[1] Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for material terms of the put and call options associated with the Company’s joint venture.

[2] The Company determined, in accordance with ASC 810, based on the corporate structure, voting rights and contributions of the Company and its respective joint venture partner, that the joint venture is not a VIE and not subject to consolidation. The Company has recorded its investment under the equity method of accounting since inception.

[3] In April 2016, the Company entered into agreements with Galore Media, Inc. (Galore), a marketing company formed in FY 2015 and which was still in a development stage. Under the agreements, the Company purchased 50,050 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Galore for $0.5 million and entered into arrangements pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase up to an aggregate $0.5 million of marketing services from Galore in FY 2016. In connection with the marketing services arrangement, the Company received warrants that, as the Company purchases specified levels of marketing services, may be exercised for additional shares of Galore’s Series A Preferred Stock at a nominal exercise price. The Series A Preferred Stock carries voting rights, and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the collective right to appoint one of five members of the Board of Directors of Galore as long as there are at least 48,000 Series A Preferred Shares outstanding. Given these arrangements, the Company has an investment of approximately 11% of the equity of Galore.
