| Restructuring and other charges (income) | Restructuring and other charges/(income) During the nine months ended December 31, 2020, we enacted certain restructuring initiatives to align our current cost structure with the present decline in demand for our products and services primarily due to COVID-19 and depressed oil prices. Moreover, the Company eliminated approximately 66 and 262 positions (both hourly and salaried positions) during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, and incurred $997 and $5,858 in one-time severance costs during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, which were recorded to restructuring and other charges/(income) in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
In addition, we incurred $429 in lease impairment costs primarily related to one of our Canadian facilities that was substantially vacated by December 31, 2020, as the Company executed efforts to optimize its global manufacturing footprint. We also exercised the early termination option for one of our existing leases in Canada, which resulted in the remeasurement of the related right-of-use asset and lease liability and accelerated the lease amortization and expense to align with the cease use date of the facility. We substantially vacated the facility by December 31, 2020. As a result, we recorded an incremental $144 and $191 in lease abandonment charges during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, respectively. Both of these lease-related costs were recorded to restructuring and other charges/(income) in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Disposal of South Africa Business
On December 15, 2020, a Sale of Shares Agreement was entered into between one of our consolidated subsidiaries and an investor consortium (the "TSAPL Purchasers"). As a result of this agreement, 100% of the outstanding common shares of our consolidated subsidiary, Thermon South Africa Proprietary Limited (the "South Africa Business"), were sold to the TSAPL Purchasers, with aggregate proceeds of 2,500 South African Rand (ZAR), or $167, as partial satisfaction of an existing note receivable. In addition, Purchasers committed to settle operational receivables attributable to other Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. subsidiaries that were existing at the time of sale.
After evaluating our presence in the region served by the South Africa Business, the Company decided to centralize and consolidate our business structure and streamline our organization. A member of the TSAPL Purchasers was the current general manager of the operations at the time of sale. This sale is accompanied by a distribution agreement whereby the new owners will distribute our products, thus continuing the Company's presence in the region. We believes this is an opportunity to optimize the business while pivoting to a new relationship that will better enable us to serve our customers.
As a result of the sale and in accordance with ASC 360-10, we recognized a loss on the sale of a business of $2,214, which included the impact of a currency translation adjustment of $828. This loss was recognized within restructuring and other charges/(income) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The reported loss on sale of stock is not deductible for tax. Prior to the disposal, the South Africa Business's results were reported within the "Europe, Middle East and Africa" segment.
Restructuring and other charges/(income) by reportable segment were as follows:
Restructuring activity related to severance activity described above recorded in "Accrued liabilities" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets is summarized as follows for the nine months ended December 31, 2020:
