As of February 28, 2019, $3,883 of the Company's restructuring charges incurred were not yet settled and are included within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The accrued restructuring balance at February 28, 2019 consists primarily of employee severance, which is located within the employee compensation line item in the above table.

Through the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, the Company had a call/put option agreement with certain employees of Voxx Germany, whereby these employees could acquire up to a maximum of 20% of the Company's stated share capital in Voxx Germany at a call price equal to the same proportion of the actual price paid by the Company for Voxx Germany. The put and call prices were fixed at €3,000 and €0, respectively, with the put subject only to downward adjustments for losses incurred by Voxx Germany. For each fiscal year, the employees also received an annual dividend equal to 20% of Voxx Germany's net after tax profits. Accordingly, the Company recognized compensation expense based on 20% of the after-tax net profits of Voxx Germany, subject to certain tax treatment adjustments as defined in the agreement, representing the annual dividend. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, the employees of Voxx Germany called the option, resulting in a total payment of $3,786, which was included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at February 28, 2018 within employee compensation in the table above. Compensation expense for annual dividends amounted to $285 and $405 for the years ended February 28, 2018 and February 28, 2017, respectively.
