SMI received an additional $3 million placed in an escrow account for later settlement of closing valuation in relation to the agreement to sell SMI's Florida foodservice distribution and cash-and-carry stores to GFS, as announced on August 6. Thus, SMI has reduced the balance outstanding under its revolving credit facility and the corresponding commitment by $15 million, according to the filing.
In a related transaction, GFS has acquired from the trust of SMI's synthetic lease facility two Florida real properties for $14.3 million.
Both parties continue to finalize certain ancillary agreements related to these transactions.
