Note 18. Restructuring Charges

GES

As part of our efforts to drive efficiencies and simplify our business operations, we took certain restructuring actions designed to reduce our cost structure primarily within GES. As a result of COVID-19, we implemented aggressive cost reduction initiatives in 2020 and recorded certain restructuring charges.

Other Restructurings

We recorded restructuring charges in connection with the consolidation of certain support functions at our corporate headquarters. These charges primarily consist of severance and related benefits due to headcount reductions and charges related to the downsizing of facilities.

Changes to the restructuring liability by major restructuring activity are as follows:

As of June 30, 2020, we expect to pay all but $1.5 million of the liabilities related to severance and employee benefits by the end of 2020. The liability related to future lease payments will be paid over the remaining lease terms. Refer to Note 22 Segment Information, for information regarding restructuring charges by segment.
