the closure of a facility included in the 2023 Restructuring Plan and (2) $1.6&nbsp;million of inventory written off for end of life transceiver products we have discontinued manufacturing after fulfilling a last time buy for a customer. The

the amounts are manufacturing departments&#146; unabsorbed overhead costs for facilities, depreciation, and labor, in manufacturing locations where we are no longer taking new orders and are either no longer producing product for sale or are only
fulfilling remaining orders (low volume) and are in the process of closing down those sites. As we are no longer producing products or are winding down production at these sites, the Company does not believe the manufacturing inefficiency charges

process of shutting down the manufacturing facility to move production to lower cost facilities in other geographies and we are no longer fully utilizing the manufacturing plant to produce product for sale as we are in the process of moving

site are training personnel at receiving sites for the transition of the production of products and research and development activities to other manufacturing sites. We are including the costs related to the Santa Clara, CA employees for the time
they spend working with their counterparts at receiving sites as they are working together as a team to produce one set of products or complete an R&amp;D project; e.g., labor of two individuals is only producing one widget. Travel costs, totaling

closure process. The program was designed to prevent premature departures that could disrupt operations and delay the Santa Clara, CA site closure process. These costs are in addition to their &#147;normal&#148; salaries and only being paid as a

These retention costs were payments to critical employees of Coherent, Inc., in addition to their &#147;normal&#148; salaries, to encourage them to remain for a period of time (generally six months) to facilitate the close and integration of the
acquisition of Coherent, Inc. This was a significant acquisition to the Company, and the Company believes these additional incremental costs are not reflective of normal operations. The Company does not believe the retention costs result in <FONT

the Santa Clara, CA facility is being ceased and being moved to other lower cost sites in a phased move process spanning fiscal 2024 and 2025, resulting in the closure of the manufacturing facility. The accelerated depreciation charges of
$2.7&nbsp;million included in the &#147;Accelerated depreciation for equipment and leasehold improvements at sites, including those in our Synergy and Site Consolidation Plan&#148; line in the chart above in our year ended June&nbsp;30, 2022 relates
to shutdown of certain manufacturing product lines in our Warren facility and their transfer to another manufacturing facility. The accelerated depreciation is the result of shortening the useful lives on manufacturing equipment and related clean
room improvements that will not be moved with the transfer of production to other sites and the closure of the Santa Clara, CA manufacturing facility. We have characterized the incremental depreciation expense resulting from the shortening of the
useful lives as a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> charge as the incremental depreciation (in excess of that which is recorded based on the original useful lives) relates to specific discrete events that are not reflective of our
