Direct Sales In France [Abstract] |
Direct Sales In France | 9. Direct Sales in France ﻿ In June 2015 we signed a Business Transfer Agreement with our French distribution partner to facilitate an orderly transition to a direct sales model in France. In October 2015 we completed the acquisition of a portion of the business of our French distribution partner. We acquired in the transaction certain intangible assets, including commercial and business information, assignment of contracts, and a non-compete agreement with our former French distribution partner for a purchase price of €1.2 million or $1.3 million. During the third quarter of 2015 we established a wholly owned subsidiary in France, CryoLife France SAS, and certain members of the distributor’s sales team who were responsible for selling our products in France became employees of the our newly created subsidiary.
