As part of restructuring and integration activities the Company has incurred expenses that qualify as exit and disposal costs under U.S. GAAP. These include severance and employee benefit costs as well as other direct separation benefit costs. Severance and employee benefit costs primarily relate to cash severance, non-cash severance, including accelerated equity award compensation expense. The Company also incurs expenses that are an integral component of, and directly attributable to, our restructuring and integration activities, which do not qualify as exit and disposal costs under U.S. GAAP. These include integration implementation costs that relate primarily to professional fees and non-cash losses incurred on debt extinguishment.

The expense associated with integration initiatives are included in Selling, general and administrative and the expense associated with restructuring activities are included in Restructuring expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Non-cash costs related to debt extinguishment in the financing of the transaction is recorded in Other expense (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Following the Knoll acquisition, the Company announced a multi-year program (the "Knoll Integration") designed to reduce costs and integrate and optimize the combined organization. The Company currently expects that the Knoll Integration will result in pre-tax cash costs that are expected to be approximately $140 million, comprised of the following categories:

•Severance and employee benefit costs associated with plans to integrate our operating structure, resulting in workforce reductions. These costs will primarily include: severance and employee benefits (cash severance, non-cash severance, including accelerated stock-compensation award expense and other termination benefits).

•Exit and disposal activities include those incurred as a direct result of integration activities, primarily including contract and lease terminations and asset impairment charges.

•Other integration costs include professional fees and other incremental third-party expenses, including a loss on extinguishment of debt associated with financing of the Knoll acquisition.

For the six months ended December 3, 2022, we incurred $8.7 million of costs related to the Knoll Integration including: $1.4 million of severance and employee benefit costs, $2.8 million of lease termination fees, and $4.5 million of other integration costs.
