LL Flooring provides update on strategic alternatives review

LL Flooring (LL) “provided an update on its previously announced strategic alternatives review process and separately announced a cooperation agreement signed with Live Ventures Incorporated (LIVE) a diversified publicly traded holding company, and Isaac Capital Group regarding director nominations to the Company’s Board of Directors. As part of the Company’s previously announced strategic alternatives review process, the Company’s Board has received a non-binding proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company for $2.50 per share in cash, which remains subject to completion of certain financing. Consistent with its fiduciary duties and in consultation with its financial and legal advisors, the LL Flooring Board remains in constructive discussions and is currently negotiating this latest proposal, which has not yet been accepted by the Board. The LL Flooring Board is committed to a fair process for all interested parties and will continue to thoroughly review any credible proposal received to determine the course of action that it believes is in the best interests of the Company and all of its shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Company’s strategic alternatives process will result in LL Flooring pursuing any particular transaction or other strategic outcome. The Company has not set a timetable for completion of this process, and it does not intend to disclose further developments unless and until it determines that further disclosure is appropriate or necessary. The Company has separately entered into a cooperation agreement with Live Ventures and Isaac Capital Group with regard to director nominations and the voting of their aggregate 3.8% ownership of LL Flooring common stock at the Company’s upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders set for July 10, 2024. Isaac Capital Group had previously nominated three individuals to stand for election to the LL Flooring Board at the Annual Meeting and, in connection with the cooperation agreement, has now withdrawn these nominations and will vote its shares in support of the Company’s directors. The full cooperation agreement, which includes customary standstill, voting and confidentiality commitments, among other provisions, will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.”
