Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

(2) Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

On September 8, 2021, Onkyo Technology KK ("Onkyo"), a joint venture between the Company's subsidiary, Premium Audio Company LLC ("PAC"), and its partner Sharp Corporation ("Sharp"), completed a transaction to acquire certain assets of the home audio/video business of Onkyo Home Entertainment Corporation (“OHEC”). PAC owns 77.2% of the joint venture and has an 85.1% voting interest and Sharp owns 22.8% of the joint venture and has a 14.9% voting interest. The joint venture agreement between PAC and Sharp contains a put/call option, whereby Sharp has the right to put its interest in the joint venture back to Voxx and Voxx has the right to call Sharp’s ownership interest in the joint venture at any time after the approval of Onkyo’s annual financial statements for the year ending February 28, 2025 at a purchase price equal to the higher of (a) the assets of Onkyo minus the liabilities of Onkyo, or (b) five times the EBITDA of Onkyo, in either case (a) or (b), less any amounts distributed to Sharp at any time (provided all shareholder loans are repaid) multiplied by the percentage of votes attached to such shares and other interests, free from all encumbrances, and with the benefit of all rights attaching to them as at the date of the relevant notice.

The Company has consolidated the financial results of Onkyo since the acquisition date for financial reporting purposes. The non-controlling interest has been classified as redeemable non-controlling interest outside of equity on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as the exercise of the put/call option is not within the Company’s control. The carrying value of the redeemable non-controlling interest of Onkyo cannot be less than the redemption amount, which is the amount Sharp will settle the put option for if exercised. Based upon the terms of the put/call option, the option remains exercisable in the event there is no redemption price, or if the redemption price is a negative amount, as determined by the redemption formula. In periods where the specific formula results in a negative amount, and thus no redemption value exists, no amounts would be paid to or received from the counterparty upon the exercise of the option. Adjustments to reconcile the carrying value to the redemption amount are recorded immediately to retained earnings and included in earnings per share. No adjustment was made to the carrying amount of the redeemable non-controlling interest at May 31, 2024 as the excess of the redemption amount over the carrying amount was minimal, or a negative amount. In the event the formulaic redemption price is positive and greater than the carrying amount of the redeemable non-controlling interest balance, an adjustment to the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest would be recorded. The following table provides the rollforward of the redeemable non-controlling interest for the three months ended May 31, 2024:
