Medtech Concepts LLC

On May 1, 2023, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding membership interest of Medtech Concepts LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MedTech”). MedTech has developed an early-stage, pre-commercial enabling technology platform designed to increase efficiency in the perioperative environment. The solution combines hardware, software, and data analytics to help streamline operative care and support better decision making in the operating room. In the future, the Company believes this enabling technology platform will provide valuable intraoperative resources for surgeons that will improve decision making, drive operating room efficiency, and ultimately improve healthcare for children. The Company also expects that the acquisition will further support future market share gains for its implant systems, similar to what the Company has experienced with the FIREFLY® Technology and the 7D Surgical FLASHTM Navigation platform. The Company does not anticipate material revenue contributions from the platform in 2023.

The sellers of MedTech are being paid a purchase price of approximately $15,274 in the following manner: (i) cash in the aggregate amount of $3,000 was paid on May 1, 2023, the transaction closing date (the “Closing Date”); (ii) 43,751 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00025 per share, representing approximately $2,274 (based on a closing share price of $51.98 on May 1, 2023), were issued on the Closing Date; and (iii) an aggregate of $2,500 payable 50% in cash and 50% in shares of unregistered common stock, will be paid on each of the first four anniversaries of the Closing Date, all subject to the conditions set forth in the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), as amended, relating to the transaction.

The Company concluded that the business acquired did not comprise an integrated set of activities that meet the definition of a business and therefore did not result in the acquisition of a business. Instead, the Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition for accounting purposes.

Under the Purchase Agreement, a number of future payments in the form of common stock are contingent on continued service through each applicable payment anniversary date. As such, these amounts have been excluded from measuring the cost of the acquisition. The result is $4,500 of stock compensation which will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the four year service period. Future cash payments and stock issuances that are not contingent on continuous service are included in the calculation of consideration. The total consideration is $10,043 after discounting the future guaranteed fixed payments
to their present value. Additionally, since this was treated as an asset acquisition, the Company included $97 of transaction costs in the total consideration. The table below reconciles the payments and issuances to total consideration transferred after discounting the future payments to present value.

Anniversary payments5,500 4,672 
Transaction costs97 97 
Total consideration transferred$10,871 $10,043 

As result of this asset acquisition, the Company recorded a trademark asset in the amount of $520 with an indefinite useful life and an intellectual property asset relating to software acquired of $9,523 which will be amortized over a useful life of ten years.

Kevin Unger, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) through April 28, 2023, was one of the sellers in the transaction. As a result, the Board formed a special committee comprised of independent and disinterested directors (the “Special Committee”) with the exclusive authority to review, evaluate, and negotiate, or reject, the potential MedTech acquisition. The Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by both the Special Committee and the full Board (with Mr. Unger abstaining).

Pega Medical

On July 1, 2022, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Pega Medical Inc., a corporation incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“Pega Medical”). Pega Medical has developed and sells a portfolio of trauma and deformity correction devices for children, including the Fassier-Duval Telescopic Intramedullary System, a well-recognized, innovative implant designed to treat bone deformities in children with osteogenesis imperfecta without disrupting their normal growth. Pega's product portfolio increases our total systems and increases the percentage of total trauma and deformity cases we can treat.

The Company acquired Pega Medical for approximately $32,045, comprised of $32,042 in cash and $3 in stock, representing the repurchase right price to be paid by the Company in the event a selling shareholder leaves employment with Pega Medical for certain reasons during the three-year period following the closing. Approximately $1,052 of the cash consideration was deposited into escrow and will be held for a period of up to eighteen (18) months to cover certain indemnification obligations of the selling shareholders of Pega Medical. Final purchase consideration is subject to certain working capital adjustments yet to be finalized. Additionally, 34,899 shares of unregistered common stock, $0.00025 par value per share, of the Company, representing approximately $1,497 (based on the July 1, 2022 closing share price of $42.90) were issued to the selling shareholders. The common stock issued to the selling shareholders, excluding the value attributable to the repurchase right, is not considered part of the purchase consideration and is subject to a repurchase right previously mentioned. The Company will recognize expense over the three-year service period at which point the right to repurchase will expire. In the event the repurchase right is triggered, the Company will have the right to repurchase the shares of common stock issued to such selling shareholder at a price of $0.10 per share. As of June 30, 2023, 23,266 of these shares were still subject to the repurchase feature. Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, the Company also issued $499 in restricted stock units to employees of Pega Medical, which are subject to an approximate three-year vesting schedule. The restricted stock units are not considered part of the purchase consideration.
The following table summarizes the total consideration paid for Pega Medical and the preliminary allocation of purchase price to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

The fair value of identifiable intangible assets was based on valuations using a combination of the income and cost approach, inputs which would be considered Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value and useful life of identifiable intangible assets are as follows:

AmountRemaining Economic Useful Life
Trademarks / Names$3,878 Indefinite
Patents3,545 10 years
Customer Relationships & Other 8,741 15 years
$16,164 

The fair value estimates and purchase price allocation included above are preliminary while the Company finalizes certain working capital components. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments. The adjustments were primarily the result of updated valuations of the intangible assets and updated estimates of certain liabilities and assets. The adjustment to the intangible assets also resulted in an adjustment to the deferred tax liability. Additionally, the increase in the value of intangible assets resulted in additional amortization expense of approximately $101 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Goodwill declined as a net result of these adjustments.

MD Orthopaedics

On April 1, 2022, OrthoPediatrics Iowa Holdco, Inc., a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, merged with and into MD Orthopaedics, Inc., an Iowa corporation (“MD Ortho”). MD Ortho has developed and manufactures a portfolio of orthopedic clubfoot products. The acquisition expands our total addressable market, serving as a specialty bracing platform company within our Trauma and Deformity business.
Under the terms of the related merger agreement, the Company paid to the indirect, sole shareholder of MD Ortho consideration of (a) $8,781 in cash, after adjusting for closing net working capital, and (b) 173,241 shares of unregistered common stock, $0.00025 par value per share, of the Company, representing approximately $9,707 (based on the April 1, 2022 closing share price of $56.03).

The following table summarizes the total consideration paid for MD Ortho and the final allocation of purchase price to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:
