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.

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company reached a decision to cease most of its food delivery operations and it entered into a long-term commercial agreement with a subsidiary of Grubhub that will allow the Company to provide customers with the ability to order food delivery through the Company’s websites and mobile applications in the United States from Grubhub’s network of restaurant merchants. Additionally, the Company entered into an agreement to sell customer lists and other intangible assets in certain food delivery markets to Grubhub. See Note 3, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for additional information. For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company’s restructuring costs associated with ceasing those food delivery operations were $2.6 million, primarily relating to employee severance.

From the inception of its restructuring plan in September 2015 through September 30, 2017, the Company has incurred cumulative costs for employee severance and benefits and other exit costs of $80.2 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 actions under the Company's restructuring plan are substantially complete as of September 30, 2017.
