BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
 
2020
 Acquisitions
 
During the
first
quarter of
2020,
 we completed
two
acquisitions accounted for as business combinations under the provisions of ASC
805.
A summary of the acquisitions is provided below.
 
Billboard Acquisition
 
On
February 26, 2020,
our subsidiary, LMO, acquired certain billboard assets in Nevada from Dean Martin Holding, LLC for a purchase price of 
$1,995,832.
 
 
Broadband Acquisition
 
On
March 10, 2020,
FIF AireBeam, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired substantially all of the business assets of FibAire Communications, LLC, which we refer to as "FibAire", a broadband services provider, as well as other assets used in the business operations owned by entities related to FibAire. Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement, all purchased assets were sold on a debt-free basis to AireBeam. The total purchase price of
$13,712,491
was paid
90%
in cash and the remaining
10%
of the purchase price was paid by issuing to FibAire
10%
of the outstanding equity of AireBeam.
$1,851,186
of the cash proceeds will be held in escrow for a minimum of
one
year from the closing to provide indemnification for certain representations and warranties made by FibAire in the asset purchase agreement. At any time, FibAire has the option, but
not
the obligation, to sell AireBeam its entire ownership interest in AireBeam. AireBeam would be obligated to purchase the units and pay for the purchase over a
three
-year period if FibAire elects to exercise this option. At any time after
December 31, 2023,
AireBeam has the option, but
not
the obligation, to purchase FibAire’s ownership interest in AireBeam, with payment due in full upon exercise of the option. The purchase price for the units under either of these put/call options is based upon a multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and certain other expenses.
 
We are in the process of obtaining a
third
-party valuation of the tangible and intangible assets, and therefore the initial allocation of the purchase price is subject to refinement. The purchase was recorded at fair value and preliminarily allocated as follows:

two
acquisitions of billboards and related assets. These acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations under the provisions of ASC

A summary of the acquisitions is provided below.
 
Billboard Acquisitions
 
Image Outdoor Advertising, Inc.
 
On
August 30, 2019,
our subsidiary, LMSE, acquired from Image Outdoor Advertising, LLC, which we refer to as “Image”,
61
billboard structures and related assets located in West Virginia. The acquisition was completed for the purpose of expanding our presence in the outdoor advertising market in the Southeastern United States. The purchase price consisted of
$6,915,501
 in cash, net of adjustments, and
34,673
 shares of our Class A common stock for a total purchase price of
$7,625,604
 and includes
$398,750
 that was held back by LMSE and will be disbursed, subject to any claims for indemnification, over an
18
month period. Due to the timing of the transaction, the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete.  The provisional purchase price allocation is based on internal information derived from our previous acquisitions in the Southeastern United States. We are still in the process of obtaining and assessing documentation of the contracts for customer relationships and detailed reports for structures and permits.  Our preliminary purchase price allocation related to Image includes property, plant and equipment, intangibles and goodwill of
$1,565,065,
