Home Office and Stores
During the six months ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, we recorded $29 million and $12 million, respectively, of charges for actions taken to reduce our home office and store expenses. In January 2015 and during the second quarter of 2015, we approved the closing of 41 department stores with closing dates all to occur during fiscal 2015. As a result of these approved closures, during the first half of 2015, we incurred charges of $29 million related to employee termination benefits and lease termination costs associated with the closure of 39 of the 41 stores.

Last year we also closed 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 the 33 stores that closed during 2014.
Management Transition
During the six months ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, we implemented changes within our management leadership team that resulted in management transition costs of $7 million and $8 million, respectively, for both incoming and outgoing members of management.
Other
During the six months ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, we recorded $3 million and $7 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 and contract termination costs associated with our previous shops strategy. The 2014 charges were primarily related to contract termination costs associated with our previous shops strategy.
