Restructuring Reserve

Restructuring Reserves

During fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009 Autodesk initiated restructuring plans (“Fiscal 2011 Plan,” “Fiscal 2010 Plan” and “Fiscal 2009 Plan,” respectively) in order to further reduce operating costs. These restructuring plans resulted in targeted global staff reductions of approximately 200, 430, and 700 positions in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. No leased facilities were consolidated as part of the Fiscal 2011 Plan. The Fiscal 2010 Plan and Fiscal 2009 Plan resulted in the consolidation of 32 and 27 leased facilities, respectively. In connection with our restructuring plans, we recorded a favorable adjustment for changes in previous estimates during fiscal 2012.

The following table sets forth the restructuring activities for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2012 and 2011.
