, 1-800-Flowers.com, Inc. (the "Company") completed the previously announced sale (the "Disposition") of Fannie May Confections Brands, Inc., including its subsidiaries, Fannie May Confections, Inc. and Harry London Candies, Inc. ("Fannie May") to Ferrero International S.A., ("Ferrero")
,
pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") entered into on March 15, 2017. The aggregate consideration paid to the Company in exchange for all of the outstanding equity of Fannie May was $115.0 million in cash (subject to adjustment for seasonal working capital). The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and Ferrero.
In connection with the Disposition,
effective with the closing on May 30, 2017, the Company also entered into a transition services agreement, whereby the Company will provide certain post-closing services to Ferrero and Fannie May, related to the business of Fannie May, and a commercial agreement with respect to the distribution of certain Ferrero and Fannie May products.

on regarding certain terms, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by the full text, terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or Ferrero or to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about the Company in its public reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the"SEC").

Moreover, some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to the Company's SEC filings or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk among the Company and Ferrero rather than establishing matters as facts.
