Severance and Reorganization

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company implemented a cost reduction and reorganization plan (the “Plan”) and incurred approximately $5.5 million of severance and reorganization charges due to reductions in workforce. The Plan has been implemented due to the sharp decline in oil and natural gas prices as well as the growing negative economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The charges have been presented within the caption Severance and reorganization charges on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. We expect to incur an additional $0.9 million in severance and reorganization charges, and settle the remaining termination benefits, by September 30, 2020. The severance and reorganization amounts provided to former employees will be settled with cash and the vesting of 2.2 million restricted stock units that may be settled, at our election, with either cash, stock or a combination thereof. We have settled $0.5 million of the severance and reorganization charges during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
