Merger Transaction and Integration Costs | Merger Integration and Transaction Costs Merger integration costs represent costs incurred to achieve synergies related to the merger of Dex One and SuperMedia. These costs include severance, professional fees and contract services. As part of the merger, there are a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems that must be integrated. These costs are recorded as part of general and administrative expense on the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 the Company incurred $8 million and $26 million, respectively, of merger integration costs, of which $3 million and $13 million, respectively, represents severance costs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company incurred $28 million of merger integration costs, of which $19 million represents severance costs. Merger transaction costs represent costs associated with completing the merger between Dex One and SuperMedia. The Company cumulatively incurred $42 million of merger transaction costs. Of this amount, $8 million represents deferred financing costs associated with the amendments of Dex One's senior secured credit facilities. This amount was recorded to other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheet and will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the related Dex One senior secured credit facilities using the effective interest method. The remainder of these costs, which include one-time costs associated with investment bankers, legal, and professional fees, were expensed as part of general and administrative expense on the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss). Of these costs, $9 million and $19 million was incurred and expensed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and are reflected as general and administrative expense on the Company's consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss). No merger transaction costs were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The following table sets forth merger integration and transaction costs recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
