Gander Group Acquisition

 

On August 23, 2024, Stran Loyalty Solutions entered into the Sale Agreement, between Stran Loyalty Solutions and the Secured Party, pursuant to which Stran Loyalty Solutions agreed to purchase, on an as-is basis, all of the rights and interests of the Gander Group Assets from Secured Party as the Gander Group Transaction. Gander Group provides promotional products and programs to its customers. The Company entered into the acquisition to expand its customer base to other industries.

 

Under the Sale Agreement, the aggregate consideration for the Gander Group Assets consisted of (a) cash payments by Stran Loyalty Solutions to Secured Party of approximately $1,099 (the “Cash Purchase Price”), and (b) cash payment of $370 per the Release Agreement (as defined below). The aggregate purchase price was $1,469.

 

As a result of the Gander Group Transaction Closing, the Company indirectly acquired substantially all of the assets of Gander Group, including all of the equity of Gander Group Louisiana, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stran Loyalty Solutions.

 

In addition, Stran Loyalty Solutions entered into a Release Agreement, dated as of August 23, 2024, between Gander Group and Stran Loyalty Solutions (the “Release Agreement”). Under the Release Agreement, Gander Group granted a full and complete waiver and release of Stran Loyalty Solutions and its affiliates of any non-competition, non-solicitation, or similar restrictive covenants of any parties owed to Gander Group or any of its affiliates and Stran was required to pay an additional $370 to Gander Group.

The Sale Agreement and the Release Agreement included provisions for indemnification, reimbursement for returned items, handling of assets and liabilities during Gander Group’s wind-down, and certain other matters.

The $1,717 balance of accounts receivable is the fair value of accounts receivable, net of amounts that are expected to be collected as of the acquisition date. The goodwill represents the excess fair value after the allocation of intangibles, of which approximately $2,542 is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
