W. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

 

Completion of Bangarang Acquisition:

 

On August 23, 2024, Stran Loyalty Solutions, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the “Purchaser” or “Stran Loyalty Solutions”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Secured Party Sale Agreement, dated as of August 23, 2024 (the “Sale Agreement”), with Sallyport Commercial Finance, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Secured Party”), pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to purchase, on an as-is basis, all of the rights and interests of Bangarang Enterprises, LLC, a California limited liability company (d/b/a Gander Group) (“Bangarang”), in and to substantially all of the assets of Bangarang (the “Bangarang Assets”) from Secured Party as a private sale pursuant to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Bangarang Transaction”).

 

Under the Sale Agreement, the aggregate consideration for the Bangarang Assets consisted of (a) cash payments by the Purchaser to Secured Party of $1,099 (the “Cash Purchase Price”), and (b) the assumption by the Purchaser of certain liabilities totaling approximately $5.5 million (the “Assumed Liabilities”), subject to adjustments, as described below, at and following the Closing (as defined below), including the payment at the Closing of $150 to Warson Capital Partners, LLC, an investment banking firm retained by Bangarang, for its fees and expenses with respect to the Bangarang Transaction, including the marketing for sale of the Bangarang Assets (the “Transaction Expense Payment”).  

 

As a result of the Closing, the Company indirectly acquired substantially all of the assets of Bangarang, including all of the equity of Gander Group Louisiana, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company (“GGLA”), which will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser.

 

The Company has not completed the purchase price allocation of this acquisition prior to the issuance of these financial statements, and an estimate of the financial effect of the transaction cannot be made. All other business combination disclosures are not available due to the proximity of the acquisition to the issuance of these financial statements.

 

Factoring Arrangement and Termination of Revolving Line of Credit

 

On August 23, 2024, Stran Loyalty Solutions entered into a factoring arrangement with a third party to provide accounts receivable financing to Stran Loyalty Solutions. In connection with the factoring arrangement, the Company provided a secured guarantee of Stran Loyalty Solutions’ obligations under the factoring arrangement. Prior to this arrangement, the Company had been a party to the Revolving Demand Line of Credit Loan Agreement, dated as of November 22, 2021, between the Company and Salem Five Cents Savings Bank, a Massachusetts savings bank (“Salem Five Cents”), as amended by the Commercial Loan Modification Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2024, between the Company and Salem Five Cents (the “Loan Agreement”), and the Revolving Demand Line of Credit Note, dated November 22, 2021, by the Company in favor of Salem Five Cents (the “Demand Note”). The Loan Agreement and the Demand Note provided for a secured revolving loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $7,000 (the “Revolving Line of Credit”). In discussions with Salem Five Cents prior to the establishment of the factoring arrangement, Salem Five Cents indicated that it would terminate the Revolving Line of Credit because of a policy which prohibited it from agreeing to subordination of its security interest in the Company’s assets.

 

Accordingly, on September 9, 2024, Salem Five Cents delivered a letter (the “Termination Letter”) to the Company that stated that, effective August 26, 2024 (the “Termination Date”), Salem Five Cents terminated all obligations under the Loan Agreement and the Demand Note. The Termination Letter further stated that the Loan Agreement and the Demand Note and any related loan documents shall be considered no longer in force or effect. The Company had no funds drawn on the Revolving Line of Credit on the Termination Date.
