Restructuring and Other Reorganization-Related Reversals, net
In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company implemented a cost savings initiative (the "2013 Plan") to better align our cost structure with our revenue, primarily in Continental Europe. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded $0.4 of net reversals for the 2013 Plan related to changes in estimate of severance costs, which is included in office and general expenses within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. All restructuring actions were substantially completed by the end of the first quarter of 2014, with remaining payments expected to be made through 2017.
A summary of the 2013 Plan restructuring liability activity is listed below.

Net restructuring reversals related to the 2013 Plan for three months ended March 31, 2014 were comprised of net reversals of approximately $0.2 at IAN and $0.2 at Consistency Management Group ("CMG").
Prior Restructuring Plans
The 2007, 2003 and 2001 restructuring plans (the "Prior Restructuring Plans") with current quarter activity included net reversals that are adjustments primarily resulting from changes in management’s estimates relating to sublease rental income assumptions. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Prior Restructuring Plans incurred net restructuring and other reorganization-related reversals of $0.1 and $0.1, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, the remaining liability for the Prior Restructuring Plans was $0.8.
