Restructuring and Severance Charges

In 2018, the Company began a strategic plan to align its resources and capabilities to support its vision of being a world-leading business platform. This program primarily impacted the Company’s information technology infrastructure and organization and other departments within its corporate and Americas offices. As a result of the restructuring program, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $48.6 million for impairment of information technology assets, including internally developed software for social sharing and digital initiatives, and $22.1 million of cash charges, including $20.1 million for employee severance and $2.0 million for other related cash charges with our restructuring. The restructuring charges were predominately recorded in the Corporate and Other category. As of December 31, 2019, and 2018 the Company had a liability of zero and $15.5 million in accrued payroll and other employee expenses, respectively.
