Note 11.  Financing Arrangements

On January 30, 2015, we sold our corporate headquarters facility in Beverly Massachusetts for $48.9 million. As part of the sale, we also entered into a 22-year lease agreement of our headquarters facility. This sale-leaseback is accounted for as a financing lease under generally accepted accounting principles and, as such, we have recorded a financing obligation of $48.5 million as of September 30, 2019.  Our current lease payments are interest only payments. Commencing in April 2020, the associated lease payments will include both an interest component and payment of principal, with the remaining liability being extinguished at the end of the original lease term. We posted a security deposit of $5.9 million in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit at the time of the closing. This letter of credit is cash collateralized and the associated cash is included in long-term restricted cash.
