(1) We have incurred $478 million of cumulative costs associated with restructuring activities initiated prior to fiscal year 2017, which include lease exit, employee separation, and other related costs of $306 million, $116 million and $56 million, respectively. These cumulative costs have been reflected in our segment reporting as follows: $347 million in University of Phoenix, $17 million in Apollo Global, and $114 million in Other.
(2) The gross, undiscounted obligation associated with our restructuring liabilities as of November 30, 2016 was approximately $129 million, which principally represents costs for non-cancelable leases that will be paid over the respective lease terms through fiscal year 2023.
