(1)
Represents aggregate earn-out liabilities for the Company’s acquisitions of WOI, RMG, navAero and masFlight assumed in business combinations for the year ended December 31, 2015.

(2)
Includes 6,173,228 Public SPAC Warrants (as defined below) outstanding at December 31, 2017, which expired on January 31, 2018 and are no longer exercisable.

(3)
In connection with the Sound Recording Settlements, (as described below in Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies) the Company is obligated to issue to UMG (as defined in that Note) 500,000 shares of its common stock when and if the closing price of the Company's common stock exceeds $10.00 per share and an additional 400,000 shares of common stock when and if the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $12.00 per share. Such contingently issuable shares are classified as liabilities and are re-measured to fair value each reporting period.

(4)
The Company’s cash-settled phantom stock options, granted during 2018, are accounted for as liability awards and are re-measured at fair value each reporting period with compensation expense being recognized over the requisite service period. As of December 31, 2018, the aggregate estimated fair value of the Company’s cash-settled phantom stock options was $6.7 million, for which the vested portion recognized as a liability in its Consolidated Balance Sheets was $1.6 million. The cash-settled phantom stock options are described in more detail in Note 12. Common Stock, Stock-Based Awards and Warrants.

(+) This facility is a component of the 2017 Credit Agreement
(1)
The estimated fair value is classified as Level 2 financial instrument and was determined based on the quoted prices of the instrument in an over-the-counter market.
(2)
The estimated fair value is considered to approximate carrying value given the short-term maturity and is classified as Level 3 financial instruments. In the second quarter of 2018, the Company used a portion of the proceeds of the issuance of its Second Lien Notes to repay the then full outstanding $78 million principal balance on its 2017 Revolving Loans. Subsequently, during the third quarter of 2018, the Company borrowed approximately $54.0 million on the 2017 Revolving Loans. The Company expect to draw on the 2017 Revolving Loans from time to time to fund its working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes.
(3)
The fair value of the 2.75% Convertible Notes is exclusive of the conversion feature therein, which was originally allocated for reporting purposes at $13.0 million, and is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within “Additional paid-in capital” (see Note 12. Common Stock, Stock-Based Awards and Warrants). The principal amount outstanding of the Convertible Notes was $82.5 million as of December 31, 2018, and the carrying amounts in the foregoing table reflect this outstanding principal amount on a gross basis and not net of debt issuance costs and discount associated with the equity component.
(4)
The principal amount outstanding of the Second Lien Notes, due June 2023 as set forth in the foregoing table was $158.5 million as of December 31, 2018, and is not the carrying amount of the indebtedness (i.e. outstanding principal amount net of debt issuance costs and discount associated with the equity component and includes approximately $8.5 million of payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest converted to principal during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018). The value allocated to the attached penny warrants and market warrants for financial reporting purposes was $14.9 million and $9.3 million, respectively. These qualify for classification in stockholders’ equity and are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within “Additional paid-in capital” (see Note 9. Financing Arrangements).
(5)
The fair value of the Second Lien Notes was determined based on a Black-Derman-Toy interest rate Lattice model. The key inputs of the valuation model contain certain Level 3 inputs.
(6)
The estimated fair value is considered to approximate carrying value given the short-term maturity and is classified as Level 3 financial instruments.
(7)
The carrying amounts presented above at December 31, 2018 and 2017, exclude $65.2 million and $41.1 million of unamortized bond discounts and issuance costs, respectively.
