2. Business Combination

On May 3, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to purchase all of the outstanding membership interest units in Picky Bars, LLC (“Picky Bars”), innovators in the healthy snack industry focused on nutritionally balanced, real-food products to fuel performance, for a debt-free purchase price of $11,111,830 in cash, subject to customary working capital adjustments, and 53,133 shares of Company common stock, subject to certain vesting conditions. The transaction closed simultaneously with execution of the agreement. Picky Bars results of operations were included in the Company’s results beginning May 2021. The fair value of the shares of common stock issued as part of the consideration paid for Picky Bars was determined on the basis of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for Picky Bars and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date:

The transaction is aligned with Laird Superfood’s strategic goals, specifically the addition of unique and innovative daily-use products across the Company’s omnichannel platform, and the acquisition of highly complementary assets such as a recurring direct-to-consumer customer base, and is expected to support continued net sales growth and improve the gross margin profile of the Company. Goodwill arising as a result of the acquisition of Picky Bars is primarily the result of synergies in business strategy, target market, and values, from expected cost savings from consolidating operations, and from the anticipated growth that the Company’s supply chain and resources will bring to Picky Bars’ operations. Operations have been fully integrated under management of the Company in Sisters, Oregon. The Company continues to operate as one segment. Our estimates of fair value of intangible assets are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, yet are inherently uncertain and, as a result, may differ from actual performance. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, we may record adjustments to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill, as appropriate, in the period in which such revised estimates are identified. The measurement period is complete, and the Company recorded goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges in the first quarter of 2022 of $6,846,000 and $1,540,000, respectively. See Note 9 of the notes to these consolidated unaudited financial statements.

This unaudited pro forma financial data is included only for the purpose of illustration and does not necessarily indicate what the operating results would have been if the acquisition had occurred on January 1 of the year prior to the acquisition. Moreover, this information is not indicative of what the Company’s future operating results will be. The information prior to the acquisition is included based on prior accounting records maintained by Picky Bars. The pro forma amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of Picky Bars to reflect the accrual of payroll related costs and depreciation. The unaudited pro forma financial information includes non-recurring adjustments to remove transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition.
