Restructuring Charges

Charges incurred in the three months ended May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017, for our restructuring activities were $30 million and $0 million, respectively. All charges incurred in the current period related to Best Buy Mobile.

Best Buy Mobile

On March 1, 2018, we announced our intent to close all of our 257 remaining Best Buy Mobile stand-alone stores in the U.S. This decision was a result of changing economics in the mobile industry since we began opening these stores in 2006, along with the integration of our mobile model into our core stores and on-line channel, which are today more economically compelling. All restructuring charges related to this plan are from continuing operations and are presented in Restructuring charges on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

The composition of the restructuring charges we incurred for Best Buy Mobile during the three months ended May 5, 2018, as well as the cumulative amount incurred through May 5, 2018, were as follows ($ in millions):

We have remaining vacant space liabilities at May 5, 2018, of $13 million related to our Canadian Brand consolidation restructuring program, $11 million related to our Renew Blue restructuring program and $3 million related to our U.S. large-format store closures in fiscal 2013. We may continue to incur immaterial adjustments to these liabilities for changes in sublease assumptions or potential lease buyouts. In addition, lease payments for vacated stores will continue until leases expire or are terminated.
