The preliminary purchase price is $15,000,000, subject to the completion of two third party appraisals, or the Appraisals, with a $12,000,000 deposit due upon the initial closing of the transaction. The final purchase price will be set forth based on the median of the Appraisals, and Purchaser and Seller will adjust accordingly the final amount paid on or before a final closing date. The Company used available cash on hand to fund the transaction.
