Mattress Firm to Acquire Mattress King and BedMart Stores Enters Into Agreement to Strengthen Its Presence in Key Markets of Colorado and Arizona HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mattress Firm Holding Corp. (the "Company") (NASDAQ:MFRM), a leading specialty retailer of mattresses and accessories in the United States, announced that the Company has entered into an agreement to acquire substantially all of the mattress specialty retail assets and operations of Mattress Liquidators, Inc., which operates Mattress King retail stores in Colorado and BedMart retail stores in Arizona. This acquisition will add approximately 75 specialty retail stores to the Mattress Firm company-operated store base in markets where the Company currently operates, primarily Denver, Colorado, Phoenix, Arizona and Tucson, Arizona, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $35 million, subject to customary adjustments. The closing of the acquisition, which is conditioned on the prior satisfaction of customary closing conditions, is expected to occur by the end of the second fiscal
quarter of 2014 and will be funded by cash reserves and revolver borrowings, as well as a $3.5 million seller note that is payable in quarterly installments over two years. "We are excited to further expand our position in the Denver, Phoenix and Tucson markets," stated Steve Stagner, Mattress Firm president & chief executive officer. "We believe that the acquisition of the Denver stores will allow us to leap into a strong position in that market, building on the foothold established by the acquisition last month of the formerly franchised Mattress Firm stores in Denver. The additional stores in Phoenix and Tucson will supplement the existing base of quality stores that we currently operate in those markets. This acquisition is aligned with our relative market share strategy, which continues to build long-term value creation for our shareholders."
