Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

Cadence has initiated restructuring plans in an effort to better align its resources with its business strategy. These restructuring plans have primarily been comprised of severance payments and termination benefits related to headcount reductions, estimated lease losses related to facilities vacated and charges related to abandoned assets. During the nine months ended September 26, 2020, Cadence revised certain estimates made in connection with its prior restructuring plans and recorded credits of approximately $1.3 million.

The following table presents activity relating to Cadence’s restructuring plans during the nine months ended September 26, 2020:
