24. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

In June 2022, the Board of Directors approved a strategic integration and cost optimization initiative that includes a global workforce reduction, facilities consolidation, and other operational savings measures. As part of the facilities consolidation, the Company approved plans to sell two facilities and relocate operations from those locations to existing facilities. The purpose of the Initiative is to streamline the Company’s operational structure, reducing its operating expenses and managing its cash flows.

In January 2023, the Company committed to additional actions to continue and expand the Initiative, resulting in an estimated $19.6 million to $26.0 million of total restructuring costs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded the following activity related to the Initiative in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the balance sheet (in thousands):
