Restructuring Charges

We recognize restructuring charges when a plan that materially changes the scope of our business or the manner in which that business is conducted is adopted and communicated to the impacted parties, and the expenses have been incurred or are reasonably estimable.

Fiscal 2014 Restructuring Activity

In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we announced restructuring actions to better align corporate functions and to reduce operating costs, following the sale of RSG. These restructuring activities are expected to be completed in fiscal 2014. We recorded $0.7 million in restructuring charges during the first nine months of fiscal 2014, comprised of severance and other employee related benefits. We expect to incur minimal additional restructuring charges during the remainder of fiscal 2014 for the fiscal 2014 restructuring activity.

Fiscal 2012 Restructuring Activity

In fiscal 2012, we took steps to realign services and costs, including the relocation of our corporate services from Solon, Ohio to Alpharetta, Georgia. Since 2012, as previously disclosed, we have recorded $12.1 million in restructuring charges related to the fiscal 2012 restructuring activity. As of December 31, 2013, there was no further liability for fiscal 2012 restructuring activity.

Fiscal 2009 Restructuring Activity

During fiscal 2009, we took steps to realign our cost and management structure. Since 2009, as previously disclosed, we have incurred charges totaling approximately $19.0 million related to the fiscal 2009 restructuring activity. As of December 31, 2013, there was no further liability fiscal 2009 restructuring activity.
