RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED 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. In addition, we assess the property and equipment associated with the related facilities for impairment. The remaining useful lives of property and equipment associated with the related operations are re-evaluated based on the respective restructuring plan, resulting in the acceleration of depreciation and amortization of certain assets.

Fiscal 2012 Restructuring Activity

In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we announced restructuring actions, including the relocation of our corporate services from Solon, Ohio to Alpharetta, Georgia, designed to better align those services with our operating units and reduce costs following the sale of TSG. In addition, we also announced in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 that our former President and Chief Executive Officer was stepping down. These restructuring actions were mostly completed by March 31, 2012 and have impacted or will impact approximately 130 employees. We recorded $11.0 million in restructuring charges during fiscal 2012, primarily comprised of severance and related benefits, with $2.0 million, $0.6 million, and $8.4 million related to HSG, RSG and Corporate/Other, respectively. Included in the $8.4 million restructuring charge for Corporate/Other is a $2.1 million one-time lease termination fee for the Solon, Ohio facility. In addition, we incurred accelerated depreciation of $4.4 million of property and equipment that was due to the relocation of our previous corporate services in Solon, Ohio to Alpharetta, Georgia, and closing our facilities in Emeryville, California and Frederick, Maryland in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $5.8 million recorded for fiscal 2012 restructuring activity. We expect to incur approximately $0.6 million in additional restructuring charges for severance and related benefits, and facilities related to these restructuring actions during the first half of fiscal 2013. As a result of taking these restructuring actions, we expect to realize between $14.0 million and $16.0 million in cost savings, of which approximately half has been recognized in the fiscal 2012 run rate. The remaining savings are expected to be realized during fiscal 2013.

Fiscal 2009 Restructuring Activity

During fiscal 2009, we took steps to realign our cost and management structure. Since 2009, we have incurred charges totaling $19.0 million related to restructuring actions taken in fiscal 2009 and previously disclosed, which includes $0.5 million, $0.4 million and $0.8 million in fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which related to Corporate/Other. As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $0.5 million recorded for fiscal 2009 restructuring activity. We expect to incur minimal additional restructuring charges between fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014 for ongoing facility obligations.

Following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the restructuring liability which excludes the $4.4 million of related charges associated with the accelerated depreciation:
