The purchase price was composed of $9.8 million cash paid at closing; a $3 million, two-year seller’s note; and the issuance of 255,000 shares of common stock, representing just under five percent of Asure’s outstanding shares. Asure financed the deal via a new debt financing facility. In addition to funding the acquisition, the new facility allowed Asure to re-finance certain of its existing debt.
