Closed Restructuring Program
Between 2008 and 2011 and in recognition of the very challenging economic environment, we were intensely focused on reducing our operating costs. During this period, we reduced our employee headcount from approximately 10,900 at January 1, 2008 (the beginning of the restructuring period) to approximately 7,500 at December 31, 2011 (the end of the restructuring period). Additionally, we reduced our branch network from 697 locations at January 1, 2008 to 529 locations at December 31, 2011.
RSC Merger Related Restructuring Program
In the second quarter of 2012, we initiated a restructuring program related to severance costs and branch closure charges associated with the April 2012 acquisition of RSC. The branch closure charges principally relate to continuing lease obligations at vacant facilities closed subsequent to the RSC acquisition. As of June 30, 2015, our employee headcount is approximately 12,600 and our branch network has 896 rental locations. We do not expect to incur significant additional charges in connection with the restructuring, which was complete as of June 30, 2013 (the end of the restructuring period).
The table below provides certain information concerning our restructuring charges for the six months ended June 30, 2015:
