Item 2. |
Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated May 7, 2003 by and among The H.T. Hackney Co. ("Buyer"), Spartan Stores, Inc. ("Spartan Stores"), and Spartan Stores' wholly owned subsidiaries L&L/Jiroch Distributing Company ("L&L/Jiroch"), and J.F. Walker Company, Inc. ("J.F. Walker"), Spartan Stores, L&L/Jiroch and J.F. Walker agreed to sell to Buyer and an affiliate of Buyer substantially all of their assets used in the wholesale distribution of cigarettes, cigars, tobacco, tobacco products, candy, food, health and beauty care products and other products to convenience stores (the "Business"). The sold assets included real property, tangible personal property, inventory, accounts receivable, cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, software, business contracts, governmental authorizations, data and records, intangible rights and property, insurance benefits, claims, deposits, prepaid expenses, and leases described in the Asset Purchase Agreement, which is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1. The transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement were completed on June 9, 2003.
After applying the adjustments specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement at the closing, the aggregate purchase price for the Business assets was $40.8 million, of which $39.5 million was paid in cash at the closing. The remaining $1.3 million, subject to further adjustment, is payable in cash on July 15, 2003. In addition, the Buyer assumed liabilities of approximately $2.7 million. The terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement were arrived at through arms-length negotiations between the parties.
The net proceeds of the sale were used to reduce bank debt.
To Spartan Stores' knowledge, before this transaction, there were no material relationships between Spartan Stores, any of its affiliates (including L&L/Jiroch and J.F. Walker) or any of Spartan Stores' directors or officers, or associates of such directors and officers, on one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand.
This transaction did not include any of the assets associated with Spartan Stores' 12 cash and carry convenience store distribution outlets in Michigan and Ohio, which are operated by Spartan Stores' subsidiary United Wholesale Grocery Company.
