Restructuring Charges

During 2012, we restructured our field and corporate operations to create a more efficient and competitive company. These changes included consolidating our field regions from four to three and our areas from 28 to 20, relocating office space, and reducing administrative staffing levels. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we incurred $4.9 million of restructuring charges, which consisted of severance and other employee termination benefits, relocation benefits, and the closure of offices with lease agreements with non-cancellable terms. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we paid $7.2 million related to these restructuring charges. As of March 31, 2013, $6.7 million remains accrued for severance and other employee termination benefits and lease exit costs. We expect to incur approximately $10 million of additional expense during the remainder of 2013 to complete such activities. Substantially all of these charges were or will be recorded in our corporate segment, and we expect the charges will be paid primarily during 2013.
