The Company has recorded $11.8 million pursuant to an equity method investment with respect to its remaining 33% ownership interest in Vibrant. The Company is finalizing working capital adjustments and the purchase price escrow will be held in escrow for a period of 12 months after the closing to secure the Company’s indemnification obligations.
