Note 10 — Restructuring Charges

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company initiated plans to reduce excess capacity associated with the manufacture and support of the Company’s advanced packaging lithography and 3D wafer inspection systems by consolidating these operations into its San Jose, California facility. As a result of this and other cost saving initiatives, the Company announced headcount reductions of approximately 40 employees. During the year ended December 31, 2019, additional accruals were recognized and payments were made related to these restructuring initiatives.

The Company continued to record restructuring charges during the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of its efforts to further streamline operations, enhance efficiencies, and reduce costs. In the second half of 2019, the Company executed an initiative to reorganize various functions along product lines and created a central research and development organization to better allocate its resources to the Company’s highest priority projects. In addition, the Company delayered the organization. Collectively, these actions impacted approximately 60 employees.

The following table shows the amounts incurred and paid for restructuring activities during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017 and the remaining accrued balance of restructuring costs at December 31, 2019, which is included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets:
