3. Investment in Joint Venture

On May 2, 2015, the Company paid $733 in cash to increase its ownership position in Selet Hulling PLC (“Selet”)from 35% to 76%. Selet is a joint venture located in Ethiopia focused on the sourcing and supply of organic sesame. As a result of its increased ownership in Selet, the Company also obtained full management control of the operation. The increase in the Company’s ownership position was accounted for as an equity transaction, with the difference between the cash consideration paid and the amount by which the non-controlling interest related to Selet was adjusted being recognized in additional paid-in capital.
