[1] Except for the Little Sheep trademark, which had a carrying value of $53 million at December 31, 2016, the remaining carrying value of assets measured at fair value due to the 2014 Little Sheep impairments (Level 3) was insignificant. Our 2014 fair value estimate of the Little Sheep trademark was determined using a relief-from-royalty valuation approach that included future revenues as a significant input and a discount rate of 13% as our estimate of the required rate-of-return that a third party buyer would expect to receive when purchasing the trademark. The primary drivers of the trademark’s fair value are franchise revenue growth and revenues associated with a wholly-owned business that sells seasoning to retail customers. Franchise revenue growth reflected annual same store sales growth of 4% and approximately 35 new franchise units per year, partially offset by approximately 25 franchise closures per year. The retail seasoning business was forecasted to generate sales growth consistent with historical results. Our 2016 and 2015 fair value estimates exceeded their carrying values using similar assumptions and methods as those used in 2014.
[2] Restaurant-level impairment charges are recorded in Closures and impairment expenses, net and resulted primarily from our semi-annual impairment evaluation of long-lived assets of individual restaurants that were being operated at the time of impairment and had not been offered for refranchising. The fair value measurements used in these impairment evaluations were based on discounted cash flow estimates using unobservable inputs (Level 3). The remaining net book value of assets measured at fair value during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was insignificant.
[3] Incremental restaurant-level impairment represents additional impairment as a result of including the impact from the license fee paid to YUM on the individual restaurants future cash flow, which is equal to 3% of net system sales. Such license fee did not impact the impairment assessment prior to the separation as it was considered an intercompany charge at the time, whereas it became a charge from a third party after the separation and therefore should be considered in the impairment assessment. The remaining net book value of assets measured at fair value during the year ended December 31, 2016 was insignificant.
[4] (d)The Post-Closing Adjustment and the warrants from the investment with strategic investors were accounted for as derivative instruments and liability-classified equity contracts, respectively (see Note 11). These financial instruments were initially measured at fair value as of November 1, 2016, the date when shares of common stock were issued, and subject to subsequent fair value measurement until December 30, 2016. They are classified within Level 3 because their fair values are based on inputs that are unobservable in the market. The Company adopted the Monte-Carlo Simulation model (the “MCS” model) and Black-Scholes option-pricing model (the “BS” model) in deriving the initial fair values of the Post-Closing Adjustment and the warrants, respectively. On December 30, 2016, when the Adjusted VWAP Price Per Share was determined, the Post-Closing Adjustment was remeasured at fair value of $20.5 million based on 784,686.42 shares of common stock to be repurchased from the Investors at the closing price of $26.12 per share. The Warrants were remeasured at fair value of $95 million using the BS option pricing model with assumptions as of December 30, 2016. The key assumptions for the MCS model and the BS model as of November 1, 2016 and December 30, 2016, respectively, are as follows: November 1, 2016 December 30, 2016 Post-Closing Adjustment Warrants Warrants Fair market value of common stock $26.19 $26.19 $26.12 Expected term 60 days 5 years 5 years Average risk-free rate of return 0.27% 1.31% 1.93% Expected volatility 33% 34% 33% Expected dividend yield —% —% —%
