Notes to Financial Statements
Spin-off Transactions [Text Block]	4. Spin-off of Red Violet On February 12, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to spin off Red Violet, which was governed by a Separation and Distribution Agreement, as well as other related agreements between the Company and Red Violet, each entered into on February 27, 2018 (collectively, the “Spin-off Agreements”). The Company contributed $19.7 million in cash to Red Violet upon completion of the Spin-off. On February 28, 2018, a Registration Statement on Form 10 was filed by Red Violet with the SEC, which registered the shares of Red Violet that were distributed in the Spin-off. On March 7, 2018, the Company announced that the Board of Directors established March 19, 2018 as the record date ("Record Date") and March 26, 2018 as the distribution date (the “Distribution Date”) for the Spin-off. On March 9, 2018, in order to meet the NASDAQ initial listing requirement of a minimum $4.00 per share bid price, the Company adjusted the Spin-off ratio so that on the Distribution Date, stockholders of the Company received, by way of a dividend, one share of Red Violet common stock for each 7.5 shares of the Company's common stock held as of the Record Date. On March 8, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved the acceleration (the "Acceleration") of an aggregate of 5,157,998 stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and shares of restricted stock held by certain employees, consultants, and directors, including only those employees who would continue with Red Violet upon completion of the Spin-off, subject to such employees still being employed or providing services on the acceleration date, which was subsequently determined to be March 12, 2018 ( the "Acceleration Date"). Accordingly, share-based compensation expense of $15.5 million resulting from the Acceleration was recognized in discontinued operations during the first quarter of 2018.
