Sale of Nutritional Bar Assets and Powder Facility	3. Sale of Nutritional Bar Assets and Powder Facility In March 2015, NBTY and Nellson Nutraceutical, LLC ("Nellson") entered into (i) a bar asset purchase agreement, (the "Bar APA") and (ii) a powder asset purchase agreement (the "Powder APA" and, together with the Bar APA, the "APAs"), pursuant to which NBTY agreed to sell certain production assets, raw materials, packaging, labeling, in process products, component inventories and contracts (the "Transferred Assets") associated with NBTY's nutritional bar and powder manufacturing operations (the "Divested Manufacturing Operations"). The closing of the sale pursuant to the Powder APA occurred on June 26, 2015. The sales price for the production assets and transferred contracts was $4,228. The sales price for the raw materials, packaging, labels, work-in-process and component inventories was $16,722, net of post-closing adjustments. A significant portion of the sale of assets pursuant to the Bar APA has already been completed with the remaining portion of the sale expected to be completed by the end of the first half of fiscal 2016. The aggregate sales price for the production assets to be sold pursuant to the Bar APA is approximately $12,000, which resulted in accelerated depreciation as noted below. The aggregate sales price for the raw materials, packaging, labels, work-in-process and component inventories to be transferred pursuant to the Bar APA is equal to NBTY's book value for such assets, as estimated by NBTY prior to the closing of the transactions, and subject to post-closing adjustments. As of December 31, 2015, $7,910 of production assets have been transferred. As of December 31, 2015, the remaining production assets of approximately $4,100 and inventory of $4,700 within the bar plant that are waiting to be transferred are recorded in other current assets, as they are no longer being used for manufacturing operations and are readily available to be sold in their existing condition. As a result of these arrangements, we will incur cumulative net charges ranging from $36,000 to $39,000 before tax over the period in which these transactions are completed, of which non-cash charges will consist primarily of accelerated depreciation and a write-off of goodwill of approximately $28,000; costs related to workforce reductions will be approximately $2,500 and other costs ranging from $7,000 to $10,000 partially offset by a gain of $1,692 on the sale of a contract. All costs associated with the Divested Manufacturing Operations are being reflected in Corporate / Manufacturing, with the exception of the write-off of goodwill for which $4,892 and $649 was recorded in the Consumer Products Group and Puritan's Pride segments, respectively. Charges related to these divestitures of $5,494 for the three months ended December 31, 2015 were $2,337 for accelerated depreciation and $3,157 of other costs, which primarily relate to inventory write-offs, and are recorded in Facility restructuring charges. Cumulative charges since inception of these arrangements totaled $34,987 through December 31, 2015 and include $22,540 for accelerated depreciation, $5,541 for a write off of goodwill associated with the fair value of the business; $2,510 for severance and employee related costs and $6,088 of other costs, which primarily relate to inventory write offs; partially offset by a gain on a transferred contract of $1,692, and are recorded in Facility restructuring charges.
