Severance, restructuring and other costs
 
During 2008, we incurred severance, restructuring and other costs of $22.1 million related primarily to the realignment of our commercial activities in Tysabri for CD and the announced closure of our offices in New York and Tokyo, which occurred in March 2009.
 
During 2007, we incurred severance, restructuring and other costs of $32.4 million arising principally from the restructuring of our commercial infrastructure and consolidation of our U.S. West Coast locations, which resulted in the closure of the San Diego facility and the expansion of our operations in South San Francisco. The restructuring of our commercial infrastructure was primarily a result of the approval of a generic form of Maxipime and the anticipated approval of a generic form of Azactam.

During 2006, the net severance, restructuring and other costs of $7.5 million were related to the realignment of our resources to meet our business structure at that time. The restructuring and severance charges in 2006 were primarily related to the consolidation of our Biopharmaceuticals R&D activities into our South San Francisco facility. These charges arose from termination of certain operating leases, reduction of headcount and relocation of employees, and they also included the reversal of a $9.4 million charge for future lease payments on an unutilized facility in South San Francisco. As a part of the restructuring of our Biopharmaceuticals R&D activities, this facility was brought back into use.
