For the quarter ended April 4, 2015, there was an immaterial amount of separation and hiring costs. For the quarter ended March 29, 2014, the Company recorded $2.0 million of separation and hiring costs, primarily related to the resignations of Jerry W. Burris, the former President and Chief Executive Officer and David S. Nagle, the former Chief Operations Officer, AMI Distribution and Services, as well as the hiring of Dana R. Snyder, who was named Interim Chief Executive Officer prior to the appointment of Brian C. Strauss as President and Chief Executive Officer in May 2014. As of April 4, 2015, the remaining balance payable to the Company’s former executives for separation costs was $0.7 million, which will be paid at various dates through 2016.

The entire disclosure for compensation costs, including compensated absences accruals, compensated absences liability, deferred compensation arrangements and income statement compensation items. Deferred compensation arrangements may include a description of an arrangement with an individual employee, which is generally an employment contract between the entity and a selected officer or key employee containing a promise by the employer to pay certain amounts at designated future dates, usually including a period after retirement, upon compliance with stipulated requirements. This type of arrangement is distinguished from broader based employee benefit plans as it is usually tailored to the employee. Disclosure also typically includes the amount of related compensation expense recognized during the reporting period, the number of shares (units) issued during the period under such arrangements, and the carrying amount as of the balance sheet date of the related liability.
