There were no impairment charges related to Goodwill in any of the periods presented. As of May 31, 2020, $66.7 of Goodwill is attributable to a reporting unit whose fair value reasonably exceeds carrying value. This reporting unit is associated with the Education segment. If there is a continued adverse impact on the school-based market related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will need to reassess the Goodwill related to this reporting unit for impairment, as well as other related assets including prepublication costs. In fiscal 2019, the Company completed the purchase of a majority-ownership position in MBI, a UK-based children's book publishing business, resulting in the recognition of $6.3 of Goodwill. See Note 11, "Acquisitions," for more information. The following table summarizes Other intangibles for the fiscal years ended May 31:

Intangible assets with indefinite lives consist principally of trademark and tradename rights. Intangible assets with definite lives consist principally of customer lists, intellectual property, tradenames and other agreements. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The weighted-average remaining useful lives of all amortizable intangible assets is approximately 5.7 years.
