As a result of the cash dividend of $0.10 per share declared by the Board of Directors paid October 3, 2011, January 3, 2012, April 2, 2012, July 2, 2012, October 1, 2012 and January 2, 2013 and of $0.07 per share declared by the Board paid April 1, 2013 and July 1, 2013 and the above-market self-tender offer in July 2012 (see Note 9 – Common Stock and Preferred Stock), the new conversion rate is 68.8564 shares of JAKKS common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (or approximately $14.52 per share).

Holders of the 2014 Notes may require that the Company repurchase for cash all or some of their notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined). On July 24, 2013, the Company repurchased an aggregate of $61.0 million principal amount of these notes at par plus accrued interest with a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of $100.0 million principal amount of 4.25% convertible senior notes due 2018 resulting in a gain on extinguishment of $0.1 million. Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate. In accordance with ASC 470-20, the Company allocated $13.7 million of the $100.0 million principal amount of the 2014 Notes to the equity component, which represents a discount to the debt that is being amortized to interest expense through November 1, 2014. Interest expense associated with the amortization of the discount was $0.7 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2013 and $2.0 million and $2.5 million for each of the nine months ending September 30, 2012 and 2013. The Company repurchased $61.0 million of the 2014 Notes during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 as discussed below, with $2.8 million of the price allocated to the repurchase of the related equity component. In addition, approximately $2.2 million of the unamortized debt discount and $0.6 million of debt issuance costs were written off in connection with the repurchase of the 2014 Notes. The balance of the discount was $5.1 million and $1.2 million at December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

The initial conversion rate for the 2018 Notes will be 114.3674 shares of our common per $1,000 principal amount of notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.74 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain events. Holders of the 2018 Notes may convert their notes upon the occurrence of specified events. Upon conversion, the 2018 Notes will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company used $61.0 million of the approximate $95.9 million in net proceeds from the offering to repurchase at par $61.0 million principal amount of the 2014 Notes. The remainder of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
