In the first six months of fiscal 2023, we executed a restructuring plan to redirect resources to highest return activities, which included a reduction in our global workforce of approximately 1% and consisted primarily of employee severance-related costs.

We also continued activities related to the establishment of an international headquarters in Cork, Ireland, during the first six months of fiscal 2023, and incurred restructuring charges consisting primarily of severance-related costs and legal and tax-related professional fees. Activities under this plan, for which we expect to incur additional charges, will continue during the remainder of fiscal 2023.

During the first six months of fiscal 2022, we executed a restructuring plan to reduce the amount of office space we occupied as we allow more employees to work remotely. In connection with the plan, we also reduced our global workforce by approximately 1%. Charges related to the plan consisted primarily of office relocation costs, lease termination fees, and employee severance-related costs. Substantially all activities under the plan had been completed by the end of fiscal 2022.
