On November 4, 2019, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions (the “Agreement”) for the sale of our Corporate headquarters in Acton, Massachusetts for $0.6 million. The sale is expected to close in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2020, and the Agreement contains a seller license provision to allow us to remain in our current facility for up to six months from the closing date as we relocate our headquarters. We expect to recognize a loss of approximately $5.3 million upon consummation of the sale. The building’s net cost basis of approximately $5.9 million is classified in Property and equipment, net on our balance sheet at October 31, 2019.
