The Company also incurred CEO transition costs in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, related primarily to an employment agreement with an executive officer, and retention agreements with certain senior executives.

The expense is being recognized over the estimated service period of these agreements. The Company has accrued $0.8 million as at March 31, 2013 relating to the retention agreements, for which the total expense may be up to $2.8 million.
