(9) Related Party Transactions During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, certain of TruePosition’s costs and expenses were charged to TruePosition by Liberty. The amounts due to Liberty and the activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is summarized as follows (amounts in thousands):
Historically, TruePosition also had an intercompany note arrangement with Liberty under which funds could be advanced to Liberty and remitted back to TruePosition as needed. The note bore interest at the three-month LIBOR plus 2%. During September 2014, prior to the completion of the Broadband Spin-Off, Liberty remitted back to TruePosition all principal and accrued interest related to this note and this arrangement was extinguished. Accordingly, no amounts are outstanding pursuant to this arrangement at September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014. Prior to the completion of the Broadband Spin-Off, TruePosition was party to certain tax sharing arrangements with Liberty (or its former affiliate). Under these tax-sharing arrangements, TruePosition had been obligated to make cash payments to Liberty (or its former affiliate) in each year TruePosition generated positive taxable income, determined as if TruePosition filed a separate tax return. The amount of such payment had been equal to the amount of TruePosition’s taxable income (as so determined) multiplied by the highest corporate tax rate in effect for the applicable tax jurisdiction. If on a separate return basis, TruePosition would have a net operating loss or net tax credit for a particular year, and such loss or credit could be utilized on the actual tax returns filed by Liberty (or its former affiliate), then TruePosition would be entitled to reduce current and future payments to Liberty (or its former affiliate) by the amount of such tax benefit. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, $5.3 million due to TruePosition from Liberty was transferred to the note receivable from Liberty under this arrangement. During October 2014, prior to the Broadband Spin-Off, TruePosition’s income tax receivable from Liberty was transferred to Liberty Broadband and the tax sharing arrangement between Liberty and TruePosition was extinguished.
