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.  Those closures resulted in $7.3 million and $6.8 million, respectively, of lease exit and severance charges in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2019.  These charges are included in general and administrative expense in our consolidated Statement of Operations.
