Indemnification liabilities

In connection with the CWAE Divestiture, the Company indemnified respective parties against certain liabilities that may arise related to certain contracts with certain investees of Accolade, a certain facility in the U.K. and a certain income tax matter. As a result, the Company recorded liabilities with a fair value of $26.1 million at January 31, 2011. During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company was released from one of its guarantees related to a contract with a certain investee of Accolade. In connection with this release, the Company recognized a gain of $0.7 million, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended November 30, 2011. As of November 30, 2011, and February 28, 2011, the carrying amount of these indemnification liabilities was $25.4 million and $26.1 million, respectively. If the indemnified party were to incur a liability, pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, the Company would be required to reimburse the indemnified party. As of November 30, 2011, the Company estimates that these indemnifications could require the Company to make potential future payments of up to $330.9 million under these indemnifications with $282.1 million of this amount subject to recovery by the Company from third parties under recourse provisions. The Company does not expect to be required to make material payments under the indemnifications and the Company believes that the likelihood is remote that the indemnifications could have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.
