9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2018

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]

On August 30, 2018, we closed on a previously disclosed definitive asset purchase agreement with Specialty Surgical Instrumentation Inc., a Tennessee Corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Symmetry Surgical Inc. (“Symmetry”), pursuant to which the Company divested and sold the Company's electrosurgical "Core" business segment and related intellectual property, including the Bovie^® brand and trademarks, to Symmetry for gross proceeds of $97 million in cash.

In connection with the asset purchase agreement, we entered into a previously disclosed Electro Surgical Disposables and Accessories, Cauteries and Other Products Supply Agreement with Symmetry for a four-year term, whereby we will manufacture certain Core products and sell them to Symmetry at agreed upon prices. Any revenue, costs and expenses resulting from this agreement are netted and reported in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as Other gains or losses.

Additionally, in connection with the asset purchase agreement, we entered into a previously disclosed Manufacture and Supply Agreement with Symmetry for a ten-year term, whereby we will manufacture certain products and sell them to Symmetry at agreed upon prices. Revenue, costs and expenses resulting from this agreement are reported in our Consolidated Statements as income or loss from operations of our OEM reporting segment.

We concluded that the divestiture of the Core business met the criteria for discontinued operations set forth in ASC No. 205, Presentation of Financial Statements.
