CEO Separation Costs

Effective December 14, 2014, Steven A. Davis resigned as the Chief Executive Officer and from the Company's board of directors by mutual agreement with the Company's Board of Directors. Effective January 2, 2015, Mr. Davis separated from the Company. Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Davis is entitled to certain post employment compensation and benefits subsequent to separation from the Company, which occurred as a termination without cause as defined in the contract. As a result, during the three months ended January 23, 2015, the Company recognized pretax charges of approximately $3.8 million, primarily related to salary continuation to be paid over the next two years, cash equivalent payout of unvested stock awards and other post-employment benefits. These charges are recorded within the S,G&A line in the Consolidated Statements of Net Income.
