NOTE 3. RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT

Fiscal 2015

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $17 million and $21 million, respectively, of which $14 million and $18 million, respectively, related to the newspaper businesses. The restructuring charges recorded in fiscal 2015 were primarily for employee termination benefits.

Fiscal 2014

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $24 million and $51 million, respectively, of which $21 million and $44 million, respectively, related to the newspaper businesses.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company reached an agreement to sell one of its U.S. printing plants. The carrying value of the plant was more than the net proceeds the Company received in January 2014 by approximately $12 million which was recorded as an impairment charge during the three and six months ended December 31, 2013.
