Closing of the Acquisition was completed following satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition, PopReach made a US$3 million cash payment to Brainbow Limited. An additional US$2 million is payable on completion of certain post-closing transitional matters, to be completed within two months of closing.
