2020 Restructuring Plan The Company’s 2020 restructuring program, which was initiated during the second quarter of 2020 in response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, was designed to reduce overhead costs, streamline certain underperforming operations and improve future profitability. Restructuring costs associated with this program, which primarily relate to the Home Solutions and Commercial Solutions segments, include employee-related costs, including severance and other termination benefits. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded charges of $8 million in connection with the program. The Company currently estimates aggregate restructuring charges of approximately $10 million associated with this program to be incurred over the entirety of 2020. All cash payments are expected to be paid within one year of charges incurred. Accelerated Transformation Plan The Company’s ATP, which was initiated during the first quarter of 2018 and completed at the end of 2019, was designed in part, to divest the Company’s non-core consumer businesses and focus on the realignment of the Company’s management structure and overall cost structure as a result of the completed divestitures. Restructuring costs associated with the ATP included employee-related costs, including severance, retirement and other termination benefits, as well as contract termination costs and other costs. Other Restructuring-Related Costs The Company regularly incurs other restructuring-related costs in connection with various discrete initiatives which are recorded in cost of products sold and selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations based on the nature of the underlying costs incurred.
