Note 11. License and Asset Sale Transaction

 

On August 5, 2022, the Company entered into a Technology License and Patent Assignment Agreement (the Intel Agreement) with Intel Corporation (Intel), pursuant to which Intel: (i) licensed from the Company, on an exclusive basis, certain software and technology assets related to the Company’s Stellar packet classification intellectual property, including its graph memory engine technology, and any roadmap variant, in the form existing as of the date of the Agreement (the Licensed Technology); (ii) acquired from the Company certain patent applications and patents owned by the Company; and (iii) assumed a professional services agreement, dated March 24, 2020, between Fabulous Inventions AB (Fabulous) and the Company, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company licensed from Fabulous certain technology incorporated into the Licensed Technology.

 

As consideration for the Company to enter into the Agreement, Intel paid the Company $3,062,500 in August 2022 and $437,500 (the Holdback) in January 2023 upon the satisfaction by the Company of certain release criteria set forth in the Intel Agreement regarding the Licensed Technology.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $2,600,000 on this transaction, net of transaction costs, which was recorded as a reduction of operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.  In January 2023, upon receipt of the Holdback, the Company recognized a gain, net of transaction costs, which was also recorded as a reduction of operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
