Restructuring and Management Transition
Restructuring and Management Transition

On March 17, 2017, the Company finalized its plans to close 138 stores to help align the Company's brick-and-mortar presence with its omnichannel network, thereby redirecting capital resources to invest in locations and initiatives that offer the greatest revenue potential. The store closures resulted in a $77 million asset impairment charge for store assets with limited future use and a $14 million severance charge for the expected displacement of store associates. During 2017, $52 million in store related closing and other costs such as certain lease obligations were recorded as a result of each respective store ceasing operations.
The components of Restructuring and management transition include:
•
Home office and stores -- charges for actions to reduce our store and home office expenses including employee termination benefits, store lease termination and impairment charges;
•
Management transition -- charges related to implementing changes within our management leadership team for both incoming and outgoing members of management; and
•
Other -- charges related primarily to contract termination costs and costs related to the closure of certain supply chain locations.
