Signet Path to Brilliance Plan

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, Signet launched a three-year comprehensive transformation plan, the “Signet Path to Brilliance” plan (the “Plan”), to reposition the Company to be a share-gaining, OmniChannel jewelry category leader. Restructuring activities related to the Plan were substantially completed in Fiscal 2021. The Company recorded credits to restructuring expense of $0.9 million and $1.6 million, during the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 31, 2021, respectively, primarily related to adjustments to previously recognized Plan liabilities.
