Common Stock, Subject to Possible Redemption

On February 19, 2015, we completed the acquisition of 12 pawn stores in Central Texas doing business under the "Cash Pawn" brand. The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition was $16.5 million, comprised of $5.0 million cash and 1,168,456 shares of our Class A Non-voting Common Stock (the "Shares"), valued at $10.01 per share less a $0.2 million Holding Period Adjustment discussed below. The Shares were issued in an unregistered private placement transaction pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 to a small number of related individuals and entities (the "Sellers") who were either "accredited investors" or "sophisticated investors." On the first anniversary of the closing date, the Sellers exercised their right to require us to repurchase the Shares for an aggregate price of $11.8 million (the "Put Option").

The Put Option was not accounted for separately from the Shares and did not require bifurcation. The Shares were accounted for as common stock, subject to possible redemption under FASB ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and were included in temporary equity in our condensed consolidated balance sheets prior to March 31, 2016. The Holding Period Adjustment was accounted for as a contingent consideration asset under FASB ASC 805 Business Combinations, was adjusted to fair value each reporting period, and was recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets at its estimated fair value under "Other assets, net" prior to March 31, 2016. See Note 14 for additional information regarding the Holding Period Adjustment.

Grupo Finmart

On January 30, 2012, we acquired a 60% interest in Grupo Finmart. On June 30, 2014, we acquired an additional 16% of the ordinary shares outstanding of Grupo Finmart, increasing our ownership percentage to 76%. On August 31, 2015, we acquired an additional 18% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Grupo Finmart, increasing our ownership percentage to 94%. The holders of the remaining 6% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Grupo Finmart have the right, exercisable once in fiscal 2016 and once in fiscal 2017, to require us to purchase their remaining shares at a purchase price based on an independent valuation of the business.

Noncontrolling Interest

During the six-months ended March 31, 2016, a consolidated subsidiary included in the Other International segment began operations in building an IT marketing platform to provide targeted solutions for our pawn customers. The noncontrolling interest is attributable to the 40% of this subsidiary held by the minority shareholder.
