Exit activities
Exit activities. During the third quarter 2015, management approved the exit plan for the delinquent loan servicing activities included in the mortgage services segment. The decision was based on continued pricing pressures on existing contracts and decreased demand for these services. The Company is operating the delinquent loan servicing business on a phased exit schedule and anticipates the completion of its exit no later than the end of first quarter 2016. The Company has estimated the total charge to be incurred related to exiting these operations to be between $5.0 million and $7.0 million. These costs include lease termination costs, additional severance expenses and accelerated amortization expense. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded $3.5 million of costs, comprised of $1.1 million of employee termination benefits (of which $0.3 million was paid during 2015), $1.0 million of early lease termination costs accrued and $1.4 million of accelerated depreciation of assets. These amounts are included within the Employee costs, Investments and other (losses) gains - net and Depreciation and amortization lines, respectively, in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
