What's in the acquisition offer?

Purple Innovation is a comfort solution firm specialising in designing and producing comfort products, including mattresses, pillows, cushions, and other related products. The company said on September 19 that it had received an "unsolicited, non-binding proposal" from Coliseum Capital Management, LLC on Saturday, September 17.

Under the proposed deal, Coliseum would purchase all the outstanding capital stock of Purple Innovation for US$ 4.35 apiece. However, the Lehi, Utah-based comfort solutions firm, said that it would "carefully" evaluate the acquisition deal before concluding any action that would be beneficial for both the company and its shareholders.

According to the SEC filing by Coliseum, the company expects that the proposed deal would value at about US$ 225.6 million for acquiring all the outstanding capital stocks of PRPL. Notably, Coliseum presently has a 45 per cent stake in the comfort solutions company.
