## What changed

The company had already sold operational infrastructure and adopted an asset-light model before the Wonder agreement. The acquisition continued the Blue Apron brand within Wonder; it was not a shutdown. The announced equity value applies to the 2023 transaction and does not measure the proceeds of every prior asset disposal.
