Consequently, non-cash charges of $7.6 million were recorded to reduce the carrying value of mastheads, which are non-amortized intangible assets. No impairment related to goodwill or property, plant and equipment was identified during this period. The fair value of these mastheads were determined using the relief from royalty method and includes Level 3 inputs, which are fair values estimated using significant unobservable inputs. The key assumptions used in the fair value estimates under the relief from royalty method are revenue and market growth, royalty rates for newspaper mastheads, estimated tax rates, and appropriate risk-adjusted weighted cost of capital. The royalty rates utilized range from 0% to 1.0%. The weighted average cost of capital utilized is 12.5%. Such charges are recorded in assets loss (gain) on sales, impairments and other, net in the Consolidated Statements of loss and Comprehensive loss. <div

The Rights Agreement will continue in effect until March 27, 2025, or unless earlier redeemed or terminated by the Company, as provided in the Rights Agreement.
