Under the VRP, Media employees meeting certain eligibility requirements were offered buyout payments in exchange for voluntarily retiring. Eligible non-union employees had until April 7, 2016, to retire under the plan. In 2016, based on acceptances received, we recorded $16.0 million of severance expense. Upon separation, employees accepting the VRP received salary continuation payments primarily based on years of service, the majority of which will occur evenly over the 12-month period following separation date. As of March 31, 2017, we had approximately $1.5 million of VRP buyout obligation remaining and we expect the majority of this severance obligation will be paid by the end of June 2017.
