Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation Description of Business
The Simply Good Foods Company (“Simply Good Foods” or the “Company”) was formed by Conyers Park Acquisition Corp. (“Conyers Park”) on March 30, 2017. On April 10, 2017, Conyers Park and NCP-ATK Holdings, Inc., among others, entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which on July 7, 2017, Conyers Park merged into Simply Good Foods and as a result acquired the companies which conducted the Atkins® brand business (the “Business Combination”). The common stock of Simply Good Foods is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SMPL.”
On August 21, 2019, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Simply Good Foods USA, Inc., formerly known as Atkins Nutritionals, Inc., (“Simply Good USA”) entered into a Stock and Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire Quest Nutrition, LLC (“Quest”), a healthy lifestyle food company (the “Quest Acquisition”). On November 7, 2019, Simply Good USA completed the Quest Acquisition via Simply Good USA’s acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Voyage Holdings, LLC, and VMG Quest Blocker, Inc. (the “Target Companies”) for a cash purchase price of approximately $1.0 billion subject to customary post-closing adjustments for the Target Companies’ levels of cash, indebtedness, net working capital and transaction expenses as of the closing date.
The Simply Good Foods Company is a consumer packaged food and beverage company that aims to lead the nutritious snacking movement with trusted brands that offer a variety of convenient, innovative, great-tasting, better-for-you snacks and meal replacements. The product portfolio the Company develops, markets and sells consists primarily of protein bars, ready-to-drink (“RTD”) shakes, sweet and salty snacks and confectionery products marketed under the Atkins®, Atkins Endulge®, and Quest® brand names. Simply Good Foods is poised to expand its wellness platform through innovation and organic growth along with acquisition opportunities in the nutritional snacking space.
The Company’s nutritious snacking platform consists of brands that specialize in providing products for consumers that follow certain nutritional philosophies and health-and-wellness trends: Atkins® for those following a low-carb lifestyle and Quest® for consumers seeking a variety of protein-rich foods and beverages that also limit sugars and simple carbs. The Company distributes its products in major retail channels, primarily in North America, including grocery, club, and mass merchandise, as well as through e-commerce, convenience, specialty, and other channels. The Company’s portfolio of nutritious snacking brands gives it a strong platform with which to introduce new products, expand distribution, and attract new consumers to its products.
The Company remains uncertain of the ultimate effect COVID-19 could have on its business notwithstanding the distribution of several U.S. government approved vaccines and the easing of movement restrictions. This uncertainty stems from the potential for, among other things, (i) the presence of current mutations of COVID-19 which have resulted in increased rates of reported cases for which currently approved vaccines are not as effective along with the possibility of future mutations occurring for which current approved vaccines are less effective, (ii) unexpected supply chain disruptions, including disruptions resulting from labor shortages or other human capital challenges, (iii) changes to customer operations, (iv) a reversal in recently improving consumer purchasing and consumption behavior, and (v) the closure of customer establishments.
