Restructuring and Other Charges, Net
RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES, NET
Restructuring and other charges primarily consist of separation costs for employees including severance, outplacement and other benefit costs.
2019 Severance Charges
During the first quarter of 2019, the Company incurred severance charges of $16.2 million related to approximately 190 headcount reductions. The headcount reductions primarily related to the Scent business unit with additional amounts related to headcount reductions in all business units associated with the establishment of a new shared service center in Europe. The Company made payments of $0.9 million related to personnel costs during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
2017 Productivity Program
In connection with 2017 Productivity Program, the Company expects to incur cumulative, pre-tax cash charges of between $30-$35 million, consisting primarily of $24-$26 million in personnel-related costs and an estimated $6 million in facility-related costs, such as lease termination, and integration-related costs. The Company recorded $24.5 million of charges related to personnel costs and lease termination costs through the first quarter of 2019.
The Company made payments of $0.5 million and $1.7 million related to personnel costs during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, as well as lease termination costs for March 31, 2018. The overall charges were split approximately evenly between Taste and Scent. This initiative is expected to result in the reduction of approximately 370 members of the Company’s global workforce, including acquired entities, in various parts of the organization.
Changes in restructuring liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2019, including both the 2019 severance charges and the 2017 Productivity Program, were as follows:
