On February 28, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Bixby Roasting Co. (“Bixby”), a specialty-grade roaster that is a leader in the emerging influencer-led brand space. Aggregate consideration included the issuance of 39,778 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Company Common Shares”), and approximately $2.2 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments. The issuance of the Company Common Shares to the seller was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Company Common Shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, pursuant to the seller’s status as an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
