Explanatory Note:

 

On June 1, 2023, Stran & Company, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”) reporting the completion of the previously announced purchase of substantially all the assets of T R Miller Co., Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“T R Miller”). In that filing, the Company indicated that it would amend the Original 8-K at a later date to include any financial statements and any pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K. This amendment to the Original 8-K is being filed to provide such financial statements and financial information, which are attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1, Exhibit 99.2, Exhibit 99.3, and Exhibit 99.4. The disclosure contained in Item 2.01 of the Original 8-K is repeated below for convenience. No other changes have been made to the Original 8-K except to remove Item 7.01 and related disclosure regarding a press release that was issued in connection with the completion of the acquisition of substantially all the assets of T R Miller.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 31, 2023 (the “Prior Form 8-K”), on January 25, 2023, Stran & Company, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with T R Miller Co., Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“T R Miller”), and Thomas R. Miller (the “Miller Stockholder”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire substantially all of the assets of T R Miller used in T R Miller’s branding, marketing and promotional products and services business (the “T R Miller Business”). The T R Miller Business has existing operations and has generated revenues. As previously reported, the Purchase Agreement provided that the aggregate purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the T R Miller Business would consist of cash payments by the Company to T R Miller at and following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”), subject to certain adjustments, as described in the Prior Form 8-K.

 

On June 1, 2023, the Closing was completed. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid T R Miller $2,154,230.21 in cash, reflecting the purchase price of $1,000,000 as adjusted by a $1,123,071.82 working capital adjustment; no adjustment for indebtedness as of the date and time of the Closing (the “Closing Date”) that was not part of the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); no separate amount for any Inventory (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) that was on hand and owned by Seller as of the Closing Date, as such amount was included in the working capital adjustment; and first and last month’s rent under the Lease Agreement (as defined below) of $14,962.50 and $16,195.89, respectively.

 

Following the Closing, the Company will make (a) installment payments equal to (i) $400,000 on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) $300,000 on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (iii) $200,000 on the third anniversary of the Closing Date, and (iv) $200,000 on the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, each such installment payment subject to adjustment for certain uncollected accounts receivable amounts outstanding after the first 12 months following the Closing; and (b) four annual payments (the “Earn Out Payments”), each equal to (i) 45% of the annual Gross Profit (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of T R Miller above $4,000,000 with respect to certain customers of T R Miller or primarily resulting from the efforts of the Stockholder or certain employees or independent contractors of T R Miller, plus (ii) 25% of the annual Gross Profit above $4,000,000 with respect to customers primarily resulting from the past or future efforts of the Buyer that are assigned to and primary responsibility of any employee or independent contractor of T R Miller as designated by the Purchase Agreement, for the trailing 12-month period, as of the first, second, third, and fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, each such Earn Out Payment subject to adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

The timing and manner of the remaining working capital adjustments or payments and the Earn Out Payments, and the resolution of any disagreements as to such adjustments or payments, will follow the procedures provided by the Purchase Agreement.

 

In addition, as of the Closing Date, the Company undertook to perform or otherwise pay, satisfy and discharge as of the Closing the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

 

The Purchase Agreement also contained additional representations, warrants, covenants, indemnification provisions and other terms which are described in the Prior Form 8-K.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, in connection with the Closing, the Company, as tenant, and Miller Family Walpole LLC, as landlord (the “Landlord”), entered into a lease agreement for a warehouse facility used by the T R Miller Business, dated May 31, 2023 (the “Lease Agreement”). The Lease Agreement provides for base rent of $179,550.00 in the first year of the lease and an increase of 2% per annum in each subsequent year. We may extend the term for an additional five years upon the same base rent terms upon 12 months’ notice. We will be responsible for all property and other taxes and expenses related to the facility except for maintenance of certain structural elements. The initial lease term commenced on June 1, 2023 and terminates on May 31, 2028. We may assign our rights to the lease and property at the facility as collateral to a lender. The Landlord is also required to execute a landlord lien waiver and collateral access agreement upon request. The Lease Agreement contains provisions for minimum insurance, mutual indemnification from certain claims relating to the Lease Agreement, and customary default and related termination and remedy provisions. The foregoing description of the lease agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report.

 

In addition, the Company entered into (i) a consulting agreement with the Miller Stockholder providing for certain consulting services to the Company for a period of three years following the Closing Date and (ii) an employment agreement with Stacy Miller.

 

The foregoing references to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Prior Form 8-K, and to the full text of the agreement attached to the Prior Form 8-K and to this report as Exhibit 2.1, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

There were no material relationships, other than in respect of the transaction, between T R Miller, the Miller Stockholder, and the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates, including any director or officer of the Company, or any associate of any director or officer of the Company.
