sorry for the explanation that led nowhere thanks for clarifying the share loan structure.
so i guess the timing of the GM departing contributed to around $100k / HY (max) to the employment costs..
the other possibility i had thought was the hitting of certain triggers/overrides which contributed to one-off bonuses and incentives for certain dentists/management or perhaps earn-outs for prior acquisitions (usually not in wage line though).

failing the above, certainly as travelightor suggested, replacing retiring dentists with graduates is a possibility and would hurt the top and bottom lines in future.
however, given most of ONT's practices are in regional / suburban areas (also affordable rather than quality), the impact would be muted compared to an inner CBD practice and premium quality practices.

i suppose the only way we would know the truth is actually talking to management.

"i suppose the only way we would know the truth is actually talking to management."

Yes, which is why I sent an a-mail off to the MD this afternoon, respectfully asking for clarity.
