RESTRUCTURING AND ACQUISITION-RELATED COSTS

In the fourth quarter of 2016, AAM initiated actions under a global restructuring program focused on creating a more streamlined organization in addition to reducing our cost structure and preparing for acquisition integration activities. A summary of this activity for the first six months of 2017 is shown below:

As part of our restructuring actions, we incurred severance charges of approximately $1.5 million, as well as implementation costs, including professional expenses, of approximately $7.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Since the inception of our global restructuring program, we have incurred severance charges totaling $2.1 million and implementation costs totaling $17.2 million. We expect to incur approximately $15 to $20 million of additional charges under our global restructuring program in 2017.
On March 1, 2017, we completed the acquisition of USM Mexico Manufacturing LLC (USM Mexico) and on April 6, 2017, we completed the acquisition of MPG. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred the following charges related to these acquisitions:

Acquisition-related costs primarily consist of advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and certain other professional or consulting fees incurred. Also included in acquisition-related costs is a one-time charge of approximately $20 million for MPG stock-based compensation that was accelerated and settled as a result of the acquisition. Integration expenses reflect costs incurred for information technology systems, ongoing operational activities, and consulting fees incurred in conjunction with the acquisitions. Total charges associated with our global restructuring program and acquisition-related charges of $51.7 million and $67.7 million are shown on a separate line item titled "Restructuring and Acquisition-Related Costs" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
