The Company currently holds a 24.5% interest in AWE Management Ltd (AWE ML) that is accounted for under the equity method, and the carrying value of the Company’s investment as of October 2, 2020 was approximately $38 million. As of October 2, 2020, AWE ML was under a contractual operating arrangement with the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) with multiple years remaining under the arrangement. Subsequent to year end, on November 2, 2020, the MoD unexpectedly announced plans to change its current operating agreements with AWE ML that would result in the early termination of the current contract in 2021. The Company is currently evaluating this subsequent development, including the potential impact on our accounting for this equity method investment in future quarters.
