Positive Impact 5 of 5 m&a Written later

The Marygold Companies agreed on September 25, 2026 to be acquired by funds managed by Madison Dearborn Partners, with stockholders to receive $2.00 per share in cash, a premium of approximately 100% over the September 24, 2026 closing price. Stockholders holding about 75% of the voting power have already approved the merger by written consent, and the company's common stock will be delisted from NYSE American once the deal closes, which is expected in the first half of 2027 or earlier.

  • Written stockholder consent from holders of about 75% of voting power was delivered on September 25, 2026, satisfying the stockholder approval condition.
  • Common stock will stop trading on NYSE American after closing; the company will become privately held.
  • A termination fee of approximately $2.6 million may be payable by the company in certain circumstances; the Termination Date is June 7, 2027.
