Construction in progress — On December 7, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with IDEAB Project Eesti AS (“IDEAB”) for the construction of an office building within the High Technologies Park in Minsk, Belarus (the “Construction Agreement”). At the same time, the Company entered into a related investment agreement with the Minsk Executive Committee acting on behalf of the Republic of Belarus (the “Investment Agreement”) permitting the Company to use land located in the government’s High Technologies Park to construct the new office building and granting certain tax benefits. The Investment Agreement specified a completion deadline for construction of September 15, 2012 extended by the parties to December 31, 2014, the Company is negotiating a further extension to July 1, 2015. Per the Investment Agreement, if the Company does not meet the completion deadline, monthly penalties may be imposed; the most recent extension of the Investment Agreement increases the monthly penalty to $20 per month for the period beginning January 1, 2015. There may be further terms and conditions imposed on the Company in a further extension of the Investment Agreement. If the Investment Agreement is terminated, the Company could be required to disgorge certain tax benefits received by the Company in connection with the project and could potentially be required to fully restore the land to its original condition. The Company has not been required to pay any penalties to date. The Company has secured the required building construction permits and is working toward completion of the building. The Company believes that the building will be completed and available for its use in 2015, and that any penalties or loss of tax benefits will not be material to the accompanying financial statements. The Construction Agreement committed IDEAB to construct an office building for the Company in Minsk with a committed completion date of February 28, 2014. In April 2014 IDEAB stopped its construction before the building’s completion, for reasons unrelated to the Company’s performance under the Construction Agreement. In May 2014, IDEAB notified the Company that it was unable to continue as general contractor to complete the construction of the building in time and on the terms agreed. As a result, the Company took control over the construction site. On July 7, 2014, the Company provided IDEAB with notice of termination of the Construction Agreement, effective on or about July 11, 2014. The Company filed a legal action against IDEAB in Belarus in August 2014, claiming breach of contract. In September 2014, the court decided in the Company’s favor and directed IDEAB to pay the Company $1,000 plus reimbursement of certain expenses. The Company is pursuing recovery from IDEAB of this amount. The Company has filed other lawsuits seeking recovery from IDEAB of additional amounts (including future work and construction materials) from IDEAB. These lawsuits are in various stages of litigation and it is not possible to estimate the likelihood of recovery. At December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $17,885 of capitalized construction costs and estimated up to $8.2 million of additional investment required to complete the construction and put the building into operation. The Company estimates that the building construction will be completed by June 30, 2015. In addition, up to $4,500 of advance payments issued to IDEAB for future work and construction materials under the Construction Agreement may not be recoverable. As of December 31, 2014, the Company estimated the amount of probable losses under the Construction Agreement at $2,593. These costs were recorded within the Company’s consolidated income from operations during the year ended December 31, 2014. Based on the information known to the Company at this time, any additional liability related to this matter is not reasonably estimable. Indemnification Obligations — In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to a variety of agreements under which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters. These obligations typically arise in contracts where the Company customarily agrees to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants for certain matters such as title to assets and intellectual property rights associated with certain arrangements. The duration of these indemnifications varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances of each agreement and the fact that certain indemnifications provide for no limitation to the maximum potential future payments under the indemnification. Management is not aware of any such matters that historically had or would have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company. Litigation — From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation, claims or other contingencies. Management is not aware of any such matters that would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
