Restructuring and Reorganization Charges

5.   RESTRUCTURING AND REORGANIZATION CHARGES

During the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, we recorded restructuring and reorganization charges of $1.6 million and ($0.2) million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded restructuring and reorganization charges of $4.6 million and ($0.6) million, respectively.  

Our restructuring activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are primarily made up of the following:

• We reduced our workforce by approximately 20 employees as a result of organizational changes made to pursue global opportunities and efficiencies.  As a result, we incurred restructuring charges related to involuntary terminations of $2.1 million.

• We impaired a long-term receivable related to the disposition of a business resulting in additional restructuring charges of $1.9 million.

The activity in the business restructuring and reorganization reserves during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was as follows:
