Headcount related restructuring and severance charges of $3.8 million recorded in the second quarter of 2018 are related to costs incurred in order to recognize future synergies as the Company continues to identify efficiencies with the integration of OnX. In addition, a restructuring charge associated with lease abandonment of $0.8 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2018 related to an office space that will no longer be utilized. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company made severance payments related to employee separations associated with initiatives to reduce costs within our legacy copper network and headcount reductions in our IT Services and Hardware segment.
Lease abandonment costs represent future minimum lease obligations, net of expected sublease income, for abandoned facilities. Lease payments on abandoned facilities will continue through 2020.
