The Board previously approved other reorganization plans in prior years (the "Previous Plans").

For the year ended December 31,2016, restructuring charges associated with these initiatives primarily included employee separation costs in Europe and Asia Pacific and lease termination payments for rationalized offices and professional fees in Europe under the 2016 Exit Plan and Previous Plans.
