Zone Frontier sells legacy cleaning unit to director-controlled buyer for $3.35 million
Zone Frontier sold its legacy CleanCore cleaning products business, including its Irish subsidiary, to Sanzonate Holdings LLC under an agreement signed and closed on October 7, 2026. Director Clayton Adams controls the buyer, and the transaction was approved by disinterested directors after a fairness opinion from Newbridge Securities Corporation. The company says the sale ends about $3 million in annual cash burn, but it also takes on credit risk from a buyer that is paying mostly through a secured note.
Key points
- Buyer Sanzonate Holdings LLC is controlled by Clayton Adams, a Zone Frontier director and the buyer's CEO.
- Purchase price is $3,350,000, paid by a secured, non-convertible 6% promissory note due in installments at six, 12 and 18 months after closing.
- Up to $2,250,000 in earnout payments depends on buyer equity financings at $10 million, $17.5 million and $25 million pre-money valuations, and the company receives a 5% membership interest in the buyer.
- The pro forma statements show an estimated gain on sale of $885,579 as of June 30, 2026; the company's 10-K auditor flagged substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
