On September 15, 2015, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of April 10, 2015, as amended (the “Rio Agreement”), Hampshire Group, Limited (the “Company”) and Hampshire International, LLC (“International” and collectively with the Company, the “Sellers”) completed the previously-announced sale of the stock of Rio Garment, S.A. (“Rio”) to Rio Asset Holdco, LLC and Rio Asset Holdings, LLC (collectively, the “Rio Buyers”), a group headed by David Gren. Mr. Gren was an executive officer of the Company until his resignation in May 2015 in connection with the sale and remains as president of Rio. Mr. Gren is the holder of approximately 11.5% of the Company’s common stock.

 

Under the terms of the Rio Agreement, the Rio Buyers purchased all of the stock of Rio for $6.0 million (of which $1.0 million is payable on the first anniversary of closing), caused Rio to transfer accounts receivable in existence as of April 10, 2015 and certain other assets of Rio to the Company totaling approximately $5.1 million and caused Rio to assume approximately $3.2 million in certain liabilities, subject to final adjustments.

 

Prior to closing, the Company, the Sellers, Mr. Gren, Minor Valle, the Rio Buyers and Rio entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Rights Under and Joinder to Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of September 15, 2015 pursuant to which Messrs. Gren and Valle assigned their rights as “buyers” under the Rio Agreement to the Rio Buyers, who assumed such obligations. The Company released Mr. Valle from his obligations under the Rio Agreement.

 

Additionally, prior to closing, the Sellers, Mr. Gren, the Rio Buyers and Rio entered into Amendment No. 2 to Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of September 15, 2015, pursuant to which, among other things:

 

 

Rio agreed to repay certain Rio expenses paid by the Company totaling $381,587, of which $273,887 is payable pursuant to a Promissory Note of Rio, dated as of September 15, 2015, and the balance of $107,000 is payable from the proceeds of certain receivables of Rio. The Promissory Note bears interest at a rate equal to the Company’s cost of capital from its senior lender and is payable in 12 equal monthly installments of principal, with interest, beginning on October 1, 2015.

 

 

Mr. Gren and his wife entered into a Guaranty Agreement dated as of September 15, 2015 pursuant to which they guaranteed all of the obligations of Rio and the Rio Buyers under the Rio Agreement.

 

 

Mr. Gren entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of September 15, 2015 pursuant to which Mr. Gren pledged all of his 1,004,973 shares of stock of the Company to secure his obligations under the Guaranty Agreement.
