Finbond As of September 30, 2020, the Company owned 268,820,933 shares in Finbond representing approximately 31% of its issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Finbond is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (“JSE”) and its closing price on September 30, 2020, the last trading day of the month, was ZAR 1.04 per share. The market value, using the September 30, 2020, closing price, of the Company’s holding in Finbond on September 30, 2020, was ZAR 279.6 million ($16.6 million translated at exchange rates applicable as of September 30, 2020). Finbond recently published its half-year results to August 2020, which included the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its reported results during the reporting period. Finbond incurred losses during the six months to August 2020, and experienced a slow-down in its lending activities. Finbond reported that its lending activities have increased again, albeit at a slower pace compared with the prior calendar period. Finbond’s share price declined substantially during the period from its fiscal year end (February 2020) to September 30, 2020, and the weakness in its traded share price continued post September 30, 2020. The Company considered the combination of the slow-down in business activity and the lower share price as impairment indicators. The Company performed an impairment assessment of its holding in Finbond as of September 30, 2020. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $16.8 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, related to the other-than-temporary decrease in Finbond’s value, which represented the difference between the determined fair value of the Company’s interest in Finbond and the Company’s carrying value (before the impairment). There is limited trading in Finbond shares on the JSE because it has three shareholders that own approximately 90% of its issued and outstanding shares between them. The Company calculated a fair value per share for Finbond by applying a liquidity discount of 15% to the September 30, 2020, Finbond closing price. 5.Equity-accounted investments and other long-term assets (continued) Equity-accounted investments (continued) V2 Limited In June 2020, V2 Limited drew down $0.5 million of the $5.0 million working capital facility granted by the Company to V2. In September 2020, the Company agreed to grant V2 an option to acquire the Company’s entire interest in V2 for an option price of $5.0 million plus the face value of the outstanding working capital facility. The option expires on December 31, 2020, and may be exercised at any time through the expiration date. The Company and V2 also agreed to reduce the $5.0 million working capital facility to $1.5 million. In October 2020, V2 drew down the remaining available $1.0 million of the working capital facility. Summarized below is the movement in equity-accounted investments and loans provided to equity-accounted investments during the three months ended September 30, 2020:
