Note 3. Acquisitions

Acquisition of Bonaccord

On September 30, 2021, the Company completed the purchase of Bonaccord for total consideration of $56.4 million, which includes cash and contingent consideration. Bonaccord is engaged in the business of acquiring minority interests in alternative asset management companies focused on private market strategies which may include private equity, private client, real estate, and real asset strategies. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting pursuant to ASC 805.

The following is a summary of consideration paid:

A total of $35.0 million of the cash consideration was financed through an amendment to the term loan under the Facility with HPS Investment Partners, LLC ("HPS"). The additional draw had the same terms as the existing Facility, including the maturity date.

Included in total consideration is $17.4 million of contingent consideration, representing the fair value of expected future payments on the date of the acquisition. The amount ultimately owed to the sellers is based on achieving specific fundraising targets and any amounts paid to the sellers will be paid by October 2027, at which point the contingent consideration expires. Total contingent consideration payments will not exceed $20.0 million.

The fair value was derived from an analysis of the option pricing model and the scenario based model. The assumptions used in the analysis are inherently subjective; therefore, the ultimate amount of the liability may differ materially from the current estimate. As of March 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the remaining contingent consideration totaled $19.2 million, with the increase since acquisition driven primarily by changes in the Company's borrowing rate due to the debt refinancing. See Note 11 for more details.

At the time of the acquisition, the Company entered into a Notice of Restricted Stock Units with certain employees of Bonaccord, for 1,113,637 Restricted Stock Units ("Bonaccord Units"), to be allocated and granted to employees at a later date for meeting certain performance metrics. The Bonaccord Units may not be transferred, sold, pledged, exchanged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by any grantee until it has become vested. As of March 31, 2022, no Bonaccord Units have been allocated to specific employees or vested and no expense has been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Bonaccord Units will be allocated to specific employees as the performance metrics are met.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred a total of $0.5 million of acquisition-related expenses. Total acquisition-related expenses were $0 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. These costs are included in professional fees on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The acquisition date fair value of certain assets and liabilities, including intangible assets acquired and related weighted average expected lives are provisional and subject to revision within one year of the acquisition date. As such, our estimates of fair values are pending finalization, which may result in adjustments to goodwill.

In connection with the acquisition, Bonaccord assumed a Strategic Alliance Agreement ("SAA"), providing a third-party the right to receive 15% of the net management fee earnings, which includes the management fees minus applicable expenses, for Bonaccord Fund I ("Fund I"), paid quarterly, in exchange for funding certain amounts of capital commitments to the fund. See Note 5 for more information.

Goodwill

The goodwill recorded as part of the acquisition includes the expected benefits that management believes will result from the acquisition, including the Company’s build out of its investment product offering. Approximately $42.9 million of goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Acquisition of Hark

On September 30, 2021, the Company completed the purchase of Hark for total consideration of $7.2 million, which includes $5.0 million of cash and $2.2 million of estimated contingent consideration, with the fair value based on the scenario based method. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting pursuant to ASC 805. Hark is engaged in the business of making loans to portfolio companies that are owned or controlled by financial sponsors, such as private equity funds or venture capital funds, and which do not meet traditional direct lending underwriting criteria, but where the repayment of the loan by the portfolio company is guaranteed by its financial sponsor. The provisional fair value consisted of $2.5 million in net assets and $4.7 million in goodwill. The total contingent consideration payment will not exceed $5.4 million.

At the time of the acquisition, the Company entered into a Notice of Restricted Stock Units with an employee, which grants 95,455 Restricted Stock Units ("Hark Units") for meeting a certain performance metric. The Hark Units may not be transferred, sold, pledged, exchanged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by any grantee until they have become vested. As of March 31, 2022, no Hark Units have vested and no expense has been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as we have not determined that the achievement of the performance metric is probable.

 

Identifiable Intangible Assets

The fair value of management and advisory contracts acquired were estimated using the excess earnings method. Significant inputs to the valuation model include existing revenue, estimates of expenses and contributory asset charges, the economic life of the contracts and a discount rate based on a weighted average cost of capital.

The fair value of trade names acquired were estimated using the relief from royalty method. Significant inputs to the valuation model include estimates of existing and future revenue, estimated royalty rate, economic life and a discount rate based on a weighted average cost of capital.

The fair value of technology acquired was estimated using the relief from royalty method. Significant inputs to the valuation model include a royalty rate, an estimated life and a discount rate.

The management and advisory contracts, trade names and the acquired technology all have a finite useful life. The carrying value of the management fund and advisory contracts and trade names will be amortized in line with the pattern in which the economic benefits arise and are reviewed at least annually for indicators of impairment in value that is other than temporary. The technology will be amortized on a straight-line basis.
