The Settlement Agreement was approved by an order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, and, on April 22, 2015, the Company received an interim distribution from the Marketing Estate of $6.8 million on account of the Company’s general unsecured claims. The Company expects to receive additional distributions from the Marketing Estate during 2015 on account of its general unsecured claims, however, the Company cannot provide any assurance as to the timing or the total amount of such future distributions.

As a result, on April 22, 2015, the Company also received an additional distribution of approximately $0.6 million from the Marketing Estate in full resolution of the funding agreement dispute.
