We recorded net provisions for employee severance of $10.0 million for 2015, of which $2.9 million related to actions following our acquisition of Vitesse. Employee severance covered approximately 250 individuals in engineering, manufacturing, administration and sales and is expected to be paid within the next twelve months.
We recorded provisions for contract termination costs of $2.6 million for 2015, 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 a $1.1 million reversal of prior provision related to a facility lease termination that was settled at an amount less than estimated.
We recorded provisions for other associated costs for restructuring of $3.9 million for 2015, which consisted of facility and equipment impairments and facility relocation costs.
