ACQUISITIONS

Benchmark

In November 2023, we invested $10.0 million to acquire a 50.4% equity interest in Benchmark. As of December 31, 2024, management has finalized the valuations of all acquired assets and liabilities assumed in the acquisition and no measurement period adjustments were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024.

On April 17, 2024, Benchmark consummated the transaction contemplated in the Revolution Purchase Agreement. At the closing of Revolution Transaction pursuant to the Revolution Purchase Agreement, among other things, Benchmark acquired certain upstream assets and related facilities in Texas and Oklahoma, including approximately 140,000 net acres and an interest in approximately 470 operated producing wells, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Revolution Purchase Agreement for a purchase price of $145 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. Acacia funded a portion of the Revolution Purchase Price and related fees amounting to $59.9 million with cash on hand. The remainder of the Revolution Purchase Price was funded by a combination of borrowings under the Benchmark Revolving Credit Facility and the remaining being funded through a cash contribution of $15.3 million from other investors. Following closing, the Company’s interest in Benchmark is approximately 73.5%.

The Revolution Transaction is being accounted for as an asset acquisition under ASC 805, Business Combinations as substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in a group of similar identifiable assets. The accounting for asset acquisitions is accounted for by using a cost accumulation model, where the cost of the acquisition is allocated to the assets acquired on the basis of relative fair values.

Deflecto

On October 18, 2024, Deflecto Purchaser, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acacia, acquired Deflecto, pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Deflecto Stock Purchase Agreement”) entered into on the same day with Deflecto Holdings, LLC and Evriholder Finance LLC (collectively, the “Deflecto Sellers”), Deflecto and the Sellers’ Representative named therein. Pursuant to the Deflecto Stock Purchase Agreement, Deflecto Purchaser purchased all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Deflecto, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Deflecto Stock Purchase Agreement (such purchase and sale, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Deflecto Stock Purchase Agreement, the “Deflecto Transaction”).

The Deflecto Transaction closed simultaneously with the execution of the Deflecto Stock Purchase Agreement on October 18, 2024. Under the terms and conditions of the Deflecto Stock Purchase Agreement, the aggregate consideration paid to the Deflecto Sellers in the Deflecto Transaction consisted of $103.7 million, subject to certain working capital, debt and

other customary adjustments set forth in the Deflecto Stock Purchase Agreement. The Deflecto Purchase Price was funded with a combination of borrowings of a $48.0 million secured term loan (the “Deflecto Term Loan”) and cash on hand. A portion of the Deflecto Purchase Price is being held in escrow to indemnify Deflecto Purchaser against certain claims, losses and liabilities.

The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire Deflecto and the recognized amounts of identifiable assets and acquired liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):

Fair value of consideration transferred:
Cash	$	59,898

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	11,316
Accounts receivables	15,705
Inventories	17,617
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	4,498
Deferred tax assets	11,588
Property, plant and equipment, net	23,203

Total identifiable net assets	$	80,965
Goodwill	$	16,799

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the goodwill arising from the acquisition was decreased by $3.8 million due to measurement period adjustments. The measurement period adjustments were related to proceeds received from working capital adjustments of $1.2 million and increases in the preliminary valuations of the acquired assets and liabilities comprising: $2.2 million in customer relationships, $500,000 in trade names and trademarks, $315,000 in deferred tax assets, and $416,000 in deferred tax liabilities.

The estimates for acquired assets and liabilities remain provisional and may be subject to further adjustments during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition. The final purchase price allocation is expected to be completed by the end of 2025 and will be based on the final working capital adjustments and other analysis of fair values of acquired assets and liabilities.

Intangible Assets

Goodwill of $16.8 million represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill recognized is primarily attributed to the assembled workforce of Deflecto and new customer relationships that did not exist at the time of the transaction. None of the goodwill resulting from the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. All of the goodwill acquired is allocated to the Deflecto reporting unit. Other

intangible assets include $22.4 million of customer relationships, $1.0 million of developed technology, $9.1 million of trade names and trademarks and $704,000 of favorable leases, with useful lives ranging from 2 months to 15 years. Trade names and trademarks include indefinite lived intangible assets. Refer to Note 8 for additional information.

The fair values of all intangibles were estimated using the income approach. Specifically, the multi-period excess earnings method was applied in the valuation of the customer relationships, and the relief-from-royalty method was applied in the valuation of the trade names and trademarks. These fair value measurements are based on significant inputs unobservable in the market and, therefore, represent a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820. The key assumptions in applying the multi-period excess earnings method include the discount rate of 22%, growth rate, attrition rate, estimated profit margin and contributory asset charges. The key assumptions in applying the relief-from-royalty method include the applicable projected revenues, discount rate of 22%, remaining economic life or rate of obsolescence and estimated royalty rate. Refer to Note 13 for additional information related to fair value measurements.
