01 Agosto 2024 - 3:10PM
Business Wire
Scott’s Liquid Gold-Inc. (“Scott’s” or the “Company”) (OTC:
SLGD) today announced that it intends to close its
previously-announced merger with Horizon Kinetics LLC (“Horizon
Kinetics”) after market-close on August 1, 2024. In addition, on
August 1, 2024, the Company intends to complete its 1-for-20
reverse stock split, reincorporation, and name change.
The Company expects that its shares of common stock will
commence trading under the temporary ticker symbol “SLGDD” on
August 2, 2024.
Following the reverse stock split, approximately 18 million of
the Company’s shares are expected to be issued to members of
Horizon Kinetics as merger consideration. On a pro forma basis, the
Company’s legacy shareholders would therefore own approximately
3.5% of the combined company immediately after the closing. The
Final Consideration was calculated based on Horizon Kinetics having
AUM of approximately $7.9 billion and Net Tangible Assets of
approximately $250 million, each as defined in the merger
agreement.
