ORGANIZATIONAL AND SEPARATION RELATED CHARGES

14. ORGANIZATIONAL AND SEPARATION RELATED CHARGES

Subsequent to the Spin-Off, Marriott International continued to provide us with certain information technology, payroll, human resources and other administrative services pursuant to transition services agreements, most of which we had ceased using as of the end of 2013. In connection with our continued organizational and separation related activities, we have incurred certain expenses to complete our separation from Marriott International. These costs primarily relate to establishing our own information technology systems and services, independent payroll and accounts payable functions and reorganizing existing human resources, information technology and related finance and accounting organizations to support our stand-alone public company needs. We expect these efforts to be substantially completed in 2014. Organizational and separation related charges as reflected on our Statements of Operations were $1 million and $2 million for the twelve weeks ended June 20, 2014 and June 14, 2013, respectively, and $2 million and $3 million for the twenty-four weeks ended June 20, 2014 and June 14, 2013, respectively. In addition, less than $1 million and $2 million of additional separation related charges were capitalized to Property and equipment on our Balance Sheets during the twenty-four weeks ended June 20, 2014 and June 14, 2013, respectively.
