Note 10: Restructuring

During the fourth quarter of 2013, as a result of a comprehensive operational review, we committed to a restructuring plan intended to, among other things, better align our cost structure with revenue growth in our core businesses. As part of the plan, we discontinued the Rubi, Crisp Market, and Star Studio concepts (see Note 12: Discontinued Operations for further information). Also as part of the restructuring plan, we implemented actions to reduce costs in our continuing operations primarily through workforce reductions across the Company. The closure of all discontinued ventures and the workforce reductions were completed in 2014 and we expect no further restructuring charges.

The detail of restructuring charges incurred by reportable segment (on an allocated basis) and expense type is as follows:



Dollars in thousands	Cumulative as of December 31, 2014		Year Ended December 31, 2014		Year Ended December 31, 2013
