Related Party Transactions | NOTE 14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In the opinion of management, the rates, terms and considerations of the transactions with the related parties below are at least as favorable as those we could have obtained in arms length negotiations or otherwise are at prevailing market prices and terms. Kanders & Company, Inc. In September 2003, the Company and Kanders & Company, Inc. ("Kanders & Company"), an entity owned and controlled by the Company's Executive Chairman, Warren B. Kanders, entered into a 15-year lease with a five-year renewal option, as co-tenants with Kanders & Company to lease approximately 11,500 square feet in Stamford, Connecticut. Until May 28, 2010, the Company paid $32 a month for its 75% portion of the lease, Kanders & Company paid $11 a month for its 25% portion of the lease and rent expense was recognized on a straight-line basis. The lease provides the co-tenants with an option to terminate the lease in years eight and ten in consideration for a termination payment. In connection with the lease, the Company obtained a stand-by letter of credit in the amount of $850 to secure lease obligations for the Stamford facility and Kanders & Company reimbursed the Company for a pro rata portion of the approximately $5 annual cost of the letter of credit. As of December 31, 2011, the stand-by letter of credit of $850 was reduced to $292. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had no amounts outstanding owed to Kanders & Company. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had a payable of $147 owed to Kanders & Company. The amount due to Kanders & Company was included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Acquisition of Gregory Mountain Products, Inc. On May 28, 2010, the Company acquired GMP pursuant to a certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 7, 2010, from each of Kanders GMP Holdings, LLC and Schiller Gregory Investment Company, LLC, as the stockholders of GMP (the "Gregory Stockholders"). Mr. Warren B. Kanders, the Company's Executive Chairman and a member of its Board of Directors, is a majority member and a trustee of the manager of Kanders GMP Holdings, LLC. The sole manager of Schiller Gregory Investment Company, LLC is Mr. Robert R. Schiller, the Company's Executive Vice Chairman and a member of its Board of Directors. In the acquisition of GMP, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of GMP for an aggregate amount of approximately $44,100 (after closing adjustments of $889 relating to debt repayments, working capital and equity plan allocation), payable to the Gregory Stockholders in proportion to their respective ownership interests of GMP as follows: (i) the issuance of 2,419 unregistered shares of the Company's common stock to Kanders GMP Holdings, LLC and 1,256 unregistered shares of the Company's common stock to Schiller Gregory Investment Company, LLC, and (ii) the issuance by the Company of Merger Consideration Subordinated Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $14,517 to Kanders GMP Holdings, LLC and in the aggregate principal amount of $7,539 to Schiller Gregory Investment Company, LLC. The acquisition of GMP was approved by a special committee comprised of independent directors of the Company's Board of Directors. In connection with the Company's acquisition of GMP, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with each of the Gregory Stockholders, pursuant to which the Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), as soon as reasonably practicable, a "shelf" registration statement covering the 3,676 shares of the Company's common stock, received by the Gregory Stockholders as part of the consideration received by them in connection with the acquisition of GMP. In addition, in the event that the Company files a registration statement during any period that there is not an effective registration statement covering all of the shares received by the Gregory Stockholders in the acquisition, the Gregory Stockholders shall have "piggyback" rights, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks. On July 29, 2011, the Company filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC covering the shares of the Company's common stock received by the GMP stockholders and certain other officers and employees of the Company.
