Note 18. Restructuring Charges

GES

We have taken certain restructuring actions designed to reduce our cost structure primarily within GES. We implemented a strategic reorganization plan in order to consolidate the separate business units within GES U.S. We also consolidated facilities and streamlined our operations in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom. As a result, we recorded restructuring charges primarily consisting of severance and related benefits as a result of workforce reductions and charges related to the consolidation and downsizing of facilities representing the remaining operating lease obligations (net of estimated sublease income) and related costs.

Other Restructurings

We recorded restructuring charges in connection with certain reorganization activities within Pursuit. These charges primarily consist of severance and related benefits due to headcount reductions.
