AmeriLife and Stephens-Matthews have not disclosed the price of the deal.
AmeriLife says that Dave Stephens, Stephens-Matthews’ founder, will continue to hold a minority interest in the company after the deal is completed.
Dave Matthews will continue to lead the Stephens-Matthews team under the Stephens-Matthews brand from the company’s current Beverly, Ohio headquarters, AmeriLife says.
