Item 5. Other Events.
Acquisition of Retail Music Stores:
On November 29, 1993, Wherehouse Entertainment, Inc.
(the "Company") and Pegasus Music and Video, Inc. , a Utah
corporation ("Pegasus"), entered into an Agreement of Purchase
and Sale (the "Agreement") pursuant to which the Company would
acquire from Pegasus (i) leasehold interests for up to 15 retail
stores (collectively, the "Stores"), fourteen of which are
located in Utah and one of which is located in Montana, (ii)
substantially all of the furniture, fixtures, equipment and
supplies located in the Stores, (iii) inventory in the Stores,
(iv) trade names and trademarks, and (v) certain other assets.
The purchase price would consist principally of (i) up to
$5,450,000 in cash (subject to downward adjustment for those
leases not transferred or those leases expiring on or before
December 31, 1995 which were not extended) and (ii) an amount of
cash equal to the value of the inventory transferred (as
determined by audits conducted immediately prior to the closing).
The closing was held on January 14, 1994. At the
Closing, the Company acquired Store leaseholds for fifteen
Stores, related assets and most of Pegasus' inventory.
The total purchase price paid at the closing was
approximately $8,100,000 of which $3,063,000 represented 75% of
the purchase price of the estimated amount of inventory
purchased. The balance of the purchase price for the inventory
is subject to adjustment and will be disbursed after the actual
amount of purchased inventory is determined. Pursuant to the
Agreement, an additional $247,275 will be paid to Pegasus upon
the Company's obtaining an extension of the lease for one of the
Stores. Additionally, the Company has spent and will spend
other monies to equip the Pegasus stores with information
systems, security equipment and signage comparable to that of the
Company's other stores.
