Restructuring costs were predominantly comprised of severance costs, asset impairments, and lease termination costs. Severance and other termination costs relate to efforts to consolidate and streamline various functions of our workforce, both in operations and administrative functions. Asset impairments, including costs incurred for obsolete software, relate to decisions to close certain operations, and lease termination costs related to the exiting of certain leased facilities. These costs were partially offset by certain non-operating credits that occurred related to a cost method investment and sale of internet protocol addresses.
