Newmark

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company purchased a majority interest in an affiliated company of Newmark for total consideration transferred of approximately $2.1 million. As a result of such transaction, the Company recognized goodwill of approximately $1.5 million, which was allocated to the Company’s Real Estate Services segment. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company purchased additional noncontrolling interests related to Newmark for approximately $8.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company purchased additional noncontrolling interests related to Newmark for approximately $9.4 million.

Grubb & Ellis

On April 13, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Grubb & Ellis. The total consideration transferred for Grubb & Ellis was $47.1 million. The consideration transferred included the extinguishment of approximately $30.0 million (principal amount) pre-bankruptcy senior secured debt (the “Notes Receivable”), which the Company purchased at a discount, and which had a fair value of approximately $25.6 million as of the acquisition date. The consideration transferred also included approximately $5.5 million under debtor-in-possession term loans and $16.0 million in cash to the bankruptcy estate for the benefit of Grubb & Ellis’ unsecured creditors. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill of $5.0 million and allocated to the Company’s Real Estate Services segment. The Company had total direct costs of approximately $2.8 million related to the acquisition of Grubb & Ellis.

 

The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information of the Company as if the acquisition of Grubb & Ellis had occurred on January 1, 2011. Grubb & Ellis’ results for the second quarter of 2012 prior to its acquisition by the Company are not material and, as a result, pro forma unaudited supplemental information has not been provided for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as the amounts are materially consistent with the amounts recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012. These pro forma results are not indicative of operations that would have been achieved, nor are they indicative of future results of operations. The pro forma results do not reflect any potential cost savings or other operational efficiencies that could result from the acquisition. The historical financials of Grubb & Ellis and the pro forma information contain unusual and non-recurring expenses incurred during the distressed period leading up to the Grubb & Ellis bankruptcy. The pro forma information also does not include any adjustments for expenses with respect to assets or liabilities not acquired or assumed by the Company.

Other Acquisitions

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company completed other acquisitions for a total consideration of $24.5 million, of which $20.0 million was attributed to goodwill. Of the $20.0 million attributed to goodwill, approximately $15.7 million was allocated to the Company’s Real Estate Services segment and approximately $4.3 million was allocated to the Company’s Financial Services segment. See Note 14—“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net” for further information with regard to the Company’s goodwill by reportable segment. The Company’s allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary. The Company expects to finalize its analysis within the first year after the acquisitions, and therefore adjustments to the preliminary allocation may occur.

In February 2013, the Company acquired certain assets of Sterling International Brokers, a money brokerage company, for nominal consideration. The Company expects to finalize its allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed within the first year after the acquisition, and therefore adjustments to the preliminary allocation may occur.

In June 2013, the Company acquired a controlling interest in an entity that had previously been accounted for using the equity method. This transaction resulted in the consolidation of the entity in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to the Company’s acquisition of a controlling interest. In connection with this transaction, the Company recognized goodwill of approximately $1.3 million, which was allocated to the Company’s Financial Services segment. The Company expects to finalize its analysis within the first year after the acquisition, and therefore adjustments to the preliminary allocation may occur.

The results of operations of Newmark, Grubb & Ellis and the Company’s other acquisitions have been included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to their respective dates of acquisition.
