[1] The contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value of the additional variable cash consideration payable in connection with our acquisition of Respawn Entertainment, LLC (“Respawn”) that is contingent upon the achievement of certain performance milestones. We estimated fair value using a probability-weighted income approach combined with a real options methodology and applied a discount rate that appropriately captures the risk associated with the obligation. The discount rates used ranged from 3.25 percent to 3.56 percent. See Note 6 for additional information regarding the Respawn acquisition.
