RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

NOTE 7 – RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we commenced a plan to capture certain synergies and cost savings related to streamlining our global operations and sales organization, as well as rationalize certain leased properties that are not fully occupied. Our plan is aligned with our strategy to integrate the global sales organization and further outsource manufacturing functions in order to drive operational efficiency, increase supplier geographic diversity, and reduce operating expenses. Effective May 31, 2018, we recorded approximately $0.9 million in severance and employee related costs, which were substantially all under the Telematics Systems reportable segment, as well as $2.5 million for vacant office and manufacturing facility space under Corporate Expenses (defined in Note 15). For the three months ended August 31, 2018, we recorded an additional $0.3 million in severance and employee related costs, which were substantially all under Telematics Systems reportable segment, and $0.2 million for vacant office and manufacturing facility space under Corporate Expenses. The total restructuring charges were $3.9 million through August 31, 2018.

The anticipated rent payments for the vacant portion of leased facilities will be made through December 2025. There is no guarantee that the termination and cease use charges will not exceed the estimates or that the impact of future net costs reduction will be achieved. The following table summarizes the activity resulting from the implementation of the restructuring plan within other current and non-current liabilities:
