As part of the Company’s effort to reduce general and administrative expenses through a planned space consolidation at its Arlington, Virginia
headquarters location, the Company incurred a lease abandonment charge of $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Prior to January 31, 2014,
the Company occupied the 6th and 7th floors at its Arlington, Virginia headquarters. The Company estimated the liability under the operating lease
agreements and accrued lease abandonment costs in accordance with ASC 420,  ("ASC 420"), as the Company has no future
economic benefit from the abandoned space and the lease does not terminate until December 31, 2018. All leased space related to the 6th floor was
abandoned and ceased to be used by the Company on January 31, 2014.
In March 2013 Rosetta Stone Japan Inc. partially abandoned its Japan office as a result of excess office space due to reduction in staff along with overall
local operations business performance. The Company estimated the liability under the operating lease agreement reduced for anticipated sublease income in
accordance with ASC 420 as the Company had no future economic benefit from the abandoned space and the lease did not terminate until February 28,
2015. As of March 31, 2014, the Company ceased to use the remaining office space in this facility and simultaneously negotiated and paid a lease
termination fee of $0.4 million. The Company has been released from all obligations under the lease arrangement as of December 31, 2014.
