In May 2014, the Company negotiated an accelerated purchase of Zenara for the remaining 49% for $2,680. As a result, the Company recorded an expense of $4,400 during 2014 representing the release of foreign currency translation adjustments previously recorded in other comprehensive income that were required to be recorded to the income statement as a result of the removal of the investment in partially-owned affiliate due to the full consolidation of Zenara as of the acquisition date.
