NOTE 15 – OTHER OPERATING INCOME, NET:

On August 9, 2021, the Company and James R. Lines entered into a Severance and Transition Agreement (the "Transaction Agreement") pursuant to which Mr. Lines resigned from his position as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the board of directors, and from positions he held with all Company subsidiaries and affiliates, effective as of the close of business on August 31, 2021. The Transition Agreement provides that for a period of 18 months following the separation date, Mr. Lines is paid his base salary as well as health care premiums. As a result, a liability was recorded in the amount of $798 in Accrued Compensation on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognized against "Other operating income, net" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the second quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company terminated the earn out agreement related to the acquisition of BN (see Note 2), therefore the Company recognized a change in fair value of the contingent liability in the amount of $1,900, which was included in "Other operating income, net" on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
