Aggregate Future Lease Commitments
On November 13, 2014, the Company entered into a lease (the “Lease”), pursuant to which the Company leases approximately 137,615 square feet of office space in Austin, Texas. This serves as the headquarters of the Company and is used for general office purposes. The term of the Lease commenced on December 14, 2015 (the “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.
In addition to its headquarters, the Company has non-cancelable operating leases for office premises at various other national and international locations. The Company recognizes expense on a straight-line basis and records the difference between recognized rental expense and amounts payable under the lease as deferred rent. Rent expense for the years ended April 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, was $5.0 million, $4.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively. Effective May 2016, the Company entered into a sublease agreement for a portion of its headquarters, which expires in April 2019.
Future minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases, by year and in the aggregate, are as follows at April 30, 2016 (in thousands):

Amended and Restated Credit Facility
On November 21, 2014, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Comerica Bank which provides for a secured, revolving line of credit of up to $70.0 million, with a sublimit of $3.0 million for the incurrence of swingline loans and a sublimit of $15.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit. The revolving line of credit bears interest at the adjusted LIBOR rate plus 3.5%. In addition, the Company is required to pay an ongoing commitment fee of 0.5% on the full amount available under the Credit Facility, whether used or unused. On November 21, 2014, the Company drew down $57.0 million of the unused balance of the Credit Facility. In fiscal year 2016 the Company paid $15.0 million on the balance outstanding under its Credit Facility, reducing the Company's outstanding debt to $42.0 million. The Credit Facility expires on November 21, 2017 with all advances immediately due and payable (See Note 11).
Legal proceedings and other contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims including alleged infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights. The Company reviews the status of each matter and records a provision for a liability when it is considered both probable that a liability has been incurred and that the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal fees incurred in connection with loss contingencies are recognized as incurred when the legal services are provided, and therefore are not recognized as a part of a loss contingency accrual. These provisions are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as additional information becomes available. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that in the opinion of our management would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
On June 12, 2012, the Company acquired PowerReviews, Inc. (“PowerReviews”), a provider of social commerce solutions, for a total cash and stock purchase price of $150.8 million. On January 8, 2014, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division (the “Court”) ruled, in connection with a complaint filed by the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), that the Company's acquisition of PowerReviews violated Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 18. Under the terms of a joint stipulation with the DOJ and an order to the Court, on June 4, 2014, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to divest all of the assets of PowerReviews, LLC, the successor to PowerReviews, to Wavetable Labs, LLC (“Wavetable”), which subsequently changed its name to PowerReviews, for $30.0 million in cash, $4.5 million of which was held and subsequently released in fiscal 2016. As a result of the foregoing, PowerReviews revenues, related expenses and loss on disposal, net of tax, are components of “loss from discontinued operations, net of tax” in the consolidated statement of operations for all periods presented. On the consolidated balance sheets, the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations of PowerReviews have been presented as ‘Assets held for sale’ and ‘Liabilities held for sale,’ respectively, as of April 30, 2014. The statement of cash flows is reported on a combined basis without separately presenting cash flows from discontinued operations. The discussion of the Company's results of operations is based upon the results from its continuing operations unless otherwise indicated.
The Company realized a total loss on the disposal of PowerReviews of $10.7 million of which, $9.2 million was recognized as an estimated loss on disposal of discontinued operations during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014. The Company recognized the incremental loss of $1.5 million during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015 (See Note 3).
On August 20, 2014, the Company was informed that the DOJ was investigating whether the Company retained any PowerReviews technology in violation of the Joint Stipulation and Order. This matter was resolved by an agreement between the Company and the DOJ to modify the Proposed Final Judgment through the addition of terms relating to the appointment of an antitrust compliance officer. These agreed modifications to the Proposed Final Judgment were filed with the Court on December 1, 2014 and the Final Judgment was entered by the Court on December 2, 2014.
On March 12, 2013, a purported shareholder derivative action was filed in the Texas State District Court for Travis County, Texas against certain of the Company’s officers and directors, former officers and directors, and against the Company as nominal defendant. The original petition alleged claims purportedly on behalf of the Company against the individual defendants for corporate waste, breaches of fiduciary duties and breaches of the Company’s corporate policies in connection with the acquisition of PowerReviews and certain of the Company’s officers’ and directors’ sales of shares of the Company’s stock. The original petition requested declaratory judgment, a disgorgement of $91.4 million in proceeds received from such sales of the Company’s stock, unspecified damages on behalf of the Company, reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and experts’ fees, and equitable relief. After the court granted a motion filed by the Company and individual defendants that the plaintiff’s original petition failed to allege particularized facts sufficient to excuse plaintiff from making pre-suit demand on the Company’s Board of Directors, the plaintiff filed an amended petition November 22, 2013, which again asserted claims for corporate waste, breaches of fiduciary duties and breaches of the Company’s corporate policies in connection with the acquisition of PowerReviews and certain of the Company’s officers’ and directors’ sales of shares of the Company’s stock. The court stayed the lawsuit and its ruling on the Company’s motion for summary judgment to allow the parties to participate in mediation. On July 9, 2014, the parties attended mediation and agreed to preliminary settlement terms. On September 23, 2014, the court preliminarily approved the settlement agreement and directed the Company to notify its shareholders of the proposed settlement, a final hearing on November 24, 2014, and a motion for attorneys’ fees and expenses. On November 24, 2014, the court signed a Final Judgment approving the notice to shareholders and the proposed settlement and payments to plaintiff and plaintiff’s counsel, and dismissing all claims arising out of, relating to, or concerning the PowerReviews acquisition or divestiture, any reports, disclosures, or statements made by the current or former directors or officers of the Company in relation to the PowerReviews acquisition or divestiture, or any related matter that could have been asserted. The settlement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
