On October 9, 2013, we entered into an agreement to repurchase $500,000 of our common stock from Liberty Media. Pursuant to this agreement, we repurchased 43,712,265 shares of our common stock for $160,000 from Liberty Media in 2013. On April 25, 2014, we completed the final purchase installment and repurchased 92,888,561 shares of our common stock for $340,000 from Liberty Media at a price of $3.66 per share. As there were certain terms in the forward purchase contract with Liberty Media that could have caused the obligation not to be fulfilled, the instrument was classified as a liability and was marked to fair value with any gain or loss recorded to our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. We recognized $34,485 and $20,393 to Loss on change in value of derivatives in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
