We recorded net provisions for employee severance of $6.2 million for 2015 YTD, which covered approximately 120 individuals in engineering, manufacturing, administration and sales. Employee severance is expected to be paid within the next twelve months. We recorded net provisions for contract termination costs of $1.8 million for 2015 YTD, primarily for the fair value at the cease-use date of operating lease liabilities for space we have exited. Facilities consisted of manufacturing sites, as well as sales, engineering and administrative space. We recorded provisions for other associated costs for restructuring of $3.0 million for 2015 YTD, which consisted of facility and equipment impairments and facility relocation costs. During Q1 2014, we recorded restructuring charges of $7.7 million primarily related to severance and facility shutdown costs and actions following our acquisition of Microsemi – FTD during the quarter.
