NOTE 5 – BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

Tangent: Effective December 31, 2021, Transcat purchased all of the outstanding membership units of Tangent Labs, LLC, a privately-held company (“Tangent”). Tangent provides in-house and on-site calibrations of precision measurement and control instrumentation to customers in the life science, aerospace and other regulated industries, and has lab locations in Indianapolis, Indiana and Huntsville, Alabama. This transaction aligned with a key component of the Company’s strategy of acquiring local capabilities in attractive geographies.

The purchase price for Tangent was approximately $9.0 million, all paid in cash, and is subject to certain customary holdback provisions and a portion of which was placed in escrow to secure the sellers’ obligations in the event that a key employee terminates employment with Tangent on or before the first anniversary of the closing of the transaction.

The purchase price allocation has not been finalized, due to the timing of the acquisition date and the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including values to be recognized for goodwill and other intangible assets, will be disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending March 26, 2022. The pro forma results of operations from the Tangent acquisition, will be disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending March 26, 2022. The goodwill related to Tangent is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. All of the goodwill and intangible assets relating to the Tangent acquisition will be allocated to the Service segment.

NEXA: Effective August 31, 2021, Transcat purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Cal OpEx Limited (d/b/a NEXA Enterprise Asset Management), a private Irish company, which owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of its U.S.-based subsidiary, Cal OpEx Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively, “NEXA”). NEXA provides calibration optimization and other technical solutions to improve asset and reliability management programs to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies worldwide. This transaction aligned with a key component of the Company’s acquisition strategy of targeting businesses that expand the depth and breadth of the Company’s Service capabilities.

The NEXA goodwill is primarily attributable to the workforce acquired, as well as operational synergies and other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition. All of the goodwill and intangible assets relating to the NEXA acquisition has been allocated to the Service segment. Intangible assets related to the NEXA acquisition are being amortized for financial reporting purposes on an accelerated basis over the estimated useful life of up to five years and are deductible for tax purposes.

The total purchase price for NEXA was approximately $26.2 million and was paid with $23.9 million in cash and the issuance of 34,943 shares of our common stock valued at $2.4 million. Additionally, there are potential earn-out payments of up to $7.5 million over the four-year period following the closing of the transaction based upon NEXA achieving certain annual revenue and EBITDA goals. If achieved, the earn-out payments will also be made in shares of common stock unless certain criteria is met for cash payment. As of December 25, 2021, the estimated fair value for the contingent earn-out payments was $0.2 million and included in the preliminary purchase price allocation below. $0.1 million of the purchase price has been put into escrow as a holdback for indemnification claims, if any.

The purchase price allocation is subject to revision based upon our final review of intangible asset valuation assumptions, working capital adjustments and true-up of the fair value of the contingent consideration, assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
