RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

(15) RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

In the fourth quarter of 2018, we finalized plans to abandon duplicate office facilities with lease terms expiring between 2023 and 2026 in St. Rose and New Orleans, Louisiana, Houston, Texas and Aberdeen, Scotland.  These closures resulted in $7.3 million and $5.9 million, respectively, lease exit and severance charges in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the first three quarters of 2019. These charges are included in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations.

Activity for the lease exit and severance liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was as follows:
