Restructuring Activities
Note 6: Restructuring Activities

The Company’s restructuring actions during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 consisted primarily of targeted headcount reductions and plant consolidation activities.  The headcount reductions support the Company’s objective to reduce operational and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) cost structures.  Also, in connection with the merger of its North American coils business into the CIS segment, the Company is in the process of transferring product lines in Mexico from a VTS manufacturing facility to a CIS manufacturing facility.

In January 2020, the Company approved additional headcount reductions in Europe and North America within the VTS segment and, as a result, expects to record approximately $4.0 million of severance expenses during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.

Restructuring and repositioning expenses were as follows:
