Transportation and Warehousing Services
In October 2019, Envigo RMS, LLC (“Envigo U.S.”) entered into a master services agreement with Vanguard Supply Chain Solutions LLC (“Vanguard”) to provide transportation and warehousing services for the Company’s operations in the U.S. and Canada for animal models and Teklad products. Prior to this agreement, the Company had utilized internal resources to transport its animal models and transport and warehouse its Teklad products. The master services agreement transitions these services from internal to Vanguard over 9 phases beginning in December 2019 and which was completed in June 2021. Each transition phase includes the:
| ● | sale of certain assets to Vanguard; and |
| ● | execution of sublease agreements related to warehouse facilities and vehicle leases required for providing of services. |
In conjunction with the transition, notes related to the sale of equipment were executed in the amount of $286 for assets sold to Vanguard. The notes are due November 2024 with schedule monthly payments of $2 commencing in January 2022. Interest is only payable on past due installment payments.
In addition, Envigo and Vanguard entered in a prepayment agreement that required Envigo to make prepayments to Vanguard to secure supply as its exclusive transportation and warehousing services provider. As of December 31, 2019, prepayments of $420 had been made, of which $258 and $346 remained prepaid at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Due to the consolidation of Vanguard as a Variable Interest Entity, the prepaid balances and notes related to sale of equipment are eliminated for consolidation.
