Business Acquisitions | 18. Business Acquisitions ​ Telerob Acquisition ​ On May 3, 2021, the Company closed its acquisition of Telerob pursuant to the terms of the Telerob Purchase Agreement. Telerob develops, manufactures, sells, and services remote-controlled unmanned ground robots and transport vehicles for civil and defense applications. ​ Pursuant to the Telerob Purchase Agreement at closing, the Company paid €37,455,000 (approximately $45,400,000) in cash to the Telerob Seller (subject to certain purchase price adjustments as set forth in the Telerob Purchase Agreement), less (a) €3,000,000 (approximately $3,636,000) to be held in escrow for breaches of the Telerob Seller’s fundamental warranties or any other of Telerob Seller’s warranties to the extent not covered by a representation and warranty insurance policy (the “RWI Policy”) obtained by the Company in support of certain indemnifications provided by the Telerob Seller; (b) transaction-related fees and costs incurred by the Telerob Seller, including change in control payments triggered by the transaction; and (c) 50% of the cost of obtaining the RWI Policy. In addition, at closing the Company paid off approximately €7,811,000 (approximately $9,468,000), of certain indebtedness of Telerob, which amount was paid in combination to the Telerob Seller and the lender under an agreement between Telerob GmbH and the lender providing for a reduced payoff amount. This indebtedness was offset by cash on hand at Telerob at closing. The escrow amount is to be released to the Telerob Seller, less any amounts paid or reserved, 30 months following the closing date. ​ In addition to the consideration paid at closing, the Telerob Seller may receive €2,000,000 (approximately $2,424,000) in additional cash consideration if specific revenue targets for Telerob are achieved during the 12 month period after closing beginning on the first day of the calendar month following the closing (the “First Earnout Year”) and an additional €2,000,000 (approximately $2,424,000) in cash consideration if specific revenue targets for Telerob are achieved in the 12 month period following the First Earnout Year. The Telerob Seller may also receive up to €2,000,000 (approximately $2,424,000) in additional cash consideration if specific awards and/or orders from the U.S. military are achieved prior to the end of a 36-month post-closing period. ​ The following table summarizes the provisional allocation of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Telerob (in thousands):

​ Determining the fair value of the intangible assets acquired requires significant judgment, including the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, long-term growth rates and discount rates. The fair value of the intangibles assets was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, which were based on the Company’s best estimate of future sales, earnings and cash flows after considering such factors as general market conditions, anticipated customer demand, changes in working capital, long term business plans and recent operating performance. Use of different estimates and judgments could yield materially different results. ​ The goodwill is attributable to the synergies the Company expects to achieve through leveraging the acquired technology to its existing customers, the workforce of Telerob and expected future customers in the UGV market. For tax purposes the acquisition was treated as a stock purchase and the goodwill is not deductible. ​ Supplemental Pro Forma Information (unaudited) ​ The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information of the Company as if the business acquisition had occurred on May 1, 2020 (in thousands): ​

​ The Company did not have any material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business acquisition included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ​ These pro forma amounts have been calculated by applying the Company’s accounting policies, assuming transaction costs had been incurred during the three months ended August 1, 2020, reflecting the additional amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to intangible assets had been applied from May 1, 2020 with the consequential tax effects and including the results of Telerob prior to acquisition. ​ The Company incurred approximately $411,000 of acquisition-related expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2021. These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative on the Company’s unaudited consolidated statement of operations. ​ The unaudited pro forma supplemental information is based on estimates and assumptions, which the Company believes are reasonable and are not necessarily indicative of the results that have been realized had the acquisitions been consolidated in the tables above as of May 1, 2020, nor are they indicative of results of operations that may occur in the future. ​ Arcturus Acquisition ​ On February 19, 2021, the Company closed its acquisition of Arcturus pursuant to the terms of the Arcturus Purchase Agreement. Arcturus, headquartered in Petaluma, California, designs, engineers, tools, and manufactures unmanned aerial and aircraft systems including airborne platforms, payloads and payload integration, ground control systems, and ground support equipment and other items and services related generally to unmanned aircraft systems. ​ Pursuant to the Arcturus Purchase Agreement at the closing of the Arcturus Acquisition, the Company paid approximately $422,602,000, net of cash acquired (subject to certain customary adjustments and escrow arrangements set forth in the Arcturus Purchase Agreement), financed with a combination of approximately $150,218,000 of cash-on-hand, $200,000,000 of financing pursuant to the Term Loan Facility and the issuance of approximately $72,384,000 of unregistered, restricted shares of common stock. As specified in the Arcturus Purchase agreement, the number of shares issued was determined based on a value of $50,000,000 and a calculated average price as of the last business day prior to execution of the Arcturus Purchase Agreement. ​ The final cash consideration is subject to certain customary adjustments, including for net working capital, cash, debt and unpaid transaction expenses (including change in control related payments triggered by the transaction) of Arcturus at the Arcturus closing, less $6,500,000 to be held in escrow to address final purchase price adjustments post-Arcturus closing, if any (the “Adjustment Escrow”), and $1,822,500 to be held in escrow to address Arcturus’s and/or the Sellers’ indemnification obligations (the “Indemnification Escrow”). During the three months ended July 31, 2021, the Adjustment Escrow of $6,500,000, less $509,000 of post-closing adjustments, was released to the Arcturus Sellers. To further address potential breaches of Arcturus’s and the Sellers’ representations and warranties beyond the application of the Indemnification Escrow, the Company also obtained representation and warranty insurance policies providing $40,000,000 in coverage, subject to customary terms, exclusions and retention amounts. ​ The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Arcturus (in thousands): ​
