EMPLOYEE SEPARATION AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS
Note 5 — EMPLOYEE SEPARATION AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS
We are engaged in a restructuring program associated with our integration of Clariant Color. These actions are expected to enable us to better serve customers, improve efficiency and deliver cost savings. We expect that the full restructuring plan will be implemented through 2024 and anticipate that we will incur approximately $75.0 million of charges in connection with the restructuring plan. As of September 30, 2023, $59.5 million had been incurred.
A summary of the Clariant Color integration restructuring is shown below:

Personnel reductions were taken in the first half of 2023 as a result of slowing global demand, which resulted in a charge of $0.7 million and $15.7 million recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
