RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
Fiscal 2011 Restructuring Plan
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, we initiated a restructuring plan consisting of reductions in workforce and the consolidation of facilities in order to better align our resources around our Digital Media and Digital Marketing strategies.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we continued to implement restructuring activities under this plan. We vacated approximately 54,000 square feet of sales and/or research and development facilities in Canada, the Czech Republic, Germany and Israel. We accrued $9.8 million for the fair value of our future contractual obligations under those operating leases using our estimated credit-adjusted risk-free interest rates ranging from approximately 1% to 4% as of the dates we ceased to use the leased properties. This amount is net of the fair value of future estimated sublease income of approximately $4.2 million. Total costs incurred for termination benefits through the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $63.3 million which includes favorable adjustments of $15.3 million recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 arising from revisions to severance cost estimates that were made in connection with the fourth quarter fiscal 2011 restructuring plan. Total costs incurred to date and expected to be incurred for closing redundant facilities are $13.2 million and $14.7 million, respectively.
Other Restructuring Plans
Other restructuring plans include other Adobe plans and other plans associated with certain of our acquisitions that are substantially complete. We continue to make cash outlays to settle obligations under these plans, however the current impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements is not significant. Our other restructuring plans consist of the following:
Fiscal 2009 Restructuring Plan—In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, in order to appropriately align our costs in connection with our fiscal 2010 operating plan, we initiated a restructuring plan consisting of reductions in workforce and the consolidation of facilities. The restructuring activities related to this program affected only those employees and facilities that were associated with Adobe prior to the acquisition of Omniture, Inc. ("Omniture") on October 23, 2009. As of March 2, 2012, the remaining balance under our Fiscal 2009 Plan for termination benefits and closing redundant facilities was $1.0 million and $8.5 million, respectively.
Omniture Restructuring Plan—We completed our acquisition of Omniture on October 23, 2009. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we initiated a plan to restructure the pre-merger operations of Omniture to eliminate certain duplicative activities, focus our resources on future growth opportunities and reduce our cost structure. As of March 2, 2012, the remaining balance under our Omniture Plan for termination benefits and closing redundant facilities was $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively.


Fiscal 2008 Restructuring Plan—In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, we initiated a restructuring program consisting of reductions in workforce and the consolidation of facilities, in order to reduce our operating costs and focus our resources on key strategic priorities. As of March 2, 2012, the remaining balance under our Fiscal 2008 Plan for closing redundant facilities was $2.1 million. Restructuring activities for termination benefits were completed during fiscal 2011.
