As of October 31, 2015, the Company was in the process of assessing the sales tax status of the Bazaarvoice enterprise service offering with sales tax agencies in certain states in which it operates. In addition, certain state tax returns are currently under audit by state tax authorities.

On November 13, 2014, the Company entered into a lease (the “Lease”), pursuant to which the Company will lease approximately 137,615 square feet of office space in Austin, Texas. This will serve as the new headquarters of the Company and will be used for general office purposes. The term of the Lease commences on January 1, 2016 unless otherwise modified (“Commencement Date”) and terminates approximately ten years and six months after the Commencement Date. The Company has the option to extend the term of the Lease for up to two successive periods of five years each and the Company was required to obtain a stand by letter of credit of $8.0 million as a security deposit for the Lease. The expected lease payments for the original term are estimated to be approximately $0.3 million for fiscal year ended April 30, 2016, $3.8 million for fiscal year ended April 30, 2017, $3.8 million for fiscal year ended April 30, 2018, $3.9 million for fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, $4.0 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020 and $25.9 million for the fiscal years ended April 30th thereafter. During the three month period ended October 31, 2015, the Company made the decision to cease sales and marketing operations in its Australia and Singapore offices. As a result, the Company accrued $0.2 million in severance costs for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2015 and in future periods expects to incur an additional $0.3 million related to retention bonuses that will be recognized ratably over the retained employees' future service periods and $0.1 million in relocation costs.
