On January 10, 2019, the Company committed to a restructuring plan that will result in the closure of the Canton, Massachusetts facility (“Canton Facility”) which is expected by March 31, 2020 and the consolidation of manufacturing operations at that site into other Company locations (“Canton Restructuring”). Company management informed employees at the Canton Facility of this restructuring decision on January 11, 2019. The estimated costs for the Canton Restructuring include employee severance and termination costs, contract terminations costs, professional fees and other related costs.

The Company recognized expense of $3,607 and $9,275, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 as a result of these actions for employee termination benefits and other restructuring related costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 severance and other restructuring related costs of $2,567, $287 and $753 were recognized in COGS, SG&A and D&D, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
