Restructuring Costs
During the first quarter of 2017, the Company announced a plan to reduce our workforce at our Vennixeux, France site by approximately 50%.  This reduction is an effort to align the Company’s cost structure with our ongoing and future planned projects. In July 2017, the Company completed negotiations with the works council for our French operations and received approval from the French Labor Commission (DIRECCTE) to implement the plan. The reduction is substantially complete at June 30, 2018. Restructuring charges of $50 and $1,069 were recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively and $203 and $3,722 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The following table sets forth activities for the Company’s cost reduction plan obligations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:
