--000000000000e224d306177e1e10 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Team, I reviewed the share purchase agreement ("SPA") and here is the background. This deal closed on 3/23/22 and as part of the transaction 480k of the purchase price was held back to account for indemnity claims. On an annual basis for 3 years post-close, we are required to pay back 1/3 of the holdback amount (160k) within 45 days of the closing date anniversary. This means we should have paid 160k back to the Seller in May 2023. Can you confirm this was done? Legal is not aware of any indemnity claims so this means 160k would be due on 5/6/24. Was this previously accrued? I know Kirk (and Lucas on his deals) would usually work with the finance team. If helpful, happy to jump on a call to discuss further.
