Merger Acquisition and Other Integration Expenses |
15. | Merger, Acquisition and Other Integration Expenses
In connection with the Merger and other related activities, we have incurred significant transaction, integration, and transitional costs. These costs include investment banker advisory fees; legal, tax, accounting and valuation fees; termination and severance costs (both cash and stock based compensation awards) for terminated and transitional employees; system conversion costs; and other integration costs. These costs are expensed as incurred. The costs that were obligations of AMB and expensed pre-Merger are not included in our Consolidated Financial Statements. At the time of the Merger, we terminated our existing credit facilities and wrote-off the remaining unamortized deferred loan costs associated with such facilities, which is included as a merger expense. In addition, we have included costs associated with the acquisition of a controlling interest in PEPR (see Note 3) and the reduction in workforce charges associated with dispositions made in 2011. We expect to continue to recognize costs, primarily compensation and severance costs for transitional employees and system conversion and implementation costs through the end of 2012 as incurred. The following is a breakdown of the costs incurred during 2011 (in thousands):
|  | 2011 |
Termination, severance and transitional employee costs |  | $ | 58,445 |
Professional fees |  |  | 46,467 |
Office closure, travel and other costs |  |  | 24,714 |
Write-off of deferred loan costs |  |  | 10,869 |
Total |  | $ | 140,495 |
