Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | 17. SEVERANCE AND OTHER CHARGES During the year ended December 28, 2013, the Company incurred one-time charges related to three endeavors: 1) facilities consolidation charges - the Company elected to consolidate its Canadian operations by consolidating its Mississauga location into its expanded Pickering location, and the Company closed its Mason, Ohio office. The costs associated with the consolidation of offices in Canada primarily related to statutory severance requirements resulting from labor laws in Canada. The charges associated with the Company’s closed Mason, Ohio office represent future rent payments whereby the Company will not utilize the premises; 2) the Company engaged in a contested proxy solicitation which culminated in a group of stockholders winning two seats on the Company’s board of directors and the subsequent retirement of its former President and Chief Executive Officer, Leon Kopyt; and 3) the Company incurred professional fees connected with a research and development tax credit study related to prior tax years. The Company incurred $0.1 million in severance and other charges for the fifty-three week period ended January 3, 2015 and $5.2 million for the comparable prior year period. The costs in the current period primarily related to professional fees associated with the settlement agreements entered into following the Company’s fiscal 2013 proxy contest.
