As part of an effort to streamline operations with changing market conditions and to create a more efficient organization, the Company has undertaken restructuring actions to reduce its workforce and consolidate facilities. The Company’s restructuring expenses were primarily of: (i) severance and termination benefit costs related to the reduction of its workforce; and (ii) lease termination costs and costs associated with permanently vacating certain facilities.

HSC Business

In fiscal 2015, the Company prepared a workforce-reduction plan (the Plan) with respect to employees of its HSC business in France and the Netherlands. The Plan sets forth the general parameters, terms and benefits for employee dismissals. The Plan was approved by the French Works Council and Labor Administrator and the related Plan details were communicated to the affected employees in France and the Netherlands. No works council consultation was required in the Netherlands. The Company has not historically offered similar termination benefits as defined in the Plan for these locations. The Plan identified the number of employees to be terminated, their job classification or function, their location and the date that the Plan was expected to be completed. The Plan also established the terms of the benefit arrangement in sufficient detail to enable the employees to determine the type and amount of benefits that they would receive if terminated. In addition, the actions required to complete the Plan indicated that it was unlikely that substantial changes to the Plan would be made after communication to the employees. Accordingly, the Company accrued restructuring charges in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. The restructuring charges recorded to discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations were approximately $18.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2015, for a total of 53 employees in France and the Netherlands combined.

The Company expects to make payments related to these termination benefits and complete the restructuring action by the third quarter of fiscal 2016.
