Pinnacle Integration Restructuring Plan

In December 2018, our Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a restructuring and integration plan related to the ongoing integration of the operations of Pinnacle, which we acquired in October 2018 (the "Pinnacle Integration Restructuring Plan"), for the purpose of achieving significant cost synergies between the companies, as a result of which we expect to incur material charges for exit and disposal activities under U.S. GAAP. We expect to incur approximately $358.0 million ($283.5 million of cash charges and $74.5 million of non-cash charges) for actions identified to date under the Pinnacle Integration Restructuring Plan. The Board and/or our senior management have authorized incurrence of these charges. We recognized charges of $31.7 million, $73.8 million, and $168.2 million in connection with the Pinnacle Integration Restructuring Plan in fiscal 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. We expect to incur costs related to the Pinnacle Integration Restructuring Plan over a multi-year period.

We anticipate that we will recognize the following pre-tax expenses in association with the Pinnacle Integration Restructuring Plan (amounts include charges recognized from plan inception through the end of fiscal 2021):

Conagra Restructuring Plan

In fiscal 2019, senior management initiated a restructuring plan (the "Conagra Restructuring Plan") for costs incurred in connection with actions taken to improve SG&A expense effectiveness and efficiencies and to optimize our supply chain network. Although we remain unable to make good faith estimates relating to the entire Conagra Restructuring Plan, we are reporting on actions initiated through the end of fiscal 2021, including the estimated amounts or range of amounts for each major type of costs expected to be incurred, and the charges that have resulted or will result in cash outflows. As of May 30, 2021, we had approved the incurrence of $172.2 million ($45.4 million of cash charges and $126.8 million of non-cash charges) for several projects associated with the Conagra Restructuring Plan. We have incurred or expect to incur $157.3 million of charges ($36.9 million of cash charges and $120.4 million of non-cash charges) for actions identified to date under the Conagra Restructuring Plan. We recognized charges of $46.2 million, $64.4 million, and $2.2 million in connection with the Conagra Restructuring Plan in fiscal 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. We expect to incur costs related to the Conagra Restructuring Plan over a multi-year period.

We anticipate that we will recognize the following pre-tax expenses in association with the Conagra Restructuring Plan (amounts include charges recognized from plan inception through the end of fiscal 2021):
