Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
Restructuring Activities Restructuring Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred $14.5 million of restructuring charges and $16.5 million of other related costs for our restructuring program. These charges resulted from restructuring and associated costs incurred in connection with the Company’s Reinvent SEE business transformation.
In December 2018, the Board of Directors approved our Reinvent SEE business transformation, which included the related three-year restructuring program (“Program”). Spend associated with our previously existing restructuring programs at the time of Reinvent SEE’s approval was substantially completed as of December 31, 2020 and is no longer included in the restructuring program totals below.
The Board of Directors originally approved cumulative restructuring spend of $190 to $220 million. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has incurred $188 million of spend. In December 2021, the Board of Directors approved a six-month extension to the original three-year estimate. The six-month extension does not expand the original total Program spend and is primarily related to on-going initiatives, including those related to SEE's continued digital transformation. We now expect restructuring activities associated with the Program to be substantially complete by June 30, 2022.
Restructuring spend is estimated to be incurred as follows:

The Company also incurred expense related to a restructuring program associated with our 2019 acquisition of Automated Packaging Systems of $1.7 million and $2.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. There were no charges incurred for the acquisition related program for the year ended December 31, 2021. See Note 5, "Divestiture and Acquisition Activity," of the Notes for additional information related to our acquisitions.
The following table details our aggregate restructuring activities incurred under the Company's Program or prior restructuring programs at the time the expense was recorded as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations:

The aggregate restructuring accrual, spending and other activity for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 and the accrual balance remaining at those year-ends were as follows:
(In millions) 
Restructuring accrual at December 31, 2018$37.5 
Accrual and accrual adjustments41.9 
Cash payments during 2019(47.6)

Cash payments during 2021(16.9)
Effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates(0.6)
Restructuring accrual at December 31, 2021$11.3 
We expect to pay $10.2 million of the accrual balance remaining at December 31, 2021 within the next twelve months. This amount is included in accrued restructuring costs on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2021. The remaining accrual of $1.1 million, is expected to primarily be paid in 2023. These amounts are included in other non-current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2021.
One of the components of the Reinvent SEE business transformation was to enhance the operational efficiency of the Company by acting as "One SEE". The Program was approved by our Board of Directors as a consolidated program benefiting both Food and Protective, and accordingly the expected program spend by reporting segment is not available. However, of the total remaining restructuring accrual of $11.3 million as of December 31, 2021, $3.4 million was attributable to Food and $7.9 million was attributable to Protective.
