Discontinued Operations

5. Discontinued Operations

On April 1, 2016, the Company entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Initial Purchase Agreement”) with Alstyle Operations, LLC (the “Initial Buyer”) and, for the limited purpose set forth in the Initial Purchase Agreement, Steve S. Hong. Under the Initial Purchase Agreement, the Initial Buyer agreed to acquire Alstyle Apparel, LLC and its subsidiaries (the “Apparel Segment”) from the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $88.0 million, consisting of $76.0 million in cash to be paid at closing, subject to a working capital adjustment, and an additional $12.0 million to be paid pursuant to a capital lease covering certain equipment utilized by the Apparel Segment that would have been retained by the Company. The Initial Purchase Agreement contemplated post-closing transition services for up to 18 months.

Under the Initial Purchase Agreement, the Company retained the right to terminate the agreement in the event that the Company received an unsolicited purchase offer for the Apparel Segment that was not matched by the Initial Buyer, which, in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) in the exercise of its fiduciary duties on behalf of the Company’s shareholders, deemed such offer to be a superior offer to the transactions contemplated by the Initial Purchase Agreement.

On May 4, 2016, the Company received what the Board determined to be a superior offer from Gildan Activewear Inc. (“Gildan”). In connection therewith, the Company terminated the Initial Purchase Agreement and paid the required $3.0 million termination fee to the Initial Buyer. In connection with the superior offer, the Company and Gildan entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement, dated May 4, 2016 (the “Gildan Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which on May 25, 2016 Gildan acquired the Apparel Segment from the Company for an all-cash purchase price of $110.0 million, subject to a working capital adjustment, customary indemnification arrangements, and the other terms of the Gildan Purchase Agreement. Since the consummation of the sale, the Company has been providing transition assistance to Gildan for administrative, financial, human resource, and information technology matters which the Company expects to cease during the fourth quarter of this fiscal year, and has been subleasing from Gildan a portion of real property located in Anaheim, California. As part of the $110.0 million purchase price, Gildan funded the Company’s payment of the $3.0 million termination fee payable to the Initial Buyer as result of the termination of the Initial Purchase Agreement.
