Contingent Consideration, Key Assumptions for Valuation The Company estimated the likelihood and timing of achieving the relevant thresholds for the Contingent Consideration payments using discounted cash flow projection valuation models. The Company considered two probability weighed models to calculate projected EBITDA performance; (1) Canyons on a standalone basis, and (2) Canyons plus the inclusion of the ski terrain of PCMR (excluding the base area) in the Lease. The models considered the following factors: (i) an estimation of the long-term rate of EBITDA growth at 5.5% after the initial five years of operations; (ii) estimated annual capital expenditures between $10.0 million to $15.0 million in the initial five years of operations, subsequently growing at inflation of 3%; (iii) threshold amount increased by an inflation linked index of 2%; and (iv) a discount rate of 15%.
