Cost and Equity Method Investments Disclosure	Investments The Company holds several investments and loans in non-consolidated entities. RLJE On October 14, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), Digital Entertainment Holdings LLC (“DEH”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and RLJ Entertainment, Inc. (“RLJE”) entered into a Credit and Guaranty agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which DEH provided term loans totaling $65,000 to RLJE and DEH received warrants to purchase at least 20 million shares of RLJE’s common stock, at a price of $3.00 per share (the “RLJE Warrants”). The Credit Agreement consists of a term loan in the principal amount of $5,000 (the “Tranche A Loan”) with a maturity of one year and a term loan in the principal amount of $60,000 (the “Tranche B Loan” and together with the Tranche A Loan, the “RLJE Term Loans”) with a maturity of seven years. The Tranche A Loan bears interest at a rate of 7.00% per annum, with 4.00% to be paid in cash and 3.00% to be paid in shares of common stock of RLJE. The Tranche B Loan bears interest at a rate of 6.00% per annum, with 4.00% to be paid in cash and 2.00% to be paid in shares of Common Stock of RLJE. For the purposes of calculating the interest to be paid in shares of RLJE common stock, the value of such shares shall be based on a fixed $3.00 per share. Principal payments on the Tranche B loan are $15,000 due on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, $30,000 due on the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date and the remaining balance due on the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date. Interest on both the Tranche A Loan and the Tranche B Loan is due in arrears on a quarterly basis (commencing on the first quarter after the Closing Date). On January 30, 2017, the Company and RLJE amended the terms of the Tranche A Loan to increase the principal amount by $8,000 to $13,000 and extend the maturity to seven years. The RLJE Warrants entitle DEH to purchase at least 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock of RLJE (the “Warrant Shares”) with an initial exercise date as of the Closing Date. The first RLJE Warrant for 5,000,000 Warrant Shares expires on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the second RLJE Warrant for 10,000,000 Warrant Shares expires on the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, and the third RLJE Warrant for 5,000,000 Warrant Shares expires on the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date. The exercise price of the RLJE Warrants is $3.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The RLJE Warrants include customary anti-dilution provisions. In addition, the third RLJE Warrant also provides that the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that upon the full exercise of the RLJE Warrant, DEH shall hold at least 50.1% of the outstanding equity securities of RLJE on a fully diluted basis. The RLJE Term Loans are included in Other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company accounts for the portion of interest on the RLJE Term Loans payable in RLJE common stock as an embedded derivative. In addition, the RLJE Warrants are accounted for as derivatives. Both the RLJE Warrants and the embedded derivative for the portion of interest payable in RLJE common stock are remeasured at the end of each period with changes in fair value included in miscellaneous, net in the consolidated statement of income. Other Investments In 2016, the Company purchased a minority investment in Funny or Die, Inc. which is accounted for as a cost method investment. The agreement contains certain provisions under which the Company may be obligated to increase its investment over time. The Company holds investments in a number of other non-consolidated entities, which are not significant individually or in the aggregate.
