Special Charges/Recoveries | Special Charges, net General Background The nature of Special Charges, net include restructuring costs, costs to exit a product line or program, litigation settlements and other special charges or gains that are generally not reflective of our on-going operational results. On November 3, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the closure and exit of our Brazil manufacturing operations ("Brazil Closure") due to the economic realities in Brazil and the ongoing challenges with our only significant end customer, Petrobras. CIRCOR Brazil has reported substantial operating losses every year since it was acquired in 2011 while the underlying market conditions and outlook have deteriorated. In connection with the closure, we recorded $0.9 million in special charges within the Energy Segment during the three months ended April 3, 2016 which primarily related to employee termination costs. As of April 3, 2016 , our remaining Brazil assets were $4.8 million of which $1.1 million relates to net third party accounts receivables, $0.9 million relates to net property, plant & equipment, $0.7 million relates to cash, and $0.6 million relates to inventory.

Under this restructuring, we are reducing certain general, manufacturing and facility related expenses. On April 15, 2015, we acquired Germany-based Schroedahl, a privately-owned manufacturer of safety and control valves primarily in the power generation market. In connection with our acquisition of Schroedahl, we recorded certain acquisition related professional fees ("Acquisition related charges") as special charges.
