Restructuring Charges

In 2016, we incurred an additional $0.8 million related to the closure of the Slovakian manufacturing facility, described below. Additionally, we incurred $0.2 million related to a one-time charge unrelated to the events disclosed in the table below.

    

In 2015, we incurred $6.7 million in total restructuring charges related to: (i) a commitment to a plan to sell our Slovakia manufacturing facility, which was sold during 2016 the plan to sell the facility resulted in a pre-tax restructuring charge of $4.2 million for employee termination benefits, government incentive repayments and other associated costs; (ii) an agreement with Dr. Lopez, a member of our Board of Directors and a former employee in our research and development department, pursuant to which we bought out Dr. Lopez's right to employment under his then-existing employment agreement-the $1.9 million buy-out, including payroll taxes, will be paid in equal monthly installments until December 2020 and payments that will exceed one year have been accrued under long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet; and (iii) the reorganization of our corporate infrastructure, resulting in one-time employee termination benefits and other associated costs and corporate restructuring actions resulted in a total charge of $0.6 million.

In 2014, we reorganized our selling and corporate infrastructure, resulting in a reduction in workforce of 69 employees. The $3.5 million restructuring charge, which is presented as a separate line item on our consolidated statements of income, is combined with strategic transaction expenses. The restructuring charge is comprised of employee termination benefits and other associated costs.

The following table summarizes the activity for the restructuring-related charges discussed above and related accrual (in thousands):
