Restructuring and other charges includes expenses incurred for employee terminations due to a reduction of personnel resources resulting from modifications of business strategy or business emphasis. Employee-related restructuring expenses include severance benefits, notice pay and outplacement services. Restructuring and other charges may also include expenses incurred associated with acquisition or divestiture activities, facility abandonments and other expenses associated with business restructuring actions.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded the following restructuring charges:

$0.7 million net expense relating to the severance for 9 employees whose positions were primarily in North America due the transition of the Company's supply chain operations to third party integration partners.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded the following restructuring and other charges:

$0.1 million integration-related net expense principally associated with asset disposals and transfer-related costs resulting from resource and site consolidation actions.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded the following restructuring charges:

$1.5 million net expense relating to the severance for 32 employees primarily in connection with a reduction to the Company's hardware engineering presence in Shenzhen as well as reductions in North America due to the transition of the Company's supply chain operations to third party integration partners; and
$0.1 million integration-related net expense principally associated with asset disposals and personnel overlap resulting from resource and site consolidation actions.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded the following restructuring and other charges:

$3.8 million net expense relating to the severance of 122 employees primarily within Asia and North America. These actions were in connection with the restructuring of the Company's Embedded Products and Hardware Services segment's research and development and sales and general administrative functions and are presented net of reductions resulting from changes in previously estimated amounts for employee severance and associated payroll costs;
$0.6 million integration-related net expense principally associated with asset disposals and personnel overlap resulting from resource and site consolidation actions;
$0.4 million lease abandonment expense associated with the reductions in certain of our international sites; and
