Note 12– Cancellation of Revenue Sharing Agreements

On July 27, 2016 the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release of All Claims (“Agreement”) with Charles D. Nyberg and Mary J. Nyberg, individually and as Trustees of the CDMJ Nyberg Family Trust (collectively, the “Nybergs”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, on August 26, 2016, the Company made a one-time lump-sum payment in the amount of $3.4 million (the “Settlement Payment”). In consideration of the Settlement Payment, all legal claims brought against the Company by the Nybergs pursuant to a lawsuit, will be settled. Additionally, in consideration of the Settlement Payment, the Nybergs, who owned the rights to and interests in 50% of each of the Florida Revenue Sharing Agreement and the Texas Revenue Sharing Agreement (together, the “RSAs”) terminated their rights to these interests in the RSAs, resulting in a 50% reduction in the Company’s ongoing payment obligations under the RSAs. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Nybergs no longer have the rights to share in a portion of the Company’s storage revenues derived from specimens which originated in the states of Florida and Texas, including all rights to any storage revenues generated and unpaid prior to the date of the Agreement including entitlements that were due for the quarter ended May 31, 2016. The payment amount of $3.4 million was offset by the carrying amount of the long-term liability related to the RSAs in the amount of $875,000 and accrued expenses in the amount of $272,612 to reflect the extinguishment of revenue sharing agreements in the amount of $2,252,388 for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016.
