Substantially all restructuring activities initiated in 2016 were completed by December 31, 2016. We expect substantially all cash payments associated with remaining termination benefits recorded in 2016 will be paid during 2017. Substantially all planned restructuring activities related to the 2015 and 2014 plans have been completed and all cash payments related to such activities have been paid. Impairment charges in 2016 and 2015 related to certain trade names used in the Industrial Technologies segment.

The nature of our restructuring and related activities initiated in 2016, 2015 and 2014 were broadly consistent throughout our segments and focused on improvements in operational efficiency through targeted workforce reductions and facility consolidations and closures. We incurred these costs to position ourselves to provide superior products and services to our customers in a cost efficient manner, and taking into consideration broad economic uncertainties.
