At the closing, the Company paid the Shareholders $2,100,000 in cash and 50,467 shares of the Company’s unregistered shares common stock, which shares were valued at $200,000 based on a per share price of $3.96 (the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the five trading days before the closing date). In addition, the Company agreed to pay the Shareholders up to an additional $800,000 in cash as an earn-out over the next three years if Rel-Tech meets certain financial milestones in the next three years.
