Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] |
Discontinued operations | ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE In the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the Company announced its plans to divest its interests in its Russian securities brokerage and complementary banking operations in Russia ("Russian segment"). On October 17, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with Maxim Povalishin for the sale of 100% of the share capital of its Russian segment. Maxim Povalishin, the purchaser, is currently the Deputy General Director and a member of the Board of Directors of Freedom RU. The transaction is subject to the approval of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and is expected to be completed within the next fiscal quarter. The consideration for the purchase of the Russian Subsidiaries consists of the following: •Mr. Povalishin will be assigned the Company’s obligation to Freedom RU under an outstanding deferred payment in the amount of approximately RUB 6.6 billion (at foreign exchange rate on the reporting date approximately $115 million) (the “Deferred Payment Obligation”) which resulted from the purchase by the Company of 90.43% of the share capital of Freedom RU’s Kazakhstan subsidiary Freedom Finance JSC (“Freedom KZ”) (with its subsidiaries) from Freedom RU as part of a corporate restructuring, as a result of which the Company will become the 100% direct owner of Freedom KZ. The agreement for the purchase of Freedom KZ was entered on September 13, 2022. The transaction was approved by regulatory body and is expected to be finalized during November 2022; and •Mr. Povalishin will pay cash in an amount equal to (x) $140 million less (y) the amount of the Deferred Payment Obligation as translated into U.S. dollars at the official exchange rate on the closing date. The Company has classified the Russia business as discontinued operations as of September 30, 2022 and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, because the subsidiaries to be disposed of in this transaction met the held for sale criteria as of September 30, 2022. The cumulative translation adjustment attributable to the Russian segment of $642 is included within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2022. In light of the Russia/Ukraine Conflict, and the consequent U.S., UK and EU economic sanctions and Russian countersanctions, we were seeking to sell our interests in our three Russian subsidiaries that resulted in a non-cash $41,464 impairment charge, which was recorded as of September 30, 2022, within the line item Net income from discontinued operation on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company will continue to evaluate the Russian segment for changes in the valuation until it is sold.
