On Tuesday, Voxx International Corporation (Nasdaq: VOXX) held its annual shareholders meeting, closing out a tough Fiscal 2024 with declining sales (down 12.2%) and deepening net losses (up over 53%). Sounding a little defensive, Ari M. Shalam, the company’s Co-Vice Chairman of the Board and son of company founder John J. Shalam, promised investors more restructuring and said the company will shed assets, including some of its previous brand acquisitions, to generate cash to lower debt and prepare the company for healthier growth ahead.

BREAKING NEWS
Oh-oh! I thought today I would be confirming that the VOXX/Sharp/Onkyo definitive agreement – which was supposed to be concluded today, May 20, 2021 – was in fact fully executed as directed in the original tentative agreement. But instead, I have learned that the definitive agreement for this sale was NOT in fact signed today, as dictated in the preliminary agreement. Now what?

I can’t say this news from Onkyo Home Entertainment comes as much of a surprise. And based on conversations I’ve had with many of you over the last week or so, my reference a couple of weeks back to the growing romance between Onkyo and Voxx was clearly a wink-nod signal that I saw this coming. Onkyo has signed a preliminary agreement to sell their largest, but not their only, remaining division – the home audio/video division – to a partnership consisting of Sharp Corp. and Voxx Intl. The deal includes the Onkyo, Integra, Pioneer, and Pioneer Elite brands.
But after the abject failure of three previous attempts to sell the troubled company, will this deal actually close? See my thoughts…

This is just the first change, as I’ve learned more announcements are just around the corner.
