Pursuant to the Disposition SPA, the Buyer agreed to purchase the Target, and in exchange the Buyer will issue a 5% unsecured promissory note to the Seller with principal amount of $8.5 million with a maturity date on the fourth anniversary of its issuance (the “Note”). Upon the closing of the transaction (the “Disposition”) contemplated by the Disposition SPA, the Buyer will become the sole shareholder of the Target and as a result, assume all assets and liabilities of the Target and subsidiaries owned or controlled by the Target.
