Sale of Oxford Analytica and Dragonfly

On February 21, 2025 (the "Signing Date"), the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement (the "Equity Purchase Agreement") with Factiva Ltd., ("Factiva") a limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales, providing for the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests in each of Dragonfly Eye Limited, a UK private limited company (“Dragonfly”), and The Oxford Analytica International Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Oxford” and collectively with Dragonfly, the “Sold Businesses”). At closing of the sale on March 31, 2025, after adjustments based on the Sold Businesses estimated working capital, indebtedness, and transaction expenses, the Company received $40,000 in cash (excluding $400 of the purchase price that was deposited into escrow to satisfy certain potential post-closing purchase price adjustments and indemnification claims and including $813 of cash acquired by Factiva). The Equity Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and indemnification obligations of the parties customary for transactions similar to those contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement. As a result of the sale, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain on disposal of $15,260. The purchase price is subject to adjustment pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement; accordingly, the gain on sale may increase, or decrease, as the case may be, upon finalization of the purchase price.

The proceeds from the sale were used in part to prepay and retire $27,136 of term loans under the Prior Senior Term Loan, and pay $1,793 of related prepayment and exit fees associated with the retired amount. The remaining $11,071 of net proceeds were retained by the Company to pay for related transaction costs, cash taxes that may result from the sale, and general corporate purposes. As part of the sale, the Company recorded a current tax receivable for federal and state income tax of $281.

The Company determined that Oxford Analytica and Dragonfly were not significant subsidiaries, and their sale did not constitute a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company’s operations or financial results. As a result, the results of operations for the Sold Businesses were not reported as discontinued operations under the guidance of ASC 205 “Presentation of Financial Statements."
