Certain affiliates of Blackstone provided monitoring, advisory, and consulting services to the Company under an advisory fee agreement (the “2009 Advisory Agreement”), which was terminated on April 24, 2013 in connection with the completion of the initial public offering (see Note 12 – Stockholders’ Equity). Fees related to these services, which were based upon a multiple of EBITDA as defined in the 2009 Advisory Agreement, amounted to $1,874 and $2,799 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $1,999 and $2,811 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. These amounts are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

In connection with the completion of the initial public offering on April 24, 2013 (see Note 12 – Stockholders’ Equity), the 2009 Advisory Agreement between the Company and affiliates of Blackstone was terminated (except for provisions relating to indemnification and certain other provisions, which survived termination). In connection with such termination, the Company paid a termination fee of $46,300 to Blackstone with a portion of the net proceeds from the offering and wrote-off $3,772 of the 2013 prepaid advisory fee. The combined expense of $50,072 is recorded as termination of advisory agreement in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

On March 30, 2012, the Company declared and paid a $500,000 cash dividend to its stockholders. In June 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per share payable on July 1, 2013 to all common stockholders of record at the close of business on June 20, 2013. In connection with the dividend declarations, certain affiliates of Blackstone were paid dividends in the amount of $500,000 and $11,749 on March 30, 2012 and July 1, 2013, respectively.
