Acquisitions

 

Emerald

 

On April 29, 2022 (the “Emerald Closing Date”), the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock (the “Emerald Acquisition”) of Emerald Construction Management, Inc. (“Emerald”) from its shareholders (collectively, the “Emerald Sellers”) through a forward merger into a wholly owned subsidiary of urban-gro, which has subsequently changed its name post-merger to Emerald Construction Management, Inc. The aggregate initial purchase price for the Emerald Acquisition was $7.8 million (the “Initial Emerald Purchase Price”), which represented $7.0 million in initial purchase price and an estimated $0.8 million in working capital adjustments.

 

The Initial Emerald Purchase Price was payable as follows: $3.3 million in cash to the Emerald Sellers, net of satisfaction of Emerald’s outstanding debt of approximately $0.4 million; and 283,515 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $2.5 million issued to the Emerald Sellers. The value of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued at closing was determined based upon the daily volume weighted average closing price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock in the ten trading days prior to the signing date of the Emerald Acquisition Agreement.

 

The Emerald Sellers may earn up to $2.0 million of contingent consideration (the “Emerald Contingent Consideration”) based on the performance of Emerald during the 2-year period following the Emerald Closing Date. The Emerald Contingent Consideration is payable quarterly in shares of the Company’s common stock for a two-year period and will be equal to 35% of Emerald’s Quarterly Gross Profit (as defined in the Emerald Acquisition Agreement). The value of such shares will be determined based upon the VWAP of the Company’s common stock in the ten trading days prior to the end of the applicable quarter the Quarterly Gross Profit is calculated. The Company accounted for the acquisition of Emerald as follows:

 

 

         
Purchase Price   $ 7,671,557  
         
Allocation of Purchase Price:        
Cash   $ 622,641  
Accounts receivable   $ 2,666,811

The following pro forma amounts reflect the Company’s results as if the acquisition of Emerald had occurred on January 1, 2021. These pro forma amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of the acquisition to reflect the additional amortization of intangibles.

In connection with the acquisition of the 2WR Purchased Shares, the Buyer entered into an affiliate relationship with 2WR of Mississippi, P.C., a Mississippi professional corporation (“2WRMS” and together with 2WRCO, 2WRGA and MJ12, the “2WR Entities”). The transaction closed on July 30, 2021.

The 2WR Purchased Shares were payable as follows: $6.5 million in cash, net of the satisfaction of 2WR’s outstanding debt of $0.5 million; and 202,066 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $2.0 million issued to the 2WR Sellers (the “2WR Closing Payment Shares”). The value of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued at closing was determined based upon the daily VWAP of the Company’s common stock in the ten trading days prior to the signing date of the 2WR Purchase Agreement.

The value of the 2WR Closing Payment Shares was determined based upon the VWAP of the Company’s common stock in the ten trading days prior to the issuance of such shares.
