Pursuant to their respective employment and/or separation agreements, (a) they are to receive an aggregate of approximately $3.7 million in cash severance payments (including the cost of related payroll taxes and benefits, and substantially all of which has been funded), and (b) all of their unvested restricted share grants became vested and all related amounts were written off (an aggregate of approximately $2.0 million – see "Stock-Based Compensation" below). Together with approximately $0.8 million of other non-recurring costs, primarily professional fees and expenses related to the hiring of a new President/Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company recorded an aggregate of approximately $6.5 million as "management transition charges".
