Home office and stores
During the six months ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, we recorded $12 million and $32 million, respectively, of charges for actions taken to reduce our home office and store expenses. In January 2014, we announced the closing of 33 department stores as part of our turnaround efforts. During the first half of 2014, we incurred charges of $12 million for employee termination benefits and lease termination costs associated with the closure of 32 of those stores. We expect to close the remaining store during the third quarter of 2014. The $32 million of charges in the first half of 2013 were associated with employee termination benefits.
Store fixtures
During the three months ended August 3, 2013, we recorded $1 million of charges for the write-off of store fixtures related to the renovations in our home department and $16 million of increased depreciation as a result of shortening the useful lives of fixtures in our department stores that were replaced during 2013.

During the six months ended August 3, 2013, we recorded $7 million of charges for the write-off of store fixtures related to the renovations in our home department and $29 million of increased depreciation as a result of shortening the useful lives of fixtures in our department stores that were replaced during 2013. In addition, during the six months ended August 3, 2013, we recorded $9 million of charges for the impairment of certain store fixtures related to our former shops strategy that were used in our prototype department store.
Management transition
During the three months ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, we implemented several changes within our management leadership team that resulted in management transition costs of $1 million and $13 million, respectively, for both incoming and outgoing members of management. During the six months ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, we recorded charges of $8 million and $29 million, respectively.
Other
During the three months ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, we recorded $4 million and $13 million, respectively, of miscellaneous restructuring charges. During the six months ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, we recorded $7 million and $13 million, respectively, of miscellaneous restructuring charges. The charges during both years were related primarily to contract termination costs associated with our previous marketing and shops strategy.
