SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Return of Shares
On October 21, 2013, the Company and J.C. Penney Corporation, Inc. (“J.C. Penney”) entered into the Third Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the J.C. Penney/MSLO Agreement dated December 6, 2011 (the “Commercial Agreement”). The Amendment reduced the term of the Commercial Agreement, and provided for the return of the 11,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company held by J.C. Penney (the “Returned Shares”) and the one (1) share of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, held by J.C. Penney (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). Upon surrender by J.C. Penney of the Returned Shares and the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company retired these shares and J.C. Penney removed its Series A designees from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company. Upon cancellation of the Series A Preferred Stock, J.C. Penney is no longer entitled to designate for election any members of the Company’s Board.
The Company concluded that the Commercial Agreement and the Amendment should be considered one overall arrangement. Accordingly, the modification was accounted for at the fair value of the returned shares, at approximately $24.9 million based upon the closing price of the shares on October 21, 2013. In connection with this non-cash transaction, the Company recorded charges to accumulated deficit and Class A Common Stock of approximately $24.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Offsetting these charges was other deferred revenue of approximately $24.9 million. The other deferred revenue is being recognized on a straight-line basis as royalty revenue within the Merchandising segment over the amended term (June 30, 2017). During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recognized approximately $1.3 million in non-cash royalty revenue related to this transaction.
Common Stock
The Company has two classes of common stock outstanding. The $0.01 par value Class B common stock (“Class B Common Stock”) is identical in all respects to Class A Common Stock, except with respect to voting and conversion rights. Each share of Class B Common Stock entitles its holder to ten votes and is convertible on a one-for-one basis to Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder and automatically upon most transfers.
