Restructuring Charges

In the fourth quarter of 2011, we announced plans to restructure certain areas of our business in connection with the acquisition of Westwood (the “2011 Program”). The 2011 Program includes charges related to the consolidation of certain operations that reduced our workforce levels, closed certain facilities and terminated certain contracts. These actions are expected to continue into 2012. In connection with the 2011 Program, we recorded $3,131 of costs for the year ended December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2011, liabilities related to restructuring charges of $2,394 are included in accrued expense and other liabilities and are expected to be paid within one year and $1,504 of non-current liabilities are included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

The restructuring charges identified in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 are comprised of the following:
