Business Combination Business Combination
On November 18, 2021, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the “MIPA Agreement”) to acquire of all of the issued and outstanding equity ownership of BasX, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company, doing business as BasX Solutions. We closed this transaction on December 10, 2021 for a purchase price of (i) $100.0 million payable in cash (not including working capital adjustments), and (ii) up to $80.0 million in the aggregate of contingent consideration payable in shares of the Company's stock, par value $0.004 per share (the "Shares").

The $80.0 million of contingent consideration payable consists of $78.0 million payable to the former owners of BasX and $2.0 million payable to key employees of BasX whom are now employed by the Company. The potential future issuance of the Shares is contingent upon BasX meeting certain post-closing earn-out milestones during each of 2021, 2022, and 2023 under the terms of the MIPA Agreement. The Company funded the BasX acquisition cash portion of the purchase price and related transaction costs with cash on hand.

Additionally, as a condition to closing, the Company entered into a real estate purchase agreement with BasX Properties, LLC, an affiliate of BasX, to acquire the principal real property and improvements utilized by BasX for an additional $22.0 million, subject to customary closing conditions and adjustments. The Company expects this real estate transaction to close by the end of the first quarter of 2022.

BasX specializes in the design, engineering and manufacturing of custom, energy efficient cooling solutions for the rapidly growing hyperscale data center market. BasX also designs and manufactures custom solutions for cleanroom environments for the bio-pharmaceutical, semiconductor, medical and agriculture markets, as well as custom, energy efficient air handlers and modular solutions for a vast array of markets. The acquisition of BasX brings the Company exposure to attractive end-markets into which the Company has historically had minimal exposure. The products BasX manufactures are highly engineered, customized products, fully complimenting AAON's existing business.

We incurred $4.4 million in transaction fees related to the acquisition of BasX which are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses on our consolidated statement of income. We have included the results of BasX’s operations in our consolidated financial statements beginning December 11, 2021.    

We applied pushdown accounting, allowable under ASC 805 "Business Combinations," to "pushdown" our stepped-up basis in the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to BasX's subsidiary financial statements. The decision to apply pushdown accounting is irrevocable. Goodwill was calculated and recognized consistent with acquisition accounting, resulting in the pushdown of $82.5 million in goodwill as of December 31, 2021.
The following table presents the allocation of the consideration paid to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their fair values as of December 10, 2021, in the acquisition of BasX described above, which was still preliminary at December 31, 2021. The provisional amounts are subject to change as the Company continues to evaluate the information required to complete the valuation through the measurement period. We expect to complete our valuation in the first quarter of 2022.

Goodwill is the excess of the consideration paid for the acquired businesses over the fair value of the individual assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. Goodwill represents a premium paid to acquire the skilled workforce and expanded market opportunities. Goodwill of $16.5 million is tax deductible upon close of the acquisition. Future additional amounts of goodwill related to the contingent consideration may become tax deductible in the future if the earn out provisions of the MIPA are achieved.
