Investment in JJB Sports | Investment in JJB Sports On April 27, 2012, the Company invested an aggregate of £20 million in JJB Sports, a retail sports company based in the United Kingdom, consisting of junior secured convertible notes ("Convertible Notes") in the principal amount of £18.75 million and 12.5 million ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") of JJB Sports for £1.25 million, for a total cash outlay of $32.0 million. The Company classified its investments in JJB Sports as available-for-sale investments, which were recorded at fair value. As of July 28, 2012, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $30.4 million on the Convertible Notes and $2.0 million on the Ordinary Shares within the Consolidated Statements of Income, fully impairing the carrying value of its investment as of July 28, 2012. The Company's initial fair value of its investment in the Convertible Notes was determined using a binomial lattice model with Level 2 inputs, including JJB Sports' stock price, the expected stock price volatility, the interest rate on the Convertible Notes, the risk-free interest rate based upon appropriate government yield curves and option-adjusted spreads for comparable securities. Due to the use of discounted expected future cash flows to derive the fair value of the Convertible Notes, the Company reclassified its investment as a Level 3 investment (see Note 16) during the fiscal quarter ended July 28, 2012. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company recorded $4.3 million related to the partial recovery of its fully impaired investment in JJB Sports. The Company has received, and may receive in future periods, additional immaterial recoveries.
