In December 2013, we completed the sale of certain assets, subsidiaries and intellectual property, or IP, relating to its Smart ID division, for a total purchase price of $10,000,000 in cash and an additional $12,500,000 subject to performance-based milestones, or the SmartID Division Divesture. On April 20, 2016, the purchaser of the Smart ID division, SuperCom, and we entered into a settlement agreement resolving certain litigation between SuperCom and us pursuant to which SuperCom paid us $2,050,000 and will agree to pay us up to $1,500,000 in accordance with and subject to a certain earn-out mechanism. In November 2017, we commenced an arbitration procedure with SuperCom, in which we claim that additional earn-out payments have not been paid to us. SuperCom has also raised claims against us during the arbitration procedure. An arbitration decision was issued on December 24, 2018 in our favor and denied SuperCom's claims. The Arbitrator ordered SuperCom to disclose the financial information regarding the earn-out payments that we are entitled to receive, and to pay us accordingly, or otherwise pay us the maximum earn-out amount, which equals to $1,500,000, minus the earn-out amounts that were already paid by SuperCom to us. On February 7, 2019, SuperCom filed an application to the District Court in Tel Aviv to cancel the said arbitration decision and we submitted a response to the application on March 20, 2019.
