CLUTTER JOINT VENTURE

In February 2022, the joint venture formed by MakeSpace Labs, Inc. and us (the "MakeSpace JV") entered into an agreement with Clutter, Inc. pursuant to which the equityholders of the MakeSpace JV contributed their ownership interests in the MakeSpace JV, and Clutter, Inc.’s shareholders contributed their ownership interests in Clutter, Inc., to create a newly formed venture (the "Clutter JV"). In exchange for our 49.99% interest in the MakeSpace JV, we received an approximate 27% interest in the Clutter JV (the "Clutter Transaction"). As a result of the Clutter Transaction, we recognized a gain related to our contributed interest in the MakeSpace JV of approximately $35,800, which was recorded to Other, net, a component of Other (income) expense, net, during the first quarter of 2022.

On June 29, 2023, we completed the Clutter Acquisition. In connection with the Clutter Acquisition, our previously held approximately 27% interest in the Clutter JV was remeasured to fair value at the closing date of the Clutter Acquisition. As a result, we recognized a loss of approximately $38,000 to Other, net, a component of Other (income) expense, net, during the second quarter of 2023.

WEB WERKS JOINT VENTURE

In April 2021, we closed on an agreement to form a joint venture (the "Web Werks JV") with the shareholders of Web Werks India Private Limited, a colocation data center provider in India. Through December 31, 2022, we made two investments totaling approximately 7,500,000 Indian rupees (or approximately $96,200, based upon the exchange rates between the United States dollar and Indian rupee on the closing date of each investment) in exchange for a noncontrolling interest in the form of convertible preference shares in the Web Werks JV. In July 2023, we made our final contractual investment in the Web Werks JV. See Note 3.
