(NASDAQ:DXYN) today announced termination of the previously announced agreement for the sale and leaseback of its distribution facility in Adairsville, Georgia.

Commenting on the announcement, Dan Frierson, the Company's Chief Executive Officer said, "Although it is unfortunate that our potential buyer for the Adairsville facility changed the terms of the agreement, to terms we did not find acceptable, we are moving forward with our plan to enter into a sale leaseback transaction. We are currently working with multiple parties who have expressed interest in purchasing one of our facilities.
