B. Riley Financial proposes to acquire the retailer for $25.00 per share cash
In a letter to Lazydays CEO Robert DeVincenzi , Bryant Riley (RILY), Chairman, Co-CEO of B. Riley Financial stated, in part,
“This non-binding letter is intended to summarize the principal terms of a proposal by B. Riley Financial or a subsidiary thereof regarding its possible acquisition of Lazydays Holdings.
The possible acquisition of the outstanding capital stock of the company is referred to as the ‘Transaction’ and Buyer and the company are referred to collectively as the ‘Parties.’
As you know, we are one of the company’s largest investors holding over one million shares of common stock. First, we want to thank you for initially meeting with us in January and for taking the time to hear our thoughts on the company’s direction soon after the resignation of the company’s longtime CEO and Chairman.
We have also had constructive conversations with other board members. We acknowledge and support recent increases to the share buyback program, but note that the market continues to discount company’s ability to grow.
After significant analysis and diligence based on publicly available information, we have concluded that the company would be better served away from the glare of the public markets in an environment where the necessary investments in growth can be made without market fixation on short-term results.
We are proposing a take-private transaction at a healthy premium to the current share price. The purchase price would be $25.00 per share payable in cash.”
