The acquisition method of accounting is based on FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and uses the fair value concepts defined in FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 805 requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date including an amount for goodwill calculated as the difference between the acquisition consideration and the fair value of the identifiable net assets. The purchase price was allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The total purchase price consideration and its final allocation for SK Intermediate was as follows (in thousands):

(1)Refer to the LaderaTech Acquisition. (2)Of the total goodwill amount herein, $871.4 million has been allocated to Fire Safety segment and $174.5 million has been allocated to Specialty Products segment. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price for the SK Intermediate acquisition has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The fair value estimates were based on, but not limited to quoted market prices, where available; expected future cash flows based on estimated growth in sales for the Company’s products; estimated costs to develop, procure, produce and deliver its products; current replacement cost for similar capacity for certain fixed assets; market rate assumptions for contractual obligations and appropriate discount rates and growth rates. The excess of the total consideration over the estimated fair value of the amounts initially assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is primarily related to extensive industry expertise and continuing innovation at SK Intermediate, resulting in sales growth from future products and service offerings as well as new customers, together with certain intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, EverArc entered into an escrow agreement with SK Holdings and Wilmington Trust, N.A., a national banking association, as escrow agent, which provided that approximately $7.6 million of the cash consideration payable pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement be held in escrow pending a determination of the post-Closing purchase price adjustments under the Business Combination Agreement. During 2022, the post-Closing purchase price adjustments under the Business Combination Agreement were finalized. Approximately $7.6 million held in escrow was released and an additional $2.4 million related to the difference in estimated and actual working capital as of the Closing Date was recognized with $1.6 million paid to SK Holdings and $0.8 million of uncollectable accounts and notes receivable were written-off. Transaction costs associated with the Business Combination were $59.5 million. Of this amount, $56.4 million was incurred by EverArc through the Closing Date and is included in accumulated deficit as of November 9, 2021 in the accompanying consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity and the remaining $3.1 million was reflected in the 2021 Predecessor Period in other operating expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Under the equity purchase agreement, the fair value of the consideration transferred was $21.8 million, which included an initial cash payment of $2.0 million and $19.8 million in estimated fair value of contingent future payments.
