The remainder of the purchase price will be paid to the Sellers over a two-year period. The Company will pay an aggregate of $12,500,000 in cash together with shares of Common Stock valued in the aggregate at $12,500,000 (the “Deferred Shares”) in two equal installments on December 30, 2022 and December 29, 2023. The number of Deferred Shares will be calculated based on the average price of the Common Stock for the five (5) day trading period immediately before the applicable payment date.   The foregoing description of the Acquisition is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.   The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the Sellers contained in the Purchase Agreement have been made solely for the benefit of the parties thereto. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants (a) have been made only for purposes of the Purchase Agreement, (b) have been qualified by confidential disclosures made in the disclosure schedules delivered in connection with the Purchase Agreement, (c) are subject to materiality qualifications contained in the Purchase Agreement, which may differ from what may be viewed as material by investors, (d) were made only as of the date of the Purchase Agreement or such other date as is specified in the Purchase Agreement and (e) have been included in the Purchase Agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between the contracting parties rather than establishing matters as fact.

Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties or covenants, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, Spectrum or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.   The Company has determined that the Acquisition was not significant under Section 11-01(b) of Regulation S-X and that such financial statements and pro forma financial statements are therefore not required to be filed.   Item 3.02.
