11. Restructuring and Other Charges

In May 2013, we initiated a business restructuring plan under which we realigned internal resources, resulting in a reduction of our global workforce of approximately 7%. Restructuring and other charges during the six months ended October 25, 2013 consisted primarily of employee severance-related costs.

Activities related to this plan for the six months ended October 25, 2013 were as follows (in millions):


	Total
Net charges	$	49.5
Cash payments		(45.4	)

Balance as of October 25, 2013	$	4.1

The reserve balance as of October 25, 2013 is included in accrued compensation and related benefits in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
