Those amounts were credited against the purchase price. Upon closing, Hasbro paid $131.23 million in cash (including a $1.48 million working capital purchase price adjustment) and $25 million was placed into an escrow account. An additional $75 million will be paid on January 3, 2019. These payments are being funded by cash on the Company’s balance sheet. In addition, the Company issued 3,074,190 shares of Hasbro common stock to Saban Properties, valued at $270 million. The transaction, including intangible amortization expense, is not expected to have a material impact on Hasbro’s 2018 results of operations.

Jupiter Jones stood still and listened. The afternoon was thick with fog. Fog muffled the noise of the traffic on the Pacific Coast Highway. It hung like a curtain between The Jones Salvage Yard and the houses across the street. It seemed to press in on Jupe. He felt cold and lonely, as if he were the only person in all the world. But someone had spoken, and now there were footsteps. Outside, just beyond the gates of the salvage yard, someone was walking. Then a man spoke, and two people appeared, moving like shadows in the grey light. The man was bent over, and as he walked his feet made slow, scuffling noises on the pavement. The woman was girlish and thin, with long, fair hair that hung straight about her face. “Here’s a bench,” she said, and she guided the man to a seat near the office. “You rest a minute. You should have let me drive. It was too much for you.” “Can I help?” Jupe moved closer to the pair. The man put a hand to his head and looked around in a dazed fashion. “We’re looking for . for . .” He caught at the young woman’s hand. “You do it,” he said. “Find out where we . where we . .” “Harbourview Lane,” said the young woman to Jupe. “We have to go to Harbour- view Lane.” “It’s down the highway and off Sunset,” said Jupe.
