Severance charges incurred in 2016 and 2015 related to staff reductions as we continue to match our employee levels with operational requirements and to a sales management realignment. Approximately $1.8 million of severance charges incurred in 2015 related to the departure of a former executive. The balance of accrued severance liabilities as of December 31, 2016 is expected to be paid during 2017.
