Restructuring Reserve

During fiscal 2011, fiscal 2010 and fiscal 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 for 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 the nine months ended October 31, 2011.

The following table sets forth the restructuring activities for the nine months ended October 31, 2011.
