Royalty Payment Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated April 13, 2018, and further amended on December 19, 2019, the Company was committed to a minimum royalty payment of $0.03 million per year. Royalties on CO2 pistols were to be paid for so long as patents remain effective. Royalties on the fintail projectiles (and any improved versions thereof) will be paid so long as patents remain effective at a rate of 4% of the agreed upon Stipulated Net Price for fintail projectile products. On January 7, 2022, the Company and its former CTO agreed to waive all future rights and entitlements under such agreement, including without limitation any right, title, or interest in the intellectual property or royalty fees except for those on the fintail projectiles. In exchange for the royalty termination, the Company agreed to grant 200,000 RSU's on August 3, 2022, which then vests in two years from January 7, 2022. In June 2023, the Company and the former CTO agreed to accelerate the vesting of the 200,000 RSUs, and the Company recognized stock compensation expense of $1.0 million associated with the RSUs during the year ended November 30, 2023.
