Subsequent to the transition agreements, Eagle Ocean Transport continues to incur related travel costs for certain transitioned employees as well as office-related costs, for which we reimbursed Eagle Ocean Transport $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Such expenses are reimbursed based on their actual cost.
