On January 2, 2018, Johnson Company paid $310 million to acquire 14,000,000 shares of Pets Corp. The investment represented 30% of the total shares outstanding of Pets Corp. and gave Johnson Company the ability to exert significant influence upon the operations of Pets Corp.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, Pets Corp. paid dividends of $1.10 per share (declared and paid on November 12, 2018) and reported income of $245 million. The market value of Pets Corp. stock at December 31, 2018, was $24.50 per share.
