Aterian, Inc. announced the sale of substantially all assets of its consumer products business to Trademark Global, LLC for $18 million, subject to adjustments. Concurrently, David E. Lazar agreed to purchase 3.5 million shares of preferred stock. In connection with these transactions, the company's board declared a contingent value rights (CVR) dividend for common stockholders and certain warrant holders as of July 8, 2026. The CVRs will distribute a portion of remaining cash and proceeds from the asset sale and investment, with payments expected by September 4, 2026, though exact timing and amounts are uncertain.

Aterian, Inc. announced it has mailed proxy materials for a Special Meeting of Stockholders on July 10, 2026, to approve a strategic reorganization.

The net proceeds from the asset sale, estimated between $10.6 million and $14.2 million, will be distributed to stockholders, including through Contingent Value Rights (CVRs).
