 Lazard also discussed the timing of the potential sales process and next steps.

During the last week of February through early March, at the direction of the Company’s management, Lazard, in coordination with the Company, prepared a virtual data room on behalf of the Company in anticipation of diligence questions from prospective buyers. All four (4) parties who submitted the February Proposals were provided access to the virtual data room on March 1, 2025, and they subsequently submitted diligence questions and received responses.

On March 7, 2025, the Company received a non-binding indication of interest from an additional financial sponsor to acquire the Company for a purchase price reflecting an enterprise value of $725 million (the “March Proposal” and, together with the February Proposals, the “Proposals”). The financial sponsor who submitted the March Proposal was granted access to the virtual data room on March 10, 2025, and subsequently submitted diligence questions and received responses. In March 2025, the Company’s management met with and provided a management presentation to three (3) of the financial sponsors who submitted February Proposals and the financial sponsor who submitted the March Proposal. The fourth financial sponsor who submitted a February Proposal withdrew from the process prior to any management presentation.

In early April 2025, the Company was notified by certain customers in North America, without any prior notice and within days of each other, of their intent to re-source all outstanding purchase orders to other suppliers with a minimal wind down period and to not issue any additional purchase orders to the Company thereafter (the “Customer Losses”). These customers represented approximately 40% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2024, and approximately 36% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2023.

On April 3, 2025, the Board held a meeting attended by the Company’s management and representatives of Lazard, at which, among other things, the Board was provided with an update regarding the Customer Losses that had occurred at that point, and discussed with management of the Company the impact of the Customer Losses on the Company’s liquidity. In addition, the representatives of Lazard discussed with the Board the interest in acquiring the Company that was previously communicated by several of the potential buyers who
