Home Office and Stores
During the three months ended May 2, 2015 and May 3, 2014, we recorded $14 million and $12 million, respectively, of charges for actions taken to reduce our home office and store expenses. In January 2015, we announced the closing of 40 department stores, and as a result, during the first quarter of 2015, we incurred charges of $14 million related to employee termination benefits and lease termination costs associated with the closure of 35 of the 40 stores.

Last year we also closed stores as part of our turnaround efforts. During the first quarter of 2014, we incurred charges of $12 million for employee termination benefits and lease termination costs associated with the closure of 31 of the 33 stores that closed during 2014.
Management Transition
During the three months ended May 2, 2015 and May 3, 2014, we implemented changes within our management leadership team that resulted in management transition costs of $6 million and $7 million, respectively, for both incoming and outgoing members of management.
Other
During the three months ended May 2, 2015 and May 3, 2014, we recorded $2 million and $3 million, respectively, of miscellaneous restructuring charges. The 2015 charges were related to costs associated with the closure of our Sumner, Washington store merchandise distribution center. The 2014 charges were primarily related to contract termination costs associated with our previous shops strategy.
