Neighborhood Intelligence, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXH) (“Neighborhood” or the “Company”) today announced that the Company and F9 Brands, Inc. (“F9”) have terminated the previously announced acquisition agreement.
We determined F9 was unable to satisfy all closing requirements within the contemplated timeframe. Neighborhood will not proceed with the acquisition or enter into a commercial or strategic collaboration with F9. The companies will continue to operate independently, and the terms and economics of the previously announced acquisition agreement are no longer in effect.
As of August 31, 2026, after giving effect to the completed acquisitions of The Container Store, Kirkland’s, Installed Right and SFV Construction Services, Neighborhood had approximately 97 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
No shares will be issued and no acquisition capital will be deployed in connection with F9.
“Disciplined capital allocation and protecting shareholder value are central to how we evaluate every transaction,” said Marcus Lemonis, Executive Chairman of Neighborhood Intelligence. “We evaluate opportunities continuously, and this is one of many transactions we have considered that we elected not to pursue. In this case, we determined the seller was unable to satisfy the closing conditions, which are essential to our confidence in any business we acquire. We appreciate the time and effort contributed by the F9 management team and employees throughout the process. We remain focused on the strength of the Home Services platform, anchored by Elfa, Closet Works and SFV Construction Services, and on pursuing opportunities that meet our strategic, financial, and operational standards.”
Neighborhood plans to build on Elfa’s whole-home solutions platform by leveraging its design, engineering and manufacturing capabilities across kitchen, laundry, bath, closet and garage.
