Discontinued Operations NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On March 11, 2020, the Company sold the remainder of its Suttle business lines, including the SoHo, MediaMAX, and SpeedStar brands and inventory as well as working capital, certain capital equipment, intellectual property, and customer relationships to Oldcastle Infrastructure, Inc. (“Oldcastle”) for $8,000,000, with a working capital adjustment 90 days after close. Oldcastle will operate the majority of the acquired Suttle business through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Primex Technologies, Inc. The Company received proceeds of $8,900,000 and recorded a gain on the sale of $2,247,000 during 2020.

Concurrent with the closing of the transaction, the Company and Oldcastle entered into a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) under which Suttle continued to manufacture products for Oldcastle for six months, to ensure seamless supply and quality assurance to the existing customer base. Concurrently with the closing of the transaction and the TSA, the Company and Oldcastle also entered into a lease agreement under which Oldcastle agreed to lease two buildings in Hector, Minnesota, where Suttle had conducted operations. Base rents under the lease agreement range from $6,970 to $7,180 per month. The presentation of discontinued operations has been retrospectively applied to all prior periods presented.
