13. Acquisitions and Investments

Investment in Tallo, Inc.

 

In August 2018, the Company invested $6.7 million for a 39.5% minority interest in Tallo, Inc. (“Tallo”). This investment in preferred stock that contains additional rights over common stock and has no readily determinable fair value, was recorded at cost and will be adjusted, as necessary, for impairment.  In the event Tallo issues equity at a materially different price than what the Company paid, the Company would also assess changing the carrying value.  Tallo also issued a convertible note to the Company for $5.0 million that will be accounted for as an available-for-sale debt security and adjusted to fair value quarterly. The note bears interest at the mid-term Applicable Federal Rate plus 25 bps per annum with a maturity of 48 months. The note is convertible at the Company’s option into 3.67 million Series D Preferred Shares that would give the Company an effective ownership of 56% if exercised. The Company’s investment in Tallo is included in deposits and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Investment in Web International Education Group, Ltd. (“Web”)

In January 2011, the Company invested $10.0 million to obtain a 20% minority interest in Web International Education Group, Ltd. (“Web”), a provider of English language learning centers in cities throughout China. On May 6, 2013, the Company exercised its right to put its investment back to Web for return of its original $10.0 million investment. The Company reclassified this $10.0 million investment, recording it in other current assets. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017, the Company recorded an impairment of $10.0 million in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company continues to work with Web, and to the extent it collects in a subsequent period, the Company will record the amount collected in other income in the period received.
