On August 5, 2014, we, along with the remaining partners in Classified Ventures, LLC, have entered into a definitive agreement to sell all of the ownership interests in Classified Ventures, LLC to Gannett Co., Inc. for a price that values Classified Ventures, LLC at $2.5 billion. This transaction is expected to close by the end of fiscal year 2014 and accordingly, we will record a gain on sale of our interest in Classified Ventures, LLC during the period it closes. Our portion of the cash proceeds is expected to be approximately $640 million. Upon close of the transaction, we will enter into a new, five-year affiliate agreement with Cars.com that will allow us to continue to sell Cars.com products and services exclusively in our local markets. In accordance with our bond indenture for our 9.00% Notes, we will offer the after-tax proceeds from this transaction, to the extent that they are not reinvested within 365 days of the closing of the transaction, in an offering to repurchase those notes at par. The 9.00% Notes are currently trading at a premium.
