Direct Sales In France [Abstract] |
Direct Sales In France | 7. Direct Sales in France ﻿ In June 2015 CryoLife signed a Business Transfer Agreement with its French distribution partner to facilitate an orderly transition of the Company to a direct sales model in France. In October 2015 the Company completed the acquisition of a portion of the business of its French distribution partner. The Company acquired in the transaction certain intangible assets, including commercial and business information, assignment of contracts, and a non-compete agreement with its former French distribution partner for a purchase price of €1.2 million or $1.3 million. During the third quarter of 2015 the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary in France, CryoLife France SAS, and certain members of the distributor’s sales team who were responsible for selling the Company’s products in France became employees of the Company’s newly created subsidiary. ﻿
