In the second quarter of 2020 management initiated certain restructuring actions with respect to the Company’s Americas and APMEA segments as well as at Corporate primarily in response to the economic challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The restructuring actions included costs mainly for severance benefits due to reductions in force, as well as costs relating to asset write offs, facility exit and other exit costs.

The total pre-tax charge for the 2020 restructuring initiatives is expected to be approximately $9.5 million, of which approximately $5.6 million has been incurred as of June 28, 2020 for the program to date. Through June 28, 2020 the Company has paid approximately $3.3 million of severance benefits and other related costs. The restructuring reserve associated with these actions was approximately $2.7 million as of June 30, 2020 and primarily related to severance benefits. The remaining expected costs relate to severance, asset write off, facility exit and other exit costs and are expected to be completed by the end of 2020.

These actions included reductions in force and other related costs within the Company’s Europe segment. Total pre-tax charges for the program were reduced in the second quarter of 2020 by approximately $0.3 million due primarily to decreased severance costs. This resulted in total program restructuring charges of approximately $8.0 million which have been fully incurred. Pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $1.3 million and $2.7 million were incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The restructuring reserve associated with these actions as of June 28, 2020 was approximately $1.0 million, and primarily relates to severance benefits.
