Fiscal 2013 Restructuring Program.    In April 2013, we implemented a plan to reorganize certain activities and personnel within our marketing function under a strategic restructuring program, and as a result, recognized $5.9 million in restructuring costs during fiscal 2013. This charge included $2.8 million in severance and other related benefits offered to 36 employees that were affected as a result of this action and $1.9 million of stock-based compensation expense for previously awarded grants that vested through the second quarter of fiscal 2014 pursuant to their original vesting schedule. Expenses of $1.2 million associated with the exit of a facility leased from our principal stockholder in Wootton Basset, U.K. are also included in restructuring charges in the fiscal 2013 consolidated statements of operations.
During fiscal 2014, we recognized a $0.7 million credit representing the release of a facility exit obligation accrued under this plan following the sale of certain property located in Wootton Bassett, U.K. Changes in restructuring accruals under the fiscal 2013 restructuring program were as follows (in thousands):
