Royalty settlement of future royalties

On January 24, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Arthrex (the "Arthrex Asset Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell the assets of its joint arthroplasty division, referred to as the Reconstructive Division, to Arthrex. The Arthrex Asset Purchase Agreement also provided for the Company to receive royalty payments equal to 5% of net sales of the Company's products made by Arthrex on a quarterly basis for a term up to and including the 20th anniversary of the June 10, 2011 closing date. These amounts were reflected as royalty income on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

On May 5, 2016, the Company entered into a Royalty Settlement and Release Agreement (the "Royalty Settlement and Release Agreement") with Arthrex, whereby Arthrex agreed to pay the Company $5,642,302 (the "Royalty Payment") in full satisfaction of all amounts due or payable, or which could become payable under the Arthrex Asset Purchase Agreement. Of the Royalty Payment, $142,302 of the amount represented royalty income due to the Company under the Arthrex Asset Purchase Agreement through the date of the Royalty Settlement and Release Agreement, and the remaining $5,500,000 represented the settlement of future royalties. The Royalty Settlement and Release Agreement became effective on July 1, 2016 upon the receipt of the Royalty Payment.
