Any post-closing adjustments are generally limited to certain adjustments in accounts payable and indemnification obligations in accordance with the 365 SPA. Upon completion of the sale, $0.4 million of the total cash proceeds was placed into certain restricted accounts (the “Restricted Accounts”) held as security for our 2021 Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Senior Convertible Notes”) while $0.1 million was subject to a hold-back (the “365 Holdback”) by the Buyers to be released to us and also placed into the Restricted Accounts after all post-closing adjustments, if any, are resolved.
