(a)Each quarter, pursuant to an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) executed in April 2008 and with terms amended in September 2022, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is eligible to receive an award (the “Employment Agreement Award”) amount equal to approximately 4% of any proceeds from distributions or other liquidity events in excess of the return of the Company’s aggregate investment in TV One. The Company reviews the factors underlying this award at the end of each quarter including the valuation of TV One (based on the estimated enterprise fair value of TV One as determined by the income approach using a discounted cash flow analysis and the market approach using comparable public company multiples). Significant inputs to the discounted cash flow analysis include revenue growth rates, future operating profit margins, and discount rate. Significant inputs to the market approach include publicly held peer companies and recurring EBITDA multiples.

(b)The redeemable noncontrolling interest in Reach Media is measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow methodology. Significant inputs to the discounted cash flow analysis include revenue growth rates, future operating profit margins, discount rate and terminal growth rate.

(c)The investment in MGM National Harbor was preferred stock that had a non-transferable put right and is classified as an available-for-sale debt security. The investment was initially measured at fair value using a dividend discount model. Significant inputs to the dividend discount model include revenue growth rates, discount rate and a terminal growth rate. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the investment’s fair value was measured using a contractual valuation approach. This method relied on a contractually agreed upon formula established between the Company and MGM National Harbor as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of MGM National Harbor, LLC (“the Agreement”) rather than market-based inputs or traditional valuation methods. As defined in the Agreement, the calculation of the put was based on operating results, Enterprise Value and the Put Price Multiple. The inputs used in this measurement technique were specific to the entity, MGM National Harbor, and there are no current observable prices for investments in private companies that are comparable to MGM National Harbor. The inputs used to measure the fair value of this security are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Throughout the periods from the fourth quarter of 2020 up until the third quarter of 2022, the Company relied on the dividend discount model for valuation
purposes based on the facts, circumstances, and information available at the time. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company adopted the contractual valuation method described above as it believes it more closely approximates the fair value of the investment at that time.

(d)The Company measures and reports its cash equivalents that are invested in money market funds at estimated fair value.
