G & K Services, Inc. Transaction and Integration Expenses	G&K Services, Inc. Transaction and Integration Expenses As a result of the acquisition of G&K in fiscal 2017, the Company incurred $14.4 million, $41.9 million and $79.2 million, in transaction and integration expenses in fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. In fiscal 2019, the Company incurred integration expenses directly related to the acquisition of $16.9 million, which primarily consisted of facility closure expenses, partially offset by a $2.5 million adjustment to the accrual for employee termination expenses previously recognized under ASC Topic 712, "Compensation - Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits" (Topic 712). The $41.9 million of costs incurred in fiscal 2018 related to lease cancellation costs, facility closure expenses and other integration expenses directly related to the acquisition. In fiscal 2017, the expenses related to asset impairment charges of $23.3 million and other transaction and integration expenses of $55.9 million, which consisted of the following: $17.4 million of legal and professional fees directly related to the acquisition, $31.0 million of employee termination expenses recognized under Topic 712, $5.5 million write-off of excess inventory and $2.0 million of other miscellaneous integration expenses. The transaction and integration expenses for all fiscal years are included in a single line in the consolidated statements of income and are reported by operating segment in Note 15 entitled Operating Segment Information. Our accounting policy for long-lived assets is described in Note 1 entitled Significant Accounting Policies. The asset impairment charges in fiscal 2017 of $23.3 million relate to the write-down of machinery and equipment and other fixed assets to their fair value in G&K plants and branches that were identified by the Company on April 30, 2017 for future closure. The Company determined that these assets cannot be used for other purposes, and the undiscounted projected future cash flows associated with these assets are less than their carrying value at April 30, 2017. The fair value utilized for purposes of the asset impairment analysis was determined by using Level 2 inputs based on both the cost and market approaches. The amount of employee termination benefits paid during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $3.8 million, $15.2 million and $6.7 million, respectively, which resulted in a related liability balance of $2.8 million, $9.1 million and $24.3 million, respectively. We anticipate the remaining accrued employee termination benefits to be paid by the end of the next fiscal year.
