Activity related to the Company’s significant restructuring programs that were either initiated during 2016 or had not been completed as of December 31, 2016, are as follows:

Post-Fairchild Acquisition Restructuring Costs

On September 19, 2016, following the acquisition of Fairchild, the Company approved the implementation of a cost-reduction plan, the first step of which was to eliminate approximately 130 positions from its workforce as a result of redundancies and position eliminations. The restructuring expense of $25.7 million, which was primarily attributable to severance and termination benefits, was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2016, of which $20.2 million was paid during the year. During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016, another 95 positions were eliminated. Accrued severance for these two programs were $5.5 million as of December 31, 2016 and is expected to be paid during the first two quarters of 2017. The Company will continue to evaluate the remaining positions for redundancies and may incur additional charges in the future.

General Workforce Reductions

During the third quarter of 2015, the Company approved and began to implement certain restructuring actions, primarily targeted at workforce reductions. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had notified 150 employees of their employment termination, all of which had exited by December 31, 2016. The total expense for the program was $5.1 million, with no additional expenses expected. The Company paid $1.3 million and $3.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, there is no remaining unpaid liability due to the completion of the program.

Former System Solutions Group Segment Voluntary Workforce Reduction

During March 2016, the Company announced a voluntary resignation program for the former System Solutions Group. A total of 75 employees volunteered and signed employee separation agreements as of the end of the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The total expense of the plan was $5.3 million and all employees were paid during the year. All of the employees have exited as of December 31, 2016. No further expenses are expected and there is no remaining unpaid liability due to the completion of this plan.

Manufacturing Relocation

During March 2016, the Company announced a plan to relocate certain of its manufacturing operations to another existing location. The transition will occur through 2017. Approximately 160 employees will be impacted by the relocation. The total expense, consisting of retention and severance, is expected to be approximately $5.7 million and the accrued balance as of December 31, 2016 was $2.1 million. A majority of the employees are expected to exit during the second half of 2017.

European Marketing Organization Relocation

In January 2015, the Company announced that it would relocate its European customer marketing organization from France to Slovakia and Germany. As a result, six positions were eliminated and the total expense of the plan was $3.5 million, with no additional expenses expected. The Company did not record any related employee separation charges during the year ended December 31, 2016. All impacted employees have exited as of 2016. The Company paid $2.9 million and $0.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, there is no remaining unpaid liability due to the completion of this program.
