In connection with the acquisition of ION, we assumed $25.3 million of uncertain tax position liabilities. Approximately $21.0 million of that liability was attributed to disallowed domestic production activities deductions (DPAD). During 2021, we have reached agreement with the IRS for settlement of $12.5 million of the DPAD liability. We would expect the remaining liability to be resolved within the next twelve months.
