Under the terms of the definitive agreement between the parties, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Vivasure for €100 million, or approximately €52 million net of the value of certain previous investments and other loans made by the Company to Vivasure as well as other customary closing adjustments, and up to an additional €85 million in contingent consideration based on sales growth and the achievement of certain other milestones, also subject to adjustment based on the value of certain prior investments and loan amounts. The Company financed this transaction through available cash on hand.
