Summary · why it matters

Simplify Asset Management has presented an alternative proposal to acquire The Marygold Companies, offering $2.25 per share in cash for 100% of the outstanding common stock. The firm said it shared the proposal with Marygold's Board of Directors on September 27th, and that it is the second offer Simplify has submitted for the full acquisition of Marygold in recent days. The $2.25 per-share price is more than 12% higher than the purchase price announced by Madison Dearborn and Marygold on September 25th. Simplify said its proposal is all-cash and not subject to any financing contingencies, which it said would provide immediate, certain value to Marygold stockholders upon completion. Paul Kim, co-founder and CEO of Simplify Asset Management, said Marygold's USCF ETF lineup is a natural complement to Simplify's alternatives- and income-focused ETF platform, and that the firm looks forward to continued engagement with the Marygold Board.
