly to the ever-evolving consumer shopping patterns. The Company also plans to change overall business processes and resources, creating a more centrally directed operating model, reducing complexity and redundancy, and operating at a lower cost base.

The NWF 2.0 restructuring program was expanded to address additional challenges posed by COVID-19, including a number of cost saving measures such as store closures. Effective March 30, 2020, the Company implemented base salary reductions for a substantial number of its global employees, including each of its executive officers. Additionally, the cash fees for all non-employee directors serving on the Company’s Board of Directors were deferred for the first quarter of 2020 until the end of 2020 and the cash fees were reduced by 20% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company has entered into agreements, or is in discussion with, most of its retail and corporate office landlords to modify its rent payments, receive other concessions or otherwise reduce its operating costs for these locations. The Company has also extended the payment terms with a number of its vendors and suppliers globally and has entered into agreements with licensors of certain third party trademarks to reduce the Company’s royalty obligations in 2020. The Company estimates total NWF 2.0 charges of $50 million to $70 million, with approximately $33 million of those charges in fiscal year 2020.

    The following table shows a rollforward of the accrued liability related to the Company’s NWF 2.0 restructuring plan (in thousands):
