| Restructuring and Other Charges |
In the third quarter of 2024, the 2024 Restructuring Plan was announced, subsequently approved and committed to by our management team, and initiated to implement cost-reduction measures, including reductions in employee headcount, other operating and non-operating expenditures, and capital expenditures. Restructuring charges are primarily comprised of employee severance and benefit arrangements, non-cash charges related to asset impairments associated with exit activities, as well as charges relating to real estate exits and consolidations. These charges were included as "corporate unallocated expenses" within the restructuring and other category presented in "Note 2: Operating Segments" within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. We expect to recognize total charges of approximately $3.0 billion under the 2024 Restructuring Plan, the substantial majority of which will be cash settled in future periods. The cumulative cost of the 2024 Restructuring Plan as of September 28, 2024 was $2.8 billion. Any changes to our estimates or timing will be reflected in our results of operations in future periods. We expect actions pursuant to the 2024 Restructuring Plan to be substantially complete by the fourth quarter of 2025, which is subject to change.
Employee severance and benefit arrangements includes charges of $2.2 billion in the third quarter of 2024 relating to the 2024 Restructuring Plan. Charges relating to other actions taken to streamline operations and to reduce costs were $294 million in the nine months ended September 28, 2024, which we expect will be substantially complete by the fourth quarter of 2024. We expect employee severance and benefit-related actions resulting from our 2024 Restructuring Plan to be substantially complete by the fourth quarter of 2025, which is subject to change. Charges accrued as of September 28, 2024 were recorded as current liabilities within accrued compensation and benefits on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Charges in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily related to the 2022 Restructuring Program, which was completed in the first quarter of 2024.
Litigation charges and other includes a charge of $780 million in the second quarter of 2024 arising out of the R2 litigation. In the third quarter of 2023, we recorded a $401 million charge for an EC-imposed fine. Refer to "Note 14: Contingencies" within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for information about these items. Also, in the third quarter of 2023, we incurred and paid a termination fee of $353 million in connection with our inability to timely obtain required regulatory approvals needed to acquire Tower Semiconductor, Ltd. (Tower).
Asset impairment charges in the third quarter of 2024 primarily includes cash and non-cash charges associated with the 2024 Restructuring Plan, including $442 million of non-cash impairments of construction in progress assets associated with our decision to exit and outsource manufacturing capabilities for certain internal test hardware; and $86 million of non-cash impairments of operating leased assets and related leasehold improvements resulting from real estate consolidations and exits. Real estate consolidations and exits did not materially change our operating lease liabilities and may result in future cash outlays for facility restoration or the relocation of operations. These impairments were recorded within property, plant, and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, except for the impairment of operating leased assets of $72 million which were recorded within other long-term assets on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as of September 28, 2024.
In addition, we recorded non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $2.8 billion and $3.0 billion in the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, respectively (see "Note 10: Goodwill" within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). Further, in the third quarter of 2024, as a result of a decline in the actual and projected undiscounted cash flows for certain acquired intangible assets, we concluded the assets were not recoverable and recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $108 million. Goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges were included as "corporate unallocated expenses" within the restructuring and other category presented in "Note 2: Operating Segments" within Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
