The approximately US$189 million figure represents management's current estimate of the infrastructure and procurement value associated with the transaction and should not be construed as recognized or guaranteed revenue of Vertical Data. The timing and amount of any revenue recognized by the Company will depend on its contractual entitlements, delivery schedules and the timing of deployment.
