The price per share for the Common Shares was $2.00, and the aggregate repurchase price was $9,630,220. The Company funded the transaction from available cash.

Company shall not have any further obligations to any of the Sellers, and the Sellers (and any affiliate of any of the Sellers) shall not have any rights under any such agreements.
