Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On July 9, 1996, Maxco completed an agreement to sell its 67 percent interest
in FinishMaster, Inc. Maxco sold its 4,045,000 shares of FinishMaster to Lacy
Distribution, Inc., an affiliate of LDI, Ltd. of Indianapolis, IN and entered
into an agreement not to compete for a total consideration of $62.6 million.
More than 90 percent of the total consideration is in cash, including an
initial payment on the non-compete agreement, with the balance payable over the
five year term of the non-compete agreement. The price was negotiated by the
parties based on their evaluation of the intrinsic value of the operation. W.
Y. Campbell & Company, a Detroit based investment banking firm, acted as
financial advisor to Maxco in this transaction.
As a result of this transaction, Maxco will report a gain in its second quarter
ending September 30, 1996, of approximately $23 million net of tax or $5.00 per
share. Maxco has not formulated plans for the use of the net proceeds from
this transaction.
The disposition was reflected in Maxco's financial statements filed with Form
