[1] As of September 30, 2014, $15,565 of common stock repurchases had not settled, nor been retired, and were recorded as Treasury stock within our unaudited consolidated balance sheets and unaudited consolidated statements of stockholders' equity.
[2] In May 2014, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the "May ASR Agreement") and prepaid $600,000 to a third-party financial institution to repurchase our common stock. Under the May ASR Agreement, we received 151,846,125 shares of our common stock that were retired upon receipt. Upon settlement of the May ASR Agreement in August 2014, we received $93,596 for the unused portion of the original prepayment.
[3] In August 2014, we entered into a second accelerated share repurchase agreement (the "August ASR Agreement") with a third-party financial institution to repurchase up to $250,000 of our common stock. Under the August ASR Agreement, we prepaid $250,000 to the financial institution, of which $68,118 related to repurchases that settled on October 1, 2014. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we received 51,884,795 shares of our common stock that were retired upon receipt. Upon settlement of the August ASR Agreement on October 1, 2014, we received an additional 19,431,708 shares of our common stock that were retired upon receipt. The aggregate purchase price we paid and the total aggregate number of shares repurchased under the August ASR Agreement were determined based on the VWAP of our common stock minus a discount.
[4] 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 $160,000 of our common stock 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 unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income. We recognized $34,485 to Loss on change in value of derivatives in our unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
