Marley Spoon Group SE (“Marley Spoon” or the “Company”), a leading global direct-to-consumer meal provider, closed the strategic transactions announced on January 30, 2024.  

With those transactions, Marley Spoon Group acquires BistroMD, a US leading doctor-designed meal service, as a first step of the previously announced growth and consolidation strategy, adding €35m in revenue (based on unaudited management reports). Furthermore, the Company entered into a strategic partnership with FreshRealm whereas FreshRealm will be the Company’s partner for all US manufacturing and fulfillment operations, allowing Marley Spoon Group to operate asset-light and focusing on its market-facing direct-to-consumer business.

Marley Spoon receives €22 million through its transaction with FreshRealm for the sale of certain assets. Furthermore, Marley Spoon will reduce its outstanding loan balance with Runway Growth Finance Corp. (“Runway”) by €10.3, and the Company has amended its existing debt facilities with Runway, namely an extension of the interest-only period and the loan maturity date, each by 12 months, to January 2026 and June 2027, respectively.

Our meal-kit brands, Marley Spoon, Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon, and Dinnerly, bring pre-portioned fresh ingredients with tasty and simple recipes and other eating solutions reliably to our customers every week.
