Note Q – Charges related to restructuring activities

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company reconfigured one of its operations within its Asia Pacific segment by reducing its workforce and manufacturing facilities while outsourcing production predominantly to its locations with lower cost operations.  This was done in response to a slowdown in economic activity in the region as well as continued downward market pressure on prices.   Additionally, the Company initiated a reconfiguration in the PLP-USA segment which was primarily a reduction in personnel and facilities in response to downward market pressure on prices.  Both of these actions reduced infrastructure and manufacturing costs.  There was $.1 million and $4.0 million of expense recognized in the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The restructuring liability related to lease termination costs at December 31, 2016 of $.5 million was recorded in Accrued expenses.
