Separation Costs
EQC Termination and Cooperation Agreement
Pursuant to a Termination and Cooperation Agreement dated September 30, 2014, or the Termination and Cooperation Agreement, EQC and RMR LLC terminated RMR LLC’s business and property management agreements with EQC. As a result, we incurred termination expenses associated with the termination of certain employees. Under the terms of the Termination and Cooperation Agreement, RMR LLC agreed to be financially responsible for certain severance payments to our former employees and EQC agreed to pay certain accrued benefits for certain impacted employees. In accordance with ASC 420, Exit or disposal cost obligations, we recorded one time termination benefits expense for impacted employees through September 30, 2014 of $2,330. We incurred an additional $116 of costs associated with severance and vacation payouts in November 2014, which are reflected in our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.
Pursuant to the Termination and Cooperation Agreement, RMR LLC assisted EQC in the transition of EQC’s management and operations through February 28, 2015, and EQC paid RMR LLC $1,200 per month for transition services from October 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015. Also, we continued to provide certain services for EQC in Australia until October 31, 2015 and earned $58 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 for these services.
