- During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we announced cost-saving measures designed to drive structural operating efficiencies across the company, including a targeted global workforce reduction. We recorded restructuring charges of $28.4 million in fiscal 2020, primarily related to severance pay expenses and separately presented on the consolidated statements of income. We completed the restructuring activities by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
- Excluding the restructuring charges portion, stock-based compensation increased by $59.7 million and $38.6 million in fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. The increases were primarily related to higher grant-date fair value of more recent restricted stock unit (RSU) grants replacing prior RSU grants with lower grant-date fair value that were fully amortized. In order to retain our current workforce and maintain continuous business operations during the pending period of the merger, we implemented an employee retention bonus program in December 2020 for certain employees consisting of both cash bonuses and RSUs. The addition of retention RSU grants also contributed to the increase in the fiscal 2021 stock-based compensation expense.
