Sale-leaseback Transactions

Denton Facility

On June 2, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its manufacturing facility in Denton, Texas for gross proceeds of $5.0 million, less costs associated with the transaction of $0.3 million, or net proceeds of $4.7 million. As a part of the transaction, the Company entered into a lease for the property from the purchaser for an initial period of 13 years.

Prior to the consummation of the above transaction, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with a supplier of the Company at this facility for a period of five years. Due to the Company’s continuing involvement through the sublease agreement, the Company has accounted for the sale-leaseback as a financing liability. Payments made by the Company are allocated between interest expense and a reduction to the sale-leaseback financing liability. The weighted-average effective interest rate of the initial sale-leaseback financing liability is 2.22%.

In June 2017, the Company amended the lease agreement. The amendment extended the lease through June of 2031 and changed the effective weighted average interest rate from the 2.22% to the 4.53%.

As of December 31, 2017, future payments on the sale-leaseback financing liability are as follows (in thousands):
