Acquisition of Coflex and CoFix Product Lines

(2) Acquisition of Coflex and CoFix Product Lines

On February 28, 2023, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”) with Surgalign SPV, Inc. (“Surgalign SPV”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Surgalign Spine Technologies, Inc., (“Seller”), Seller and Surgalign Holdings, Inc., pursuant to which the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Surgalign SPV, which shares constituted all of the outstanding equity of Surgalign SPV, for an aggregate purchase price of $17.0 million in cash (the “Purchase Price”). The closing contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement occurred on February 28, 2023 (the “Closing”).

Immediately prior to the Closing, Seller and its affiliates transferred and assigned to Surgalign SPV, a newly formed entity wholly owned by Seller, certain intellectual property, contractual rights and other assets related to the design, manufacture, sale and distribution of Seller’s Coflex and CoFix products in the United States (the “Coflex Business”). The Coflex and CoFix products have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of moderate to severe lumbar spinal stenosis in conjunction with decompression and provide minimally invasive, motion preserving stabilization.

In conjunction with the Equity Purchase Agreement, on February 28, 2023, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement with Surgalign SVP and Seller, whereby Seller agreed to provide, or cause to be provided, to the Company on and after the effective date of the Equity Purchase Agreement, after giving effect to the Closing, certain transitional services related to the transition of the Coflex Business.

The Company funded the Purchase Price with cash on hand and approximately $5.0 million of indebtedness incurred under our term loan, refer to Note 11, “Debt,” for additional information.

The Company recorded the purchase of this acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, recognized the assets acquired at their fair values as of the date of acquisition. The table below represents the allocation of the total consideration for Surgalign SPV’s assets and liabilities based on management’s estimates of their respective fair values as of February 28, 2023 (in thousands):

Inventories	$	1,589
Equipment		947
Intangible assets		10,940
Net assets acquired		13,476
Goodwill		3,524
Total purchase consideration	$	17,000

The acquisition was recorded by allocating the costs of the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The fair values were based on management’s analysis, including work performed by third-party valuation specialists.

The acquisition strengthened the Company’s spine portfolio with the addition of the Coflex Business. Coflex is a differentiated and minimally invasive motion preserving stabilization implant that is premarket approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of moderate to severe lumbar spinal stenosis in conjunction with decompression. This potential benefit resulted in the Company paying a premium for the acquisition resulting in the recognition of $3.5 million in goodwill. For tax purposes, goodwill is deductible.
