Following consummation of the secondary offering on July 26, 2017 (as described in Note 1), CD&R and Deere no longer have an ownership interest in the Company. Transactions with customers and entities that were under the common ownership of CD&R and Deere through July 26, 2017 are considered related-party transactions and are discussed below.
The Company offers a financing plan to its customers through John Deere Financial, f.s.b. (“John Deere Financial”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of Deere. The Company pays John Deere Financial a fee related to the financing offered, which was approximately $0.3 million for the period from January 2, 2017 through July 26, 2017.

TruGreen is a customer under common ownership of CD&R and therefore became a related party at the time of the CD&R Acquisition. As provided above, TruGreen is no longer a related party as a result of the consummation of the secondary offering on July 26, 2017. Net sales included in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations with TruGreen were $4.3 million for the period from January 2, 2017 through July 26, 2017.
