Restructuring activities During 2021, as a result of the sale of our Wireless assets and operations, we implemented a restructuring plan whereby certain employees were notified of their pending dismissal under the workforce reduction program. We made $1.7 million and $2.1 million in severance payments for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized expenses of $1.7 million and $2.2 million, presented in continuing and discontinued operations, respectively. Asset Retirement Obligations: Our asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) arise from certain of our leases and generally require us to remove our towers from ground leases. Current ARO liabilities are recorded in accrued liabilities and other in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Below is a summary of our current and non-current asset retirement obligations:
