Acquisitions and Dispositions | 4. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS Acquisition of Sasol Gabon S.A.’s Interest in EtameOn February 25, 2021, VAALCO Gabon S.A. completed the acquisition of Sasol’s 27.8% working interest in the Etame Marin block offshore Gabon pursuant to the SPA. The effective date of the transaction was July 1, 2020. Prior to the Sasol Acquisition, the Company owned and operated a 31.1% working interest in Etame. The Sasol Acquisition increased the Company’s working interest to 58.8%. As a result of the Sasol Acquisition, the net portion of production and costs relating to the Company’s Etame operations increased from 31.1% to 58.8%. Reserves, production and financial results for the interests acquired in the Sasol Acquisition have been included in VAALCO’s results for periods after February 25, 2021. The following amounts represent the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Sasol Acquisition. The final determination of fair value for certain assets and liabilities will be completed as soon as the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained. These amounts will be finalized as soon as possible, but no later than one year from the date of the acquisition. The final determination of fair value for certain assets and liabilities (VAT and accrued liabilities) could differ materially from the amounts set forth below: February 25, 2021 (in thousands)Purchase Consideration Cash$ 33,959Fair value of contingent consideration 4,647 Total purchase consideration$ 38,606 February 25, 2021 (in thousands)Assets acquired: Wells, platforms and other production facilities$ 37,176Equipment and other 5,568Value added tax and other receivables 1,234Abandonment funding 11,781Accounts receivable - trade 11,220Other current assets 3,963Liabilities assumed: Asset retirement obligations (14,564)Accrued liabilities and other (10,121)Bargain purchase gain (7,651)Total purchase price$ 38,606 All assets and liabilities associated with Sasol’s interest in Etame Marin block, including crude oil and natural gas properties, asset retirement obligations and working capital items, were recorded at their fair value. The Company used estimated future crude oil prices as of the closing date, February 25, 2021, to apply to the estimated reserve quantities acquired and market participant assumptions to the estimated future operating and development costs to arrive at the estimates of future net revenues. The future net revenues were discounted using the Company’s weighted average cost of capital to determine the fair value at closing. The valuations to derive the purchase price included the use of both proved and unproved categories of reserves, expectation for timing and amount of future development and operating costs, projections of future rates of production, expected recovery rates, and risk adjusted discount rates. Other significant estimates were used by the Company to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company has one year from the date of closing to record purchase price adjustments as a result of changes in such estimates. As a result of comparing the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed a $7.7 million bargain purchase gain was recognized. A bargain purchase gain of $5.2 million is included in “Other, net” under “Other income (expense)” in the consolidated statements of operations. An income tax benefit of $4.1 million, related to the bargain purchase gain, is also included in the consolidated statements of operations. The bargain purchase gain is primarily attributable to the increase in crude oil price forecasts from the date the SPA was signed, November 17, 2020, to the closing date, February 25, 2021, when the fair value of the reserves associated with the Sasol Acquisition were determined.The impact of the Sasol Acquisition was an increase to “Crude oil and natural gas sales” of $84.6 million and $29.3 million of “Net income” in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.The unaudited pro forma results presented below have been prepared to give the effect to the Sasol Acquisition discussed above on the Company’s results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, as if the Sasol Acquisition had been consummated on January 1, 2020. The unaudited pro forma results do not purport to represent what the Company’s actual results of operations would have been if the Sasol Acquisition had been completed on such date or to project the Company’s results of operations for any future date or period. Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 (in thousand) Pro forma (unaudited) Crude oil and natural gas sales$ 216,848 $ 127,199 Operating income (loss) 89,782 (16,902) Net income (loss) 66,001(a) (36,508)(b) Basic net income (loss) per share: Income (loss) from continuing operations$1.14 $(0.63) Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax (0.01) — Net income (loss) per share$ 1.13 $ (0.63) Basic weighted average shares outstanding 58,230 57,594 Diluted net income (loss) per share: Income (loss) from continuing operations$1.12 $(0.63) Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax — — Net income (loss) per share$ 1.12 $ (0.63) Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 58,755 57,594 ____________________________(a)The unaudited pro forma net income for the year ended December 31, 2021 excludes nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the Sasol Acquisition, consisting of a bargain purchase gain of $7.7 million and transaction costs of $1.0 million.(b)The unaudited pro forma net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the Sasol Acquisition, consisting of a bargain purchase gain of $7.7 million and transaction costs of $1.0 million. Under the terms of the SPA, a contingent payment of $5.0 million was payable to Sasol should the average Dated Brent price over a consecutive 90-day period from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2022 exceed $60.00 per barrel. Included in the purchase consideration was the fair value, at closing, of the contingent payment due to Sasol. The conditions related to the contingent payment were met and on April 29, 2021, the Company paid the $5.0 million contingent amount to Sasol in accordance with the terms of the SPA.Discontinued Operations - Angola In November 2006, the Company signed a production sharing contract for Block 5 offshore Angola (“Block 5 PSA”). The Company’s working interest was 40%, and the Company carried Sonangol P&P, for 10% of the work program. On September 30, 2016, the Company notified Sonangol P&P that it was withdrawing from the joint operating agreement effective October 31, 2016. On November 30, 2016, the Company notified the national concessionaire, Sonangol E.P., that it was withdrawing from the Block 5 PSA and reduced its activities in Angola. As a result of this strategic shift, the Company classified all the related assets and liabilities as those of discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets. The operating results of the Angola segment have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company segregated the cash flows attributable to the Angola segment from the cash flows from continuing operations for all periods presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. During the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Angola segment did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.
