RESTRUCTURING

In September 2015, the Company commenced a restructuring plan relating primarily to workforce reductions in its international operations. The Company has also undertaken workforce reductions in its North America segment. In addition to workforce reductions in its ongoing markets, the Company ceased operations in 17 countries within its International segment as part of the restructuring plan between September 2015 and March 2016. Those country exits, which generally comprised the Company's smallest international markets, resulted from a series of separate decisions made at different times during that period that were not part of an overall strategic shift. Costs related to the restructuring plan are classified as "Restructuring charges" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

From the inception of its restructuring plan in September 2015 through June 30, 2017, the Company has incurred cumulative costs for employee severance and benefits and other exit costs of $68.7 million under the plan. In addition to those costs, the Company has incurred cumulative long-lived asset impairment charges of $7.5 million resulting from its restructuring activities. The Company currently expects the actions under its restructuring plan to be substantially complete by September 2017.
