The integration of the industrial adhesives business we acquired in March 2012 involved a significant amount of restructuring and capital investment to optimize the new combined entity. In addition, we have taken a series of actions in our existing EIMEA operating segment to improve the profitability and future growth prospects of this operating segment. We combined these two initiatives into a single project which we refer to as the “Business Integration Project”. During the quarter

ended February 27, 2016 and February 28, 2015

, we incurred special charges, net of $413 and $2,361, respectively, for costs related to the Business Integration Project.
