  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The accounting policies we follow are set forth in Part II, Item 8, Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies”, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 which was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, included herein, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed, combined or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 and our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the current fiscal year or any other future periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Corsair and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For consolidated entities where we own less than 100% of the equity, our consolidated net comprehensive income (loss) is reduced by the portion attributable to the noncontrolling interest. The ownership interest of other investors is recorded as noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In determining whether an entity is considered a controlled entity, we apply the VIE (variable interest entity) and VOE (voting interest entity) models. Entities that do not qualify as a VIE are assessed for consolidation under the VOE model. Under the VOE model, we consolidate the entity if we determine that we have a controlling financial interest in the entity through our ownership of greater than 50% of the outstanding voting shares of the entity and that other equity holders do not have substantive voting, participating or liquidation rights.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of intangible assets, accounts receivable, sales return reserves, reserves for customer incentives, warranty reserves, inventory, derivative instruments, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the potential impacts from the events in the current economic and geopolitical environment. We adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. The extent to which current macroeconomic conditions, including recent changes in trade regulations and tariffs, as well as developments in international trade regulations and agreements and continued geopolitical unrest will impact our business going forward depends on numerous dynamic factors that we cannot reliably predict. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Making estimates and judgments about future events is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvement to Reportable Segment Disclosure. This ASU updates the reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of a segment's profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment's profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Weadopted this standard in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income tax paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This ASU will result in additional required disclosures in our consolidated financial statements, when adopted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and expect to adopt them for the year ended December 31, 2025.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220) - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires additional disclosures about the nature of expenses included in the income statement, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation and depreciation. This ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and expect to adopt them for the year ended December 31, 2027.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This ASU introduces a practical expedient for the application of the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to current accounts receivable and contract assets. The ASU is effective beginning in the first quarter of interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect the adoption to have material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We expect to adopt this ASU for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2026.

  1. Derivative Financial Instruments

From time to time, we enter into derivative instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. The derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in prepaid expenses and other current assets or other liabilities and accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We do not designate such instruments as hedges for accounting purposes; accordingly, changes in the value of these contracts are recognized in each reporting period in other (expense) income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We donot enter into derivative instruments for trading purposes.

The foreign currency forward contracts generally mature withintwo tofour months. The notional principal amount of outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts was $32.7 million and $35.2 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The net fair value gains (losses) recognized inother expense, net in relation to these derivative instruments was $(3.0) million and $(18) thousand for thethree months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and was $(4.7) million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

  1. Business Combinations

Fanatec Acquisition

On September 13, 2024, one of our subsidiaries, Corsair GmbH (“GmbH”) executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) to purchase the business (the “Fanatec Business”) of Endor AG (“Endor”), which includes certain assets and all the personnel of Endor, as well as the equity interests of certain of Endor’s subsidiaries. Endor was a German public entity that created the leading end-to-end premium Fanatec sim racing product line. The Fanatec sim racing product line, which fully complements our sim racing chassis, gaming PCs, gaming and streaming peripherals, and monitors, has expanded our product offerings in these markets.

The Fanatec APA was consummated on September 19, 2024 (the “Fanatec Acquisition Date”) for a cash purchase consideration of approximately $43.7 million, net of $4.5 million of cash acquired.

Prior to the Fanatec acquisition, another of our subsidiaries, Corsair Components Ltd (“CCL”), entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement (“Bridge Loan”) in May 2024 and a Debtor-In-Possession Loan Agreement (“DIP Loan”) in September 2024 with Endor to provide short-term financing for Endor's operations in connection with our intent to acquire the Fanatec Business through a German restructuring process. Pursuant to the terms of the APA, the total principal and interest owed by Endor to CCL as of the Fanatec Acquisition Date for the Bridge Loan and DIP Loan of approximately $16.6 million, in aggregate, was set-off against the purchase price, and accordingly, on the Fanatec Acquisition Date, GmbH paid CCL $16.6 million cash to settle the Bridge Loan and DIP Loan (including interest of $0.6 million), on behalf of Endor. GmbH paid the remaining $31.6 million purchase consideration to Endor in cash on the Fanatec Acquisition Date.

Because the Fanatec acquisition met the definition of a business, it has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Fanatec’s results of operations are included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations with effect from September 19, 2024.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Fanatec Acquisition Date with measurement period adjustments through June 30, 2025. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized consist of income tax and indirect tax considerations, accounts payable, certain prepaids and other assets, and inventory values. We will continue to reflect measurement period adjustments to purchase price allocation, if any, in the period in which the adjustments are recognized. Final determination of the fair values may result in adjustments to the values presented in the following table (in thousands):

As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

(2)

Measurement period adjustments recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

The fair value of the working capital related items, as well as the fair value of property and equipment approximated their book values at the Fanatec Acquisition Date. The fair value of the inventories was estimated by major category, at an estimate of net realizable value, which we believe approximates the price a market participant could achieve in a current sale. The difference between the fair value of the inventories and the book value recorded on the Fanatec Acquisition Date was $5.4 million, of which we recognized $0.2 million, $0.5 million and $4.7 million in “cost of revenue” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively, upon the sale of the acquired inventory.

The goodwill of $3.6 million represents the expansion of our market presence by utilizing Fanatec's strength and brand in the sim racing market. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes and is assigned to our Peripherals reporting unit.

The $15.1 million identifiable intangible assets acquired include trade name of $11.3 million and product technology of $3.8 million. The fair values of the identified intangible assets were estimated primarily using the income approach and were based on inputs that are not observable in the market, which we consider to be Level 3 inputs. These intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 6 to 15 years, using the straight-line method of amortization. The identifiable intangible assets acquired are deductible for tax purposes.

The acquisition-related costs incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and in the year ended December 31, 2024 were $0.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, and these amounts are included in sales and general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

Pro forma information is not included because the effects of the Fanatec Acquisition were not material to our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented.

  1. Debt

On September 3, 2021, we refinanced the First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement with a new Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. The Credit Agreement provided for a $100.0 million five-year revolving credit facility maturing in September 2026 (the “September 2026 Revolving Facility”)and a $250.0 million five-year term loan facility maturing in September 2026 (the “September 2026 Term Loan”). The Credit Agreement also permitted, subject to conditions stated therein, our ability to incur additional indebtedness pursuant toadditional incremental facilities in a maximum aggregate principal amount not to exceed $250.0 million. Prepayment of the September 2026 Term Loan and the September 2026 Revolving Facility was permitted at any time without premium or penalty. We prepaid$42.75 million and $12.5 million of the September 2026 Term Loan principal in thesix months ended June 30, 2025 and in the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

On June 30, 2025, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. to refinance the Credit Agreement. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for total commitments of $225.0 million, consisting of a $100.0 million five-year revolving credit facility maturing on June 30, 2030 (the “June 2030 Revolving Facility”) and a $125.0 million five-year term loan facility maturing on June 30, 2030 (the “June 2030 Term Loan”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also permits, subject to conditions stated therein, additional incremental facilities in a maximum aggregate principal amount not to exceed $125.0 million. As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding balance of the September 2026 Term Loan under the Credit Agreement of $125.0 million was carried over to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and will be repayable according to the new payment schedule under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement has a variable rate structure. According to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the June 2030 Term Loan and June 2030 Revolving Facility will each bear interest at our election, at either (a) term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a percentage spread (ranging from 1.50% to 2.50%) based on our total net leverage ratio or (b) the base rate (as described in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as the greatest of (i) Bank of America’s prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) one-month term SOFR plus 1.0%) plus a percentage spread (ranging from 0.50% to 1.50%) based on the our total net leverage ratio.

The following table presents the carrying value of our term loans (in thousands):

Less: debt maturing within one year, net6,11612,229
Long-term debt, net$118,283$161,310

As of June 30, 2025, the estimated fair value of the June 2030 Term Loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which we have classified as a Level 2 financial instrument, was approximately $124.6 million.

The unused capacity of the June 2030 Revolving facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was $99.8 million as of June 30, 2025. The unused capacity of the September 2026 Revolving facility under the Credit Agreement was $99.8 million as of December 31, 2024.

The effective interest rate of our June 2030 Term Loan, inclusive of the debt discount and debt issuance costs, was approximately 6.26% and 7.29% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and was approximately 6.21% and 7.39% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2024, respectively.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains covenants with which we must comply during the term of the agreement, which we believe are ordinary and standard for agreements of this nature, including the maintenance of a maximum Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (“CTNL Ratio”) and a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (“CIC Ratio”) (as definedin the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). According to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we are required to maintain a maximum CTNL Ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 and a minimum CIC ratio of 3.00 to 1.00, with the provision that the maximum CTNL Ratio can be temporarily increased to 3.50 to 1.00 upon the occurrence of a Qualified Acquisition (as defined in, and subject to the requirements of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). As of June 30, 2025, we were not in default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Our obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries and secured by a security interest in substantially all of our assets and the assets of the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions detailed in the Amended and Credit Agreement and related ancillary documentation.

Unconditional Purchase Obligations

In the normal course of business, we enter into various purchase commitments for goods or services. Our long-term non-cancelable purchase commitments consist primarily of multi-year contractual arrangements relating to subscriptions for our enterprise resource planning system and the related support services, in addition to commitments related to other cloud computing hosting arrangements. Total long-term non-cancelable purchase commitments as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $2.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Letters of Credit

Letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were each at $0.2 million. No amounts have been drawn upon the letters of credit for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

Legal Proceedings

We may from time to time be involved in various claims and legal proceedings of a character normally incident to the ordinary course of business. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations, and the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict, and our view of these matters may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold. We expense legal fees as incurred and we record a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Based on currently available information, we believe there are no existing claims or proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, or the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable. An unfavorable outcome to any legal matter, if material, could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Indemnification

In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms with respect to certain transactions. We have entered into indemnification agreements with directors and certain officers and employees that will require Corsair, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees. No demands have been made upon Corsair to provide indemnification under such agreements, and thus, there areno claims that we are aware of that could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, or statements of cash flows. We currently have directors’ and officers’ insurance.

  1. Stockholders’ Equity

Shelf-Registration Statement

On July 22, 2022, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which was declared effective August 1, 2022 (the “2022 Shelf Registration Statement”). The 2022 Shelf Registration Statement registered securities to be offered by us, in an amount up to $300.0 million, including common stock, preferred stock and warrants, through August 1, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, $216.7 million remained available for issuance under the 2022 Shelf Registration Statement. In addition, the 2022 Shelf Registration Statement registered 54,179,559 shares of common stock held by the selling securityholders named in the 2022 Shelf Registration Statement, all of which remained unsold as of June 30, 2025. The 2022 Shelf Registration Statement expired on August 1, 2025 and we plan to file a new shelf registration statement on Form S-3 to replace the 2022 Shelf Registration Statement on or about the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

  1. Equity Incentive Plans and Stock-Based Compensation

As of June 30, 2025, we have two active equity incentive plans: the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).

In February 2025, we granted performance stock units (“PSU”) to certain members of our management team under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. The vesting of PSUs is conditional upon the achievement of certain internal financial targets for the year ended December 31, 2025 and these will vest over athree-year service period. The number of units to be earned can range from 0% to 200% of the target shares depending on the achievement of the financial targets. In the event such targets are achieved, one-third of the eligible PSUs would vest and the remaining two-thirds would thereafter vest quarterly over the second and third years, subject to continued service. In the event the minimum targets are not achieved, no PSUs would vest. The compensation expense associated with PSUs is recognized using the accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period, and it is based on the estimated number of shares that is considered probable of vesting. Adjustments to the compensation expense will be made in each reporting period based on changes in our estimate of the number of PSUs that are probable of vesting.

We measure and recognize compensation for all stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, stock purchase rights, restricted stock units (“RSU”) and PSU, based upon the grant-date fair value of those awards. The grant-date fair value of our stock options and stock purchase rights is estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The fair value of our RSUs and PSUs are calculated based on the market value of our stock at the grant date.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense by line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

  1. Income Taxes

The following table presents our loss before income taxes, income tax benefit (expense) and effective income tax rates for all periods presented (in thousands, except percentages):

Three Months EndedJune 30,Six Months EndedJune 30,
2025202420252024
Loss before income taxes$(20,675)$(27,508)$(28,931)$(40,314)
Income tax benefit (expense)3694,001(1,692)5,778
Effective tax rate1.8%14.5%(5.8)%14.3%

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and foreign jurisdictions in which we do business. These foreign jurisdictions have statutory tax rates different from those in the United States. Accordingly, our effective tax rates will vary depending on the relative proportion of foreign to U.S. income, the utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards, changes in geographic mix of income and expense, changes in management’s assessment of matters such as the ability to realize deferred tax assets, and changes in tax laws.

Our effective tax rates were tax benefit of 1.8% and 14.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change in our effective rate in the three-month period was primarily driven by a change in the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate, as well as the impact of valuation allowance on U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets, which reduced the U.S. deferred income tax benefit.

Our effective tax rates were tax expense of(5.8)% and tax benefit of 14.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in our effective rate in the six-month period was primarily due to a change in the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate, and an increase in shortfall tax deficiencies from stock-based compensation.

We assess our deferred tax assets and liabilities to determine if it is more likely than not that they will be realized; if not, a valuation allowance is required to be recorded. Previously, in the third quarter of 2024, we reached a cumulative loss position over the previous three years, and with consideration of other negative evidence, we concluded that it is more likely than not that we will not realize our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. As a result of the foregoing, a full valuation allowance was recorded in the year ended December 31, 2024. The deferred tax liability related to indefinite-lived assets was excluded from sources of future taxable income, as the timing of its reversal cannot be predicted due to the nature of its indefinite life.

Unrecognized tax benefits were $3.3 million as of June 30, 2025 and $3.2 million as of December 31, 2024, respectively, and if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. congressional reconciliation bill, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBB”) was signed into law, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions that may affect our financial results. The OBBB primarily makes permanent many of the tax provisions originally enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and introduces modifications to certain U.S. corporate tax provisions. The OBBB has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of these provisions to our effective tax rate and cash flows for the current fiscal year and future periods.

  1. Segment and Geographic Information and Major Customers

Operating segments are based on components of a company that engage in business activity that earn revenue and incur expenses and (a) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resource allocation and performance and (b) for which discrete financial information is available. By this definition, we have identified our Chief Executive Officer as the CODM. We operate and report intwo segments:

Gamer and Creator Peripherals. Includes our high-performance gaming keyboards, mice, headsets, controllers, and our streaming products, which includes capture cards, Stream Decks, microphones, teleprompters, and audio interfaces, our Facecam streaming cameras, studio accessories, sim racing products, and gaming furniture, among others.

Gaming Components and Systems. Includes our high-performance power supply units, cooling solutions, computer cases, DRAM modules, as well as high-end prebuilt and custom-built gaming PCs and laptops, and gaming monitors, among others.

We believe that this structure reflects our current operational and financial management, and that it provides the best structure for us to focus on growth opportunities while maintaining financial discipline.

Our CODM reviews net revenue, and gross profit of these segments on a regular basis to evaluate the performance of, and allocates resources to, each of the two segments. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocating resources to the segments. Our CODM manages assets on a total company basis, not by operating segments; therefore, segmental asset information is not presented.

  1. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest (“RNCI”)

On January 1, 2022, we acquired a 51% controlling interest in iDisplay and entered into a Shareholders Agreement (the “SHA”) with the iDisplay Seller, which provided a put option to the iDisplay Seller to sell and a call option for us to purchase up to 29% of the remaining interests in iDisplay. The exercise price of the put and call option under the SHA is based on certain prescribed multiples of iDisplay’s historical TTM EBITDA less any debt.

Corsair and the iDisplay Seller did not exercise their call or put option under the SHA, but instead on July 1, 2024 (the “Execution Date”), Corsair entered into the SPAA with the iDisplay Seller to purchase an additional 30% ownership stake in iDisplay for a cash consideration of $19.8 million (the “Additional Purchase Transaction”). The closing conditions of the SPAA were completed on July 8, 2024 (the “Closing Date”) along with our payment of the cash consideration. As a result, our total ownership stake in iDisplay increased from 51% to 81%, and correspondingly, iDisplay Seller's ownership interest in iDisplay decreased from 49% to 19%.

The SPAA also replaced the call option and put option in the SHA with new options. Under the SPAA, a put option (the “Put Option”) was provided to the iDisplay Seller to sell up to 19% of the remaining ownership interest in iDisplay to Corsair within one year after the fifth anniversary date of the Execution Date, and a call option (the “Call Option”) was provided to Corsair to purchase up to 19% of the remaining ownership interest in iDisplay at any time after the second anniversary of the Execution Date. The exercise price of the Put Option and Call Option remain the same as the terms defined in the SHA. In addition, if the founder of iDisplay ceases to serve as the manager of iDisplay, voluntarily or with cause, we are entitled to an irrevocable call option to purchase up to 19% ownership interest in iDisplay at any time during thefive years after the Execution Date and the exercise price is based on a prescribed multiple of TTM EBITDA.

Additionally, according to the SPAA, the remaining 19% interest in iDisplay not acquired by Corsair is subject to redemption by the iDisplay Seller through the Put Option. Since the redemption is not solely within our control, the carrying value of the remaining 19% interest in iDisplay is classified as temporary equity in our consolidated balance sheet effective from the Closing Date.

The following table presents the changes in RNCI for the periods presented (in thousands):
