Reorganization and Business Transformation Reorganization and Business Transformation
On June 4, 2018, the Company approved a plan to consolidate certain of its operations, including transitioning its corporate headquarters to San Diego, California from its location in Dayton, Ohio. This plan, which is being executed in connection with Teradata’s comprehensive business transformation from a data warehouse company to a data analytics platform company, is intended to better align the Company’s skills and resources to effectively pursue opportunities in the marketplace. The Company recognized costs of $23 million in 2018 and $13 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 for employee separation benefits, transition support, facilities lease related costs, outside service, legal and other exit-related costs. The employee separation benefit costs are being expensed over the time period that the employees have to work to earn them. The Company expects that it will incur costs and charges in the range of approximately $36 to $40 million related to the plan and expects the actions will be completed in 2019.
Cash paid in 2018 related to the plan listed above was $11 million. The 2019 activity and the reserves related to the plan are as follows:
