December 28 2021 - 8:30AM
Business Wire
Tredegar Corporation (NYSE:TG, also “Tredegar”) today reported
that it has completed the sale of its approximate 18% ownership
interest in kaleo, Inc (“kaléo”) pursuant to an agreement dated
November 28, 2021, whereby Marathon Asset Management provided kaléo
shareholders a full liquidity event opportunity (the
“Transaction”).
Tredegar received closing cash proceeds of $47.1 million.
Tredegar has the potential to receive additional cash consideration
within approximately six months of closing of up to $1.4 million in
certain post-closing adjustments. Tredegar also has the opportunity
to receive cash consideration of up to $5.6 million in 2023 and
$8.5 million in 2024 contingent upon kaléo achieving certain net
revenue targets in 2022 and 2023, respectively. There can be no
assurance as to how much Tredegar will actually receive, if any, in
post-closing payments, including with respect to the amounts based
on kaléo’s net revenue results in future years.
The estimated fair value of Tredegar’s investment in kaléo as of
September 30, 2021, as reported in its financial statements, was
$35.5 million ($10.49 per kaléo share). Tredegar made its
investments in kaléo in August 2007 and December 2008 with an
aggregate cost basis of $7.5 million. Tredegar received a cash
dividend of $17.6 million from kaléo on April 30, 2019. The tax
basis of Tredegar’s investment in kaléo is $15.4 million and
Tredegar expects for tax purposes to utilize capital loss
carryforwards of approximately $25 million to partially offset the
capital gains anticipated from the closing of the Transaction.
Tredegar Corporation is an industrial manufacturer with three
primary businesses: custom aluminum extrusions for the North
American building & construction, automotive and specialty
end-use markets; surface protection films for high-technology
applications in the global electronics industry; and specialized
polyester films primarily for the Latin American flexible packaging
market. Tredegar had 2020 sales from continuing operations of $755
million. With approximately 2,400 employees, the Company operates
manufacturing facilities in North America, South America, and
