Subsequent Events	13. Subsequent events On July 31, 2018, the Company completed a change in its jurisdiction of organization from Curaçao to the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”) in accordance with the conversion procedures of Articles 304 and 305 of Book 2 of the Curaçao Civil Code and the domestication procedures of Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company’s shareholders approved a proposal to adopt a shareholders’ resolution authorizing the Domestication at the Company’s 2018 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on July 17, 2018 (the “Annual General Meeting”) by the affirmative vote of shareholders representing an absolute majority of the outstanding common shares of the Company as of the record date for the Annual General Meeting. Upon the effectiveness of the Domestication, each common share of Orthofix International N.V. was automatically converted into one share of common stock of Orthofix Medical Inc. The Company’s common stock continues to be traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “OFIX.” On July 31, 2018, the Company amended and restated its existing Credit Agreement with JPMorgan, the Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto pursuant to a First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is substantially the same as the existing Credit Agreement, except for certain amendments to, among other things, (i) effectuate the domestication of the Company from a Curaçao company to a Delaware corporation, (ii) limit the pledge by the Company and each domestic subsidiary of the Company of equity interests in their respective first tier foreign subsidiaries to 65% of the voting interests in such foreign subsidiaries, (iii) limit the guarantee and joint and several obligations of each subsidiary guarantor that is a foreign subsidiary so that such foreign subsidiary guarantors are only providing guarantees, or are jointly and severally obligated, for obligations of other foreign subsidiaries, and (iv) limit the secured obligations that are secured by collateral provided by subsidiary guarantors that are foreign subsidiaries to secured obligations of foreign subsidiaries. In addition, during July 2018, a court in a pending legal action issued an order resulting in the freezing of approximately $2.5 million in cash. Orthofix contests the underlying basis for the order.
