During the third quarter 2015, management approved the exit plan for the delinquent loan servicing activities, which are included in the ancillary services and corporate segment.

During the second quarter 2016, the activities were primarily related to paying out the remaining liabilities.

Of these amounts, approximately $0.4 million of employee termination benefits, $1.4 million of accrued early lease termination costs and $1.1 million of accelerated depreciation of assets were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and are included within the employee costs, investments and other gains - net and depreciation and amortization lines, respectively, in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income (loss).
