HIRE Technologies (HIRE) has signed an agreement to divest from Taylor Ryan Inc.

The sale of the real estate and construction vertical allows HIRE to extinguish a 2023 capital commitment of $9.7 million and record an expected gain on the sale in Q4 2022.

The transaction will also reduce net assets by $4.8 million and current liabilities by $7.9 million in contingent remuneration.

The cashless transaction, which closed today, includes transitional services from HIRE.

Prior to the close, HIRE purchased certain Taylor Ryan receivables for a $1 million secured promissory note bearing interest at 8 per cent. The note will rank junior to the company’s senior secured lending facilities.
