RESTRUCTURING
2011 Restructuring
During the third quarter of 2011, the Company initiated operational changes that resulted in severance costs of $2.8 largely to reduce headcount and align resources to future business needs. This charge was offset by a $2.8 reduction to previously established facility-related reserves, as described below. The $2.8 of severance-related charges were comprised of $1.6 at Information Management, $1.0 at Customer Management and $0.2 at Corporate. Severance actions impact approximately 100 professional employees worldwide and charges will largely be paid in cash pursuant to the Company’s existing severance policy and employment agreements. These actions are expected to be substantially completed by the middle of 2012.
Restructuring liability activity for the 2011 severance plan, the balance of which is included within Payables, deferred revenue and other current liabilities on the Company’s balance sheets, consisted of the following:

2010 Restructuring
As discussed more fully in the “Restructuring” footnote of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, during 2010, the Company initiated a restructuring plan and incurred a total charge of $36.7 consisting of $22.4 of severance-related charges and $14.3 of facility-related charges. The $22.4 of severance-related charges were comprised of $13.3 at Customer Management and $3.0 at Information Management, largely to reduce headcount and align resources to future business needs, and $6.1 at Corporate to further simplify operations and to reflect the impact of the sale of the HR Management line of business. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded a charge of $17.6, including $10.8 of severance-related charges and $6.8 of facility-related charges. The $10.8 of severance-related charges were comprised of $8.5 at Customer Management and $2.3 at Corporate. The full-year severance charge of $22.4 is largely being paid in cash pursuant to the Company’s existing severance policy and employment agreements. When completed, these actions will affect approximately 1,000 professional employees and approximately 1,400 non-salaried employees worldwide and are expected to be mostly completed by the end of 2011. The facility-related charge of $14.3 relates to lease rent accruals and penalties for properties that have closed as the result of consolidating facilities and shifting capacity. The charge is equal to the future costs associated with the facility, net of proceeds from any probable future sublease agreements. The fair value measurement utilized internal discounted cash flows, which is a Level 3 input. The Company used estimates, based on consultation with the Company’s real estate advisors, to determine the proceeds from any future sublease agreements. The Company will continue to evaluate these estimates in recording the facilities abandonment charge. Consequently, there may be additional reversals or charges relating to these facility closures in the future. Therefore, facility-related reserves are maintained on a facility basis rather than a restructuring charge event basis. At September 30, 2011, the facility-related restructuring reserve for all reserved facilities had an outstanding balance of $11.0, which will be paid out over several years until the leases expire.
Restructuring liability activity for the 2010 severance plan consisted of the following:

2009 Restructuring
During 2009, the Company initiated restructuring plans of $43.3 to reduce headcount and align resources to future business needs. The severance actions were completed as of March 31, 2011. The facility-related charge relates to lease rent accruals for properties that have closed as the result of consolidating facilities, consistent with the methodology discussed in connection with the 2010 restructuring. The facility-related restructuring reserve related to this charge is encompassed within the total outstanding facility balance of $11.0 referred to above, which will be paid over several years until the leases expire.
Facilities Restructuring
The Company's facilities restructuring reserves are equal to the estimated future costs associated with the facilities, net of proceeds from any probable future sublease agreements. The Company uses estimates, based on consultation with the Company’s real estate advisers, to determine the proceeds from any future sublease agreements. The Company continues to evaluate these estimates in recording the facilities abandonment charge. Based upon early termination and settlement of a lease for a previously abandoned facility during the third quarter of 2011 and review of estimated future costs for other facilities, the Company recorded a net benefit of $2.8 to reduce the remaining reserves. Restructuring liability activity for the facilities plans consisted of the following:
