Subsequent Events
 
Purchase of Tealstone
 
On
April
3,
2017,
the Company consummated the acquisition of
100%
of the outstanding stock of Tealstone Residential Concrete, Inc. and Tealstone Commercial, Inc. (collectively, “
Tealstone
”) from the stockholders thereof (the “Sellers”) for consideration consisting of
$55,000,000
in cash (less debt outstanding on the closing date and costs incurred by the Sellers and Tealstone in connection with the transaction),
1,882,058
shares of the Company’s common stock (the “
Placement Shares
”), and
$5,000,000
of promissory notes issued to the Sellers. In addition, the Company will make
$2,500,000
and
$7,500,000
of deferred cash payments on the
second
and
third
anniversaries of the closing date, respectively, and up to an aggregate of
$15,000,000
in earn-out payments
may
be made on the
first,
second,
third
and
fourth
anniversaries of the closing date to continuing Tealstone management or their affiliates if specified financial performance levels are achieved. Tealstone focuses on concrete construction of residential foundations, parking structures, elevated slabs and other concrete work for leading homebuilders, multi-family developers and general contractors in both residential and commercial markets.
 
The preliminary acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled
$83.7
million, which consisted of the following:
 
Fair value of consideration transferred (amounts in thousands):
 
Cash   $
55,000
 
Common stock (1,882,058 shares)    
17,100
 
Promissory notes    
4,400
 
Deferred payments    
7,200
 
Total   $
83,700
 
 
The fair value of the
1,882,058
common shares issued was determined based on the average market price of the Company’s common shares on the acquisition date.
 
The promissory notes and deferred payments have been discounted using a preliminary
12%
fair value discount rate. The earn-out arrangement requires the Company to pay up to an aggregate of
$15,000,000
in earn-out payments on the
first,
second,
third
and
fourth
anniversaries of the closing date to continuing Tealstone management or their affiliates if specified financial performance levels are achieved. The Company’s preliminary analysis indicates that the compensation is tied to the continuing employment of certain key employees and executives of Tealstone and will be treated as additional compensation and not as additional contingent consideration.
 
The Company is in the process of estimating the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date and obtaining
third
-party valuations of certain intangible assets. Additionally, the Company is in the process of compiling the pro forma financial information required.
