HFC Restructuring
As a result of the sale of the cable access HFC business in March 2013, the Company recorded $16,000 and $617,000 of restructuring charges under “Income from discontinued operations” in the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013, respectively. The restructuring charge for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 consisted of $522,000 of severance and benefits and $95,000 of contract termination costs. The severance and benefits are related to the termination of nine of the Company's employees by the Company as a result of the sale of the HFC business, and the reimbursement to Aurora, pursuant to the amended TSA, of severance payable by Aurora as a result of its subsequent termination of ten U.S. employees hired from the Company, in connection with Aurora's purchase of the HFC business. Three of the employees terminated by the Company were required to work to the end of the term of the TSA and, therefore, the Company recorded their severance ratably over their service period. The following table summarizes the activity in the HFC restructuring accrual during the nine months ended September 27, 2013 (in thousands):
