On April 20, 2020, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on March 6, 2020, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Wheelhouse Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”) and Wheelhouse Holdings Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Buyer (“Merger Sub”), completed a merger (the “Transaction”) with Marucci Sports, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Marucci”). Upon the completion of the Transaction, Marucci became a wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer and an indirect subsidiary of the Company. Headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Marucci is a leading manufacturer and distributor of baseball and softball equipment. Founded in 2009, Marucci has a product portfolio that includes wood and metal bats, apparel and accessories, batting and fielding gloves and bags and protective gear.

The Company made loans to, and purchased a 92.2% equity interest in, Marucci. The purchase price, including proceeds from noncontrolling shareholders and net of transaction costs, was $198.9 million. Marucci management and certain existing shareholders invested in the Transaction along with the Company, representing 7.8% initial noncontrolling interest on both a primary and fully diluted basis. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was determined based on the enterprise value of the acquired entity multiplied by the ratio of the number of shares acquired by the minority holders to total shares. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. CGM acted as an advisor to the Company in the acquisition and will continue to provide integration services during the first year of the Company's ownership of Marucci. CGM will receive integration service fees of $2.0 million payable quarterly over a twelve month period as services are rendered which payments began in the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The Company incurred $2.0 million of transaction costs in conjunction with the Marucci acquisition, which was included in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations during the second quarter of 2020.

The results of operations of Marucci have been included in the consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition. Marucci's results of operations are reported as a separate operating segment as a branded consumer business. The table below provides the recording of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition.

The allocation of the purchase price presented above is based on management's estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including the income, cost and market approach. In estimating the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the fair value estimates are based on, but not limited to, expected future revenue and cash flows, expected future growth rates and estimated discount rates. Current and noncurrent assets and current and other liabilities are valued at historical carrying values. Property, plant and equipment is valued through a purchase price appraisal and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the respective remaining useful lives of the assets. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce and non-contractual relationships, as well as expected future synergies. The goodwill of $68.2 million reflects the strategic fit of Marucci in the Company's branded consumer business and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The tradename was valued at $84.9 million using a multi-period excess earnings methodology. The customer relationships intangible asset was valued at $11.1 million using the distributor method, a variation of the multi-period excess earnings methodology, in which an asset is valuable to the extent it enables its owners to earn a return in excess of the required returns on the other assets utilized in the business. The technology was valued at $4.2 million using a relief from royalty method.

On October 16, 2020, the Company, through its newly formed acquisition subsidiaries, BOA Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BOA Holdings”) and BOA Parent Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BOA Buyer”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BOA Holdings, acquired Boa Technology Inc. ("BOA"), and its subsidiaries pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement and Plan of Merger”) by and among BOA Buyer, Reel Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Reel”) and the sole stockholder of Boa Technology, Inc., BOA Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BOA Buyer (“Merger Sub”) and Shareholder Representative Services LLC (in its capacity as the representative of the stockholders of Reel) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Reel Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (“BOA”) and the sole stockholder of Boa Technology, Inc., BOA Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary

of BOA Buyer (“Merger Sub”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC (in its capacity as the representative of the stockholders of BOA). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into BOA (the “Merger”) such that the separate existence of Merger Sub ceased, and BOA survived the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of BOA Buyer. BOA, creators of the award-winning BOA® Fit System featured in performance footwear, action sports, outdoor and medical products worldwide, was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Denver, Colorado.

The Company made loans to, and purchased an 82% equity interest in, BOA. The purchase price, including proceeds from noncontrolling shareholders and net of transaction costs, was $454.3 million. BOA management and certain existing shareholders invested in the transaction along with the Company, representing 18% initial noncontrolling interest on both a primary and fully diluted basis. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was determined based on the enterprise value of the acquired entity multiplied by the ratio of the number of shares acquired by the minority holders to total shares. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. CGM acted as an advisor to the Company in the acquisition and will continue to provide integration services during the first year of the Company's ownership of BOA. CGM will receive integration service fees of $4.4 million payable quarterly over a twelve month period as services are rendered which payments began in the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The Company incurred $2.5 million of transaction costs in conjunction with the BOA acquisition, which was included in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations during the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company funded the acquisition with cash on hand and a $300 million draw on its 2018 Revolving Credit Facility.

The results of operations of BOA have been included in the consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition.
