Quoted from Big 5 Sporting Goods Corp's Form 8-K.

This is the only completed acquisition Worldwide Sports Group Holdings LLC reported under Item 2.01 in the last twelve months, as far as the filings of the companies it bought show.

Where this comes from

A public company must file a current report on Form 8-K with the SEC within four business days of completing a significant acquisition or disposition of assets, under Item 2.01 of the report. The acquired company sometimes files one too, when the deal makes it a subsidiary of the buyer.

Every fact on this page is taken from one of those filings and linked to it: which company acquired which, the date the filing gives for completion, and the price when the filing states one in dollars, shown next to the sentence that states it. A filing states what was bought and on what terms; it rarely states why, and neither does this page.
