SPECIAL CHARGES

Special charges in the three months ended March 31, 2019, consisted of a gain of $0.1 million for the reversal of accrued termination benefits related to unvested employee departures. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, special charges totaled $0.6 million, consisting of estimated employee termination benefits of $0.7 million and advisory costs related to updating the Company’s information technology systems of $0.1 million, partially offset by a gain of $0.2 million for the reversal of accrued termination benefits related to unvested employee departures.

Workforce reductions have resulted from evolving business needs and the completion of the demonstration of American Centrifuge technology at the Company’s facility in Piketon, Ohio. Without mutual agreement between Centrus and DOE regarding other possible uses for the Piketon facility, the remaining balance of termination benefits of $3.2 million related to the Piketon facility is expected to be paid in the third quarter of 2019 and is classified in Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. A summary of termination benefit activity and related liabilities follows (in millions):
