Discontinued Operations

On June 4, 2014, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to divest the assets of PowerReviews, Inc. (“PowerReviews”), pursuant to a Joint Stipulation with the Department of Justice and Order to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division, for $30.0 million in cash, $4.5 million of which was held in escrow as a partial security for the Company’s indemnification obligations under the definitive agreement, and subsequently released during fiscal 2016. As a result, PowerReviews revenues, related expenses and loss on disposal, net of tax, are components of “loss from discontinued operations, net of tax” in the consolidated statements of operations. The statement of cash flows is reported on a combined basis without separately presenting cash flows from discontinued operations for all periods presented.
