GCP's Board approves all major restructuring and repositioning programs. Major restructuring programs may involve reorganizations, the discontinuation of significant product lines, the shutdown of significant facilities, or other major strategic initiatives. From time to time, GCP takes additional restructuring actions, including involuntary employee terminations that are not a part of a major program. Repositioning activities generally represent major strategic or transformational actions to enhance the value and performance of the Company, improve business efficiency or optimize the Company’s footprint.

Repositioning expenses associated with the Plans discussed below, as well as a review of strategic, financial and operational alternatives, are primarily related to consulting, professional services, and other employee-related costs associated with the Company’s organizational realignment and advancing its technology strategy. Due to the scope and complexity of the Company’s repositioning activities, the range of estimated repositioning expenses and capital expenditures could increase or decrease and the timing of incurrence could change.

On March 30, 2021, the Board approved a business restructuring and repositioning plan (the “2021 Plan”) related to the relocation of the Company’s corporate headquarters to the Atlanta, Georgia area, the closure of its Cambridge, Massachusetts campus, the build-out of new global research and development locations near the Boston/Cambridge area, as well as the consolidation of other regional facilities and offices, including an organizational redesign, which is expected to lower costs. The program is expected to be completed by June 30, 2022.

On February 22, 2019, the Board approved a business restructuring and repositioning plan (the “2019 Plan”). The 2019 Plan is focused on GCP’s global supply chain strategy, processes and execution, including its manufacturing, purchasing, logistics, and warehousing operations. The plan also addresses GCP’s service delivery model, primarily in North America, to streamline the Company’s pursuit of combined admixture and VERIFI® opportunities. The program was substantially completed as of December 31, 2020.

On July 31, 2019, the Board approved a business restructuring and repositioning plan to further optimize the design and footprint of the Company's global organization, primarily with respect to its general administration and business support functions, and streamline cross-functional activities (the “2019 Phase 2 Plan”). The 2019 Phase 2 Plan is expected to result in the net reduction of approximately 8%-10% of the Company's workforce. The program was substantially completed as of March 31, 2021.

(1)Asset write offs of $0.4 million and $2.5 million attributable to the corporate functions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are related to the 2021 Plan. Additionally, as part of the 2019 Phase 2 Plan, GCP incurred $0.1 million of asset write offs attributable to the SBM segment during the three months ended and $0.1 million of asset write off attributable to the SCC segment during the six months ended June 30, 2021. These asset write offs are recorded with a corresponding reduction to "Properties and equipment, net" in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. These expenses are not recorded with a corresponding adjustment to the restructuring liability and therefore, are not included in the table above.
