_______________________ (1)Severance costs in the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were primarily related to restructuring activities in connection with cost-saving initiatives and recent acquisitions. (2)During the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, the Company has incurred certain costs primarily related to incremental costs required to adhere to health and safety protocols and other incremental costs associated with the COVID-19 global pandemic. In the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, these costs were primarily related to transitioning the Company to a remote-work environment and other incremental costs associated with the COVID-19 global pandemic. (3)Transaction and related costs in the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 reflect transaction, integration and legal costs associated with certain strategic transactions, restructuring activities and legal matters. (4)In connection with the disruptions associated with the COVID-19 global pandemic and measures to prevent its spread and mitigate its effects both domestically and internationally, and the related economic disruption, including the worldwide closure of theaters, international travel restrictions and the pausing of motion picture and television productions, during the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 the Company incurred certain incremental costs which were expensed in the period. The charges (benefit) included in direct operating expense includes incremental costs associated with the pausing and restarting of productions including certain cast and crew, idle facilities and equipment costs resulting from circumstances associated with the COVID-19 global pandemic, net of insurance recoveries, and in the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, these charges also included film impairment due to changes in performance expectations resulting from circumstances associated with the COVID-19 global pandemic. In the three months ended September 30, 2021, insurance recoveries exceeded the incremental costs expensed in the period, resulting in a net benefit included in direct operating expense. In addition, the costs included in distribution and marketing expense primarily consist of contractual marketing spends for film releases and events that have been canceled or delayed and will provide no economic benefit. The Company is in the process of seeking additional insurance recovery for some of these costs. The ultimate amount of insurance recovery cannot be estimated at this time. Changes in the restructuring and other severance liability were as follows for the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:
