RESTRUCTURING COSTS
Restructuring charges include severance costs, lease termination fees, legal and professional fees paid for lease termination negotiations, and other costs associated with the closure of facilities that are part of formal restructuring plans. Severance benefits are detailed in approved severance plans, which are specific as to number, position, location and timing. In addition, severance benefits are communicated in specific detail to affected employees and are unlikely to change when costs are recorded. Costs are recognized over the period services are rendered, otherwise they are recognized when they are communicated to the employees. These costs are not material to any reportable segment. Other associated costs, such as legal and professional fees, are expensed as incurred. Accrued liabilities related to costs associated with restructuring activities outstanding as of December 29, 2012 were $0.9 million. Restructuring charges are expected to be fully paid by April 2019, and the cumulative amount incurred through December 29, 2012 is $20.2 million. The restructuring charges are reflected on the consolidated statement of income on the restructuring costs (recoveries) line.
Costs and obligations (included in “Accrued liabilities” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets) recorded in 2012, 2011 and 2010 in conjunction with the restructuring costs are as follows (in thousands):
