to the previously announced Escrow Agreement entered into by the Company and Vecima on December 15, 2017, the Company received $29,020,000 on the closing date, and may receive additional consideration, or be required to return a portion of the consideration received on the closing date, based on a final determination of the Business’ net working capital as of the closing date. to the Escrow Agreement entered into by the Company and Vecima, $1.45 million of the purchase price will be held by SunTrust Bank as security for the Company’s indemnification obligations to Vecima under the Asset Purchase Agreement, which amount will be released to the Company on or before December 31, 2018 (less any portion used to make indemnification payments to Vecima).

The closing of the sale of the Assets to Vecima resulted in a “change in control” under our Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Incentive Plan.
