[1] | In January 2022, an audit of ManJer’s tax returns (a Jersey-based subsidiary) for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018 were resolved in favor of ManJer. The settlement, as well as the reduction in unrecognized tax benefits from the lapse of the statute of limitations totaling $19,897 during the three months ended March 31, 2022, was recorded as an income tax benefit with an equal and offsetting amount recorded in other losses, net, to recognize a reduction in the indemnification asset. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, an income tax benefit of $5,171 was recorded along with an equal and offsetting amount in other losses, net.
[2] | The gross unrecognized tax benefits were accrued in British pounds.
