Restructuring Charges | Note 17. Restructuring Charges The Company has taken certain restructuring actions designed to reduce the Company’s cost structure primarily within GES U.S. and GES International, as well as the elimination of certain positions at the corporate office. As a result, the Company recorded restructuring charges primarily consisting of severance and related benefits as a result of workforce reductions and charges related to the consolidation and downsizing of facilities representing the remaining operating lease obligations (net of estimated sublease income) and related costs. Changes to the restructuring liability by major restructuring activity are as follows:
