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 restructuring plan will be primarily implemented by the end of 2024 and anticipate that we will incur approximately $75.0 million of charges in connection with the restructuring plan. As of December 31, 2023, $60.3 million has been incurred.
A summary of the Clariant Color integration restructuring is shown below:

Additional charges, primarily personnel reductions, taken throughout 2023 due to slowing global demand resulted in costs of $18.3 million recorded. Cash payments of $14.2 million were made in relation to these reductions throughout 2023.
