The Transaction was consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement on November 6, 2018 (the “Closing Date”). Prior to and in connection with consummation of the Transaction, Oxford USA and Oxford LLC carried out a corporate restructuring pursuant to which (i) the assets and businesses of Oxford LLC other than the Laboratory Services Business were transferred to Oxford USA and (ii) Oxford LLC was converted into a limited liability company.

Further, approximately $33 million of the gross proceeds received by the Company pursuant to the Transaction, will be paid directly to MidCap Financial Trust (“MidCap”) to repay the outstanding indebtedness under two agreements the Company entered into with MidCap (the “MidCap Agreements”) in October 2016. Pursuant to the MidCap Agreements, MidCap provides the Company with $40 million in debt financing, comprised of both a term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Loan”). The Term Loan provides the Company with a term loan of $30 million, which matures October 4, 2021.
