Restructuring Charges

Note 11. Restructuring Charges

Restructuring and other charges in 2019 and 2018 consist of costs associated with the ongoing reorganization of our business operations and expense re-alignment efforts, which primarily relate to severance costs due to workforce reductions. Included in employee separation costs was restructuring expense of $0.5 million related to and reported in the Napster segment. Asset related and other costs primarily relate to the termination of certain contracts in the second quarter of 2019 as we continue to shift focus onto free-to-play games that offer in-game purchases of virtual goods and away from the premium mobile games that require a one-time purchase.
