The Company made severance payments during the three months ended March 31, 2015 pursuant to its written severance plan. In the first quarter of 2015, employee separation charges were associated with discontinuing our cyber-security product offering and integrating each of our segments' business markets. Lease abandonment costs represent future minimum lease obligations, net of expected sublease income, for abandoned facilities. Lease payments on abandoned facilities will continue through 2019. Other represents project related expenses as we continue to identify opportunities to integrate the business markets within our Entertainment and Communications and IT Services & Hardware segment.
