Mozer and Benjamin Mozer (each an “Owner,” collectively, the “Owners” and together with Seller, collectively, the “Seller Parties”).
Pursuant to the APA, Golden has agreed to (i) purchase substantially all of the properties, business, and assets of the Seller used and/or useful in the operation of the Seller’s business of sourcing and wholesaling food products (the “Business”) and (ii) assume certain liabilities and obligations of the Seller (such transaction, the “Transaction”) for an aggregate purchase price of $304,268.85 (the “Purchase Price”), which price is payable to the Seller’s lenders for all outstanding and unpaid indebtedness of the Seller as of the closing of the Transaction. In addition, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, if earned, Golden will pay the Seller $53,430 (the “Earnout Amount”) if, in the twelve-month period, the Business achieves certain revenue and adjusted EBITDA targets.
The APA contains customary representations and warranties, as well as five-year non-competition and non-solicitation covenants of the Seller Parties and indemnification of Golden by the Seller Parties. In connection with the APA, Ms. Mozer entered into a consulting services agreement with Golden to provide consulting services for a period of twelve (12) months with the option to extend on a month-to-month basis with respect to the transitioning of the relationships and knowledge concerning the Business, which agreement also contains a two-year non-solicitation provision.
The Transaction was closed the same day on December 20, 2024.
