Flexible Solutions International traded its remaining 19.9% FL LLC stake for perpetual exclusive rights to four agricultural products across Latin America, recouping lost sales channels after a cash deal collapsed.
Flexible Solutions International (FSI) traded its remaining 19.9% equity stake in the FL LLC for perpetual exclusive rights to manufacture and sell four agricultural products across Latin America. The territory covers all countries south of the U.S.-Mexico border, plus Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.
The move reworks a 2024 deal. On Aug. 12, 2024, FSI sold 30.1% of the FL LLC for $2 million up front and five annual payments of $800,000. The acquirer stopped funding those payments. FSI did not name the buyer in the release.
Under the new arrangement, FSI gains the intellectual property and exclusive sales rights for four agricultural products it had been manufacturing for a decade. CEO Dan O'Brien said the company believes "lost sales can be recovered and the historic revenue we saw from the FL LLC investment can be realized again." O'Brien added that full revenue recovery "will not be immediate but we feel that significant progress will be made in the second half of 2026."
FSI's NanoChem Solutions subsidiary produces biodegradable polymers using thermal polyaspartate (TPA) for crop enhancement and water treatment. The Latin American agricultural chemical market has been a growth focus for the company. By regaining direct control of the product line after the buyer defaulted, FSI eliminates the cash-flow risk tied to the former earnout structure. The swap also cancels the $800,000 annual payment stream that had already stopped.
The company also manufactures water and energy conservation products and, since 2022, food and nutrition supplements from its FDA-approved Peru plant. FSI's stock, listed on the NYSE American, traded near $1.80 in the days before the announcement.
