NOTE 4 ACQUISITION OF ROYSTON GROUP

 

On February 20, 2026 the Company entered into an agreement and a plan of merger to acquire SRR Holdings, Inc. (Royston) which was completed on March 24, 2026.  Royston is a leading U.S.-based designer and manufacturer of cabinetry and store fixtures, refrigerated and heated cases, and signage for multiple end markets. Royston’s customer base spans across large, attractive end-markets of convenience, grocery and gas stations and other retail.  Royston was acquired for $325.0 million; $320.0 million in cash and $5.0 million in the Company’s common stock, subject to a working capital adjustment. The Company prefunded $13.2 million as an estimate of the cash and working capital acquired which brings the total purchase consideration to $338.2 million. The amount prefunded for cash and working capital will be adjusted in the first quarter of 2027 fiscal year to reflect the actual amounts acquired. The Company incurred acquisition-related costs totaling $9.9 million which are included in the selling and administrative expense line of the consolidated statements of operations. The Company funded the initial purchase consideration totaling $338.2 million with a combination of cash on hand, the $150.0 million revolving line of credit, the $200.0 million five-year term loan, and the $98.1 million of net proceeds from the Company’s February 26, 2026 public common stock offering.

 

The Company accounted for this transaction as a business combination. The Company has preliminarily allocated the purchase price of $338.2 million, which includes an estimate of customary post-closing purchase price adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at estimated fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair values is recorded as goodwill. This preliminary allocation is subject to the final determination of the purchase price which will be finalized in fiscal 2027, as well as potential revision resulting from the finalization of pre-acquisition tax filings and net working capital adjustments. The Company has finalized the third-party valuations of certain assets including fixed assets and intangible assets. The allocation of the purchase consideration to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 24, 2026, is as follows:
