Other charges in the table above were to write-down the carrying value of assets we plan to close or sell under the program, the largest of which were charges of $10.0 million in 2019 to write-down finite-lived intangible assets related to a discontinued product line and $20.2 million in 2018 to record on-hand stock of a discontinued product at net realizable value. Other charges in 2018 also include expense related to a voluntary early retirement program under one of our pension plans in the United States. These charges do not impact the accrued restructuring charges shown in the following table.
