Reduction in Force

On January 12, 2017, we announced a reduction in force plan affecting approximately 7% of our U.S. employee base, excluding Ticketfly. In the six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred approximately $6.0 million of cash expenditures, substantially all of which are related to employee severance and benefits costs. In the six months ended June 30, 2017, total reduction in force expenses were $5.6 million, which was lower than cash reduction in force costs due to a credit related to non-cash stock-based compensation expense reversals for unvested equity awards. The reduction in force plan was completed and all amounts were paid in the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Australia and New Zealand Exit Costs

On June 27, 2017, we announced a plan to discontinue business activities in Australia and New Zealand. The related restructuring charges in the three months ended June 30, 2017 relate primarily to a reduction of headcount of approximately 50 employees, which resulted in employee severance and benefits costs, less a credit related to non-cash stock-based compensation expense reversals for unvested equity awards. The dissolution of the Australia and New Zealand business operations is expected to be completed in the three months ended September 30, 2017. We expect to incur additional costs related to the termination of certain advertising agreements and lease agreements and other restructuring charges in the three months ending September 30, 2017. We do not expect these restructuring charges to have a material impact on our financial statements.
