Cost Re-Engineering Plan
Note 2 - Cost Re-Engineering Plan

In February 2020, we announced our intention to implement certain cost re-engineering initiatives in 2020 to generate further cost savings. During the second quarter of 2020, we executed some of these cost re-engineering initiatives with the partial abandonment of one of our leased properties and additional severance costs. As a result of these initiatives, we accelerated the depreciation of the related facility lease right of use (ROU) asset and leasehold improvements by $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2020, recorded a $3.2 million facility exit cost liability and recorded a $1.0 million employee severance cost liability.
In February 2019, we announced our intention to execute cost re-engineering opportunities in order to drive stronger financial performance and, in the longer term, simplify our operations. Our cost re-engineering plan extended beyond eliminating redundant costs through the integration process and addressed organizational, process and control redesign and automation, human capital planning, off-shore utilization, strategic sourcing and facilities rationalization. Costs for this plan included severance, retention and other incentive awards, facilities-related costs and other costs to execute the reorganization. While we continue to pursue additional cost re-engineering initiatives, this $65.0 million cost re-engineering plan announced in February 2019 was completed by December 31, 2019. Our remaining liability at June 30, 2020 is $3.3 million and is included in Other accrued expenses, a component of Other liabilities.
