We have investments in Donohue Malbaie Inc. (“Malbaie”), a Canadian newsprint company, Madison Paper Industries (“Madison”), a partnership operating a supercalendered paper mill in Maine (together, the “Paper Mills”), and Women in the World Media, LLC, a live-event conference business.
    
We received no distributions from the Paper Mills during the six-month periods ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014.
We purchase newsprint and have purchased supercalendered paper from the Paper Mills at competitive prices. Such purchases totaled $6.1 million and $10.0 million for the six-month periods ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014, respectively. Effective February 2015, we no longer purchase supercalendered paper.
During the second quarter of 2015, we made an investment of $2.3 million in Women in the World Media, LLC, which includes our initial investment and additional capital contributions.
