REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

The holders of equity interests in certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have rights (“Put Rights”) that may be exercised on varying dates causing the Company to purchase their equity interests through fiscal 2025. The Put Rights, all of which relate either to common shares or membership interests in limited liability companies, provide that the cash consideration to be paid for their equity interests (the “Redemption Amount”) be at fair value or at a formula that management intended to reasonably approximate fair value based solely on a multiple of future earnings over a measurement period. As of October 31, 2017, management’s estimate of the aggregate Redemption Amount of all Put Rights that the Company could be required to pay is approximately $131.1 million. The actual Redemption Amount will likely be different. The aggregate Redemption Amount of all Put Rights was determined using probability adjusted internal estimates of future earnings of the Company’s subsidiaries with Put Rights while considering the earliest exercise date, the measurement period and any applicable fair value adjustments. The portion of the estimated Redemption Amount as of October 31, 2017 redeemable at fair value is approximately $82.1 million and the portion redeemable based solely on a multiple of future earnings is approximately $49.0 million.

A summary of the Put Rights associated with the redeemable noncontrolling interests in certain of the Company’s subsidiaries as of October 31, 2017 is as follows:

The estimated aggregate Redemption Amount of the Put Rights that are currently puttable or becoming puttable during fiscal 2018 is approximately $40.4 million, of which approximately $21.0 million would be payable in fiscal 2018 should all of the eligible associated noncontrolling interest holders elect to exercise their Put Rights during fiscal 2018. Additionally, the Company has call rights to purchase the equity interests of the noncontrolling holders over the same purchase period as the Put Rights.

During fiscal 2016, the holders of a 19.9% noncontrolling equity interest in a subsidiary of the FSG that was acquired in fiscal 2011 exercised their option to cause the Company to purchase their interests over a two-year period ending in fiscal 2017. Accordingly, the Company’s ownership interest in the subsidiary increased to 100% effective March 2017.

The $3.8 million and $3.6 million Redemption Amount for the redeemable noncontrolling interests acquired in fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively, were paid using cash provided by operating activities.
