In December 2015, Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. ("Odyssey") sold substantially all the assets related to its shipwreck business to a third-party purchaser. The assets sold included Odyssey's proprietary shipwreck database and research library, and Odyssey retained a residual economic interest in certain of the shipwrecks. Odyssey, the purchaser, and an entity controlled by Mark B. Justh, Odyssey's lead outside director, entered into a separate arrangement related to one of the shipwrecks.

On May 3, 2024, Odyssey received a payment of approximately $9.4 million arising from its residual economic interest in one of the shipwrecks. The entity controlled by Mr. Justh also received a payment arising from the shipwreck.
