# Marygold holders with ~75% voting power approve $2.00/share Madison Dearborn take-private

## Summary
- Funds managed by Madison Dearborn Partners will acquire all outstanding Marygold shares for $2.00 per share under a merger agreement signed September 25, 2026.
- Holders of approximately 75% of the Company's voting power delivered written consent approving the Merger Agreement; the independent Special Committee and full Board unanimously approved it.
- Because stockholder approval is secured, the Merger Agreement bars Marygold from responding to or accepting alternative acquisition proposals or terminating to pursue one.
- Before signing, Marygold ran an extensive process soliciting third-party interest in all or part of the Company and received several proposals; details go in the pending information statement.
