Yesterday, TNFG Corp. and Lightspeed Financial, Inc. announced that they completed the transaction whereby Lightspeed has acquired 100 percent of the membership interest of Terra Nova Financial, LLC for a purchase price of approximately $27.6 million.
The purchase price consists of an initial cash payment of $22.6 million and a $5.0 million promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 8% and due within six months of closing or the earlier release of clearing deposits held Terra Nova’s clearing firm.
TNFG Corporation estimates that they will have approximately $24 million to $27 million in cash available for distribution to their shareholders (approximately $0.95 – $1.07 per share). This is based on TNFG Corporation’s current estimates of their post-closing expenses, assets and liabilities, and taking into account the expected timing of the payment of the Lightspeed promissory note.
TNFG Corporation expects to make an initial distribution of cash soon after the closing of the sale of Terra Nova Financial and the dissolution of TNFG. A further distribution will be made in connection with the expected liquidation of TNFG following receipt of cash payment on the Lightspeed promissory note.
