Note 9 Restructuring and Relocation Activities

Consolidation of Restructuring Programs

As reported in our 2015 Form 10-K, our December 2011 Integration and Optimization Program (“IOP”) is substantially complete and is not expected to significantly impact 2016. The May 2013 Earnings Quality Improvement Program (“EQIP”) and the December 2014 Fusion program will show significant activity in 2016.

In the first quarter of 2016, the Board of Directors agreed to consolidate the remaining activities of all restructuring programs to create a single program to be called the “Sealed Air Restructuring Program” or the “Program.”

The Program consists of a portfolio of restructuring projects across all of our divisions as part of our transformation of Sealed Air into a knowledge-based company, including reductions in headcount, and relocation of certain facilities and offices, which primarily reflects the relocation of our global headquarters to Charlotte, North Carolina, including the headquarters for our divisions, research and development facilities, and corporate offices. By December 31, 2017, we anticipate approximately 1,300 jobs will have been relocated to Charlotte primarily from our former corporate headquarters in Elmwood Park, New Jersey; and facilities in Saddle Brook, New Jersey; Racine, Wisconsin; and, Duncan and Greenville, South Carolina. The cost of the Charlotte campus is estimated to be approximately $120 million.

Program metrics are as follows:

	Sealed Air Restructuring Program
Approximate positions eliminated by the program		1,950
Estimated Program Costs (in millions):
Costs of reduction in headcount as a result of reorganization	$235-$245
Other expenses associated with the Program	155-160
Total expense	$390-$405
Capital expenditures	250-255
Proceeds, foreign exchange and other cash items	(70)-(75)
Total estimated net cash cost	$570-$585
Program to Date Cumulative Expense (in millions):
Costs of reduction in headcount as a result of reorganization	$	216
Other expenses associated with the Program		94
Total Cumulative Expense	$	310
Cumulative Capital expenditures	$	182

The following table details our restructuring activities as reflected in the Condensed Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
(In millions)	2016		2015		2016		2015
Other associated costs	$	6.0	$	13.0	$	17.3	$	32.2
Restructuring charges		1.6		38.4		3.2		68.0
Total	$	7.6	$	51.4	$	20.5	$	100.2
Capital Expenditures	$	35.4	$	21.0	$	92.4	$	25.5

The restructuring accrual, spending and other activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the accrual balance remaining at September 30, 2016 related to these programs were as follows (in millions):

Restructuring accrual at December 31, 2015	$	76.3
Accrual and accrual adjustments		3.2
Cash payments during 2016		(34.0	)
Effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates		0.3
Restructuring accrual at September 30, 2016	$	45.8

We expect to pay $41 million of the accrual balance remaining at September 30, 2016 within the next twelve months. This amount is included in accrued restructuring costs on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2016. The remaining accrual of $5 million is expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2017. This amount is included in other non-current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2016.
