What is recently happening in the company?

On 26th April 2021, the Sequential Brands Group Inc. (SQBG) announced that it has sold and closed the deal for the Heelys brand to BBC International. The deal valued Heelys at $11 million and the transaction took place in cash proceeds. Sequential Brands Group Inc. plans to use the cash proceeds to pay its current debts.

Sequential Brands Group Inc.’s Board of Directors is looking for alternative strategies and business opportunities to invest in, which is why it is divesting some of its current portfolios which resulted in the selling of the Heelys brand. The company had previously acquired Heelys back in 2013 when it was valued and purchased at a net price of $5.5 million. This net purchase value consists of the cash balance that was contained in the balance sheet of Heelys at the time of acquisition by SQBG stock. BBC international has purchased the license of Heelys since 2013 and has thus established a business connection with the brand.
