To the left, a blue icon of a contract represents “Asset Sale,” with text below reading: “Benefits buyer with amortization but may result in ordinary income for seller.” To the right, a green icon of people represents “Stock Sale,” with text below reading: “Offers capital gain treatment for seller but limits buyer’s amortization.” The design visually contrasts the two sale structures with brief pros and cons for each.</image:caption>
