Note 1. Purchase Price – Vincent Group p.l.c (“Coolbet”)

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects an estimated purchase price of approximately $218.1 million. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the consideration transferred and the recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

 

Fair value of the consideration transferred:

 

Cash paid to Vincent Group shareholders  $111,118 
Restricted ordinary shares issued to Vincent Group shareholders (1)   106,683 
Replacement equity-based awards to holders of Vincent Group equity-based awards (2)   297 
Total  $218,098 

 

(1) The share consideration represents 5,260,516 ordinary shares issued to the Vincent Group shareholders multiplied by the Company’s share price of $20.28 on the acquisition date.

 

(2) The replacement equity-based awards consist of options to purchase 67,830 shares of the Company’s ordinary shares. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the fair value of replacement equity-based awards attributable to pre-combination service is recorded as part of the consideration transferred in the acquisition, while the fair value of the replacement equity-based awards attributable to post-combination service is recorded separately from the business combination and recognized as compensation cost in the post-acquisition period over the remaining service period. The fair value of the replacement awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing various assumptions. The vesting terms and conditions of the unvested options were replaced with terms identical to those of the original awards.

 

Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value:

 

Cash  $18,714 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets   1,512 
Property and equipment   343 
Operating lease right-of-use assets   416 
Intangible assets   48,370 
Other noncurrent assets   73 
Accounts payable   (1,182)
Liabilities to users   (5,373)
Other current liabilities   (1,797)
Operating lease liabilities   (167)
Deferred income taxes   (2,265)
Noncurrent operating lease liabilities   (231)
Total identifiable net assets   58,413 
Goodwill   159,685 
   $218,098 

 

 
 

 

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

(dollars in thousands)

 

Identifiable intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition, including their respective expected useful lives, were preliminarily identified as follows:

 

  

Estimated useful life

(in years)

  

Preliminary

Fair Value
 
Trade names and trademarks   10.0   $5,800 
Developed technology   3.0    28,100 
In-process developed technology       8,400 
Customer relationships   3.0    5,600 
Licenses   various    470 
        $48,370 

 

The preliminary fair value of the intangibles assets is primarily determined using the income approach. In performing these valuations of the intangible assets, the Company’s key underlying assumptions used in the discounted cash flows were projected revenue, gross margin expectations and operating cost estimates. There are inherent uncertainties and management judgment in these valuations. The acquired in-process technology consists of a proprietary technical platform. When completed and placed in service, the developed technology will be amortized over its estimated useful life based on and using amortization methods that reflect the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or otherwise realized. The technology is expected to be completed in the latter part of 2021. The Company recorded a net deferred income tax liability of $2,265 associated with the intangible assets recorded in the acquisition accounting.

 

The Company has not finalized the purchase price allocation, which is pending further analysis of the net assets acquired. The above cash consideration is subject to adjustment for the final working capital adjustment. Additionally, the Company is continuing to evaluate the tax impacts related to the acquisition. Such tax impacts include the tax rate to be used in the post-tax cash flow assumptions in valuing the intangible assets, which have been preliminarily calculated at 35%, the statutory tax rate in Malta. A material change in the tax rate, on a market participant perspective, would have a material effect on the value of the intangible assets and the related deferred tax liability thereon. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation shown above could change materially.

 

The Company incurred $1,309 of acquisition-related costs of which $1,019 of such nonrecurring costs ($854, net of tax) were included in the Company’s historical statement of operation for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Note 2. Pro Forma Adjustments

 

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared as if the acquisition was completed on January 1, 2020 for the statement of operations purposes and reflect the following pro forma adjustments:

 

(a) – Reflects the difference between the share-based compensation expense of $475 related to replacement awards issued to continuing employees as part of the Agreement and Coolbet’s historical share-based compensation expense of $88. The fair value of the replacement share-based awards, includes stock options, will be recognized over the remaining post-combination service periods ranging for 1 to 2 years.

 

(b) – Reflects the difference between the amortization of identifiable definite-lived intangible assets of $11,105 in the Coolbet Acquisition and Coolbet’s historical amortization of identifiable definite-lived intangible assets of $173.

 

(c) – Reflects the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments at our statutory effective income tax rate of 16.2% for the year ended December 31, 2020. This rate does not reflect our effective tax rate, which will include other tax items such as state and foreign taxes as well as other tax charges, benefits and valuation allowances, and does not consider any historical or possible future tax events that may impact the combined company.

 

(d) – Reflects the increase in the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for 5,260,516 ordinary shares issued to the shareholders of Coolbet as partial payment of the aggregate purchase price.
