Assets Held for Sale We have identified certain properties that we intended to sell as they do not meet our strategic goals and have classified them as held for sale in our December 31, 2014 consolidated balance sheet. In connection with this revised classification, we have recorded an impairment loss of approximately $3.0 million in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition of Stewart, we agreed to a consent order with the staff of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that identifies certain properties the FTC required us to divest as a result of the acquisition. The consent order has been approved by the FTC commissioners. As a result, these properties were classified as assets held for sale in our December 31, 2013 consolidated balance sheet.
