Discontinued Operations
 
On
March 3, 2017,
the Company completed the sale to Cardinal Health
414
of its assets used, held for use, or intended to be used in operating its business of developing, manufacturing and commercializing a product used for lymphatic mapping, lymph node biopsy, and the diagnosis of metastatic spread to lymph nodes for staging of cancer, including the Company’s radioactive diagnostic agent marketed under the Lymphoseek
®
trademark for current approved indications by the FDA and similar indications approved by the FDA in the future, in Canada, Mexico and the United States. In exchange for the Acquired Assets, Cardinal Health
414
(i) made a cash payment to the Company at closing of approximately
$80.6
million after adjustments based on inventory being transferred and an advance of
$3.0
million of guaranteed earnout payments as part of the CRG settlement, (ii) assumed certain liabilities of the Company associated with the Product as specified in the Purchase Agreement, and (iii) agreed to make periodic earnout payments (to consist of contingent payments and milestone payments which, if paid, will be treated as additional purchase price) to the Company based on net sales derived from the purchased Product. On
April 2, 2018,
the Company entered into an Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment, Cardinal Health
414
paid the Company approximately
$6.0
million and agreed to pay the Company an amount equal to the unused portion of the letter of credit (
not
to exceed approximately
$7.1
 million) promptly after the earlier of (i) the expiration of the letter of credit and (ii) the receipt by Cardinal Health
414
of evidence of the return and cancellation of the letter of credit. In exchange, the obligation of Cardinal Health
414
to make any further contingent payments has been eliminated. Cardinal Health
414
is still obligated to make the milestone payments in accordance with the terms of the earnout provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
 
We recorded a net gain on the sale of the Business of
$88.7
million for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2017,
including
$16.5
million in guaranteed consideration, which was discounted to the present value of future cash flows. The proceeds were offset by
$3.3
million in estimated fair value of warrants issued to Cardinal Health
414,
$2.0
million in legal and other fees related to the sale,
$800,000
in net balance sheet dispositions and write-offs, and
$4.6
million in estimated taxes.
 
As a result of the Asset Sale, we reclassified certain assets and liabilities as assets and liabilities associated with discontinued operations. The following liabilities have been segregated and included in liabilities associated with discontinued operations, as appropriate, in the consolidated balance sheets:
