Business Combination
Note 8. Business Combination
As discussed in Note 1. Nature of Business, the Closing of the Business Combination occurred on October 2, 2024 pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Upon Closing, 250,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”), par value $0.0001 per share, and 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, were authorized. Of the 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, the Company designated 3,000,000 shares as Series B preferred stock ("Series B Preferred Stock").
As a result of the Business Combination, (a) each Learn CW Class A ordinary share and Class B ordinary share issued and outstanding immediately prior to Closing (and not cancelled or redeemed) was converted into the right to receive one share of Common Stock; (b) each Learn CW public warrant and private placement warrant outstanding immediately prior to Closing was assumed and converted into a Company warrant ("Warrant"); (c) the Innventure LLC equity units (other than the Innventure LLC Class PCTA units ("Class PCTA Units") and Class I units ("Class I Units")) issued and outstanding immediately prior to Closing were converted into the right to receive shares of Common Stock; and (d) the Class PCTA Units and the Class I Units of Innventure LLC remained outstanding.
The Business Combination has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Holdco was determined to be the accounting acquirer as Innventure LLC was determined to be a VIE and Holdco was determined to be the primary beneficiary. In applying the VIE model, the Class I and Class PCTA Units and associated assets and liabilities are considered silos within Innventure LLC for which Holdco is not considered the primary beneficiary; therefore such silos were not acquired and are omitted from the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company recorded all assets acquired and liabilities assumed that Holdco was determined to be the primary beneficiary of at their acquisition date fair values, with any excess recognized as goodwill.
Consideration Transferred
The aggregate consideration for the Business Combination (the “Purchase Consideration”) paid to the holders of Innventure LLC’s outstanding equity and profits interests and warrants, other than the Class PCTA Units and the Class I Units (such holders, the “Innventure Members”), consisted of 43,494,999 shares of Common Stock. A portion of this Purchase Consideration to be delivered to Innventure Members consists of a contingent right to receive up to 5,000,000 (the “Company Earnout Shares”) shares of Common Stock. Refer to Note 10. Earnout Shares for more details on the Company Earnout Shares.
Immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination (including as a result of the conversions described above), there were 43,589,850 shares of Common Stock and 18,645,997 Warrants issued and outstanding. As of the Closing, the Innventure Members owned approximately 88.3% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock and the former shareholders of Learn CW, including (i) Learn CW's sponsor, CWAM LC Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) and (ii) Learn CW's independent directors, owned approximately 13.7% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.
The number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at the Closing of the Business Combination were:

Refer to Note 9. Goodwill and Intangible Assets for additional information.
The Predecessor financial statements for the period from January 1, 2024 to October 1, 2024 include $9.6 million of transaction costs from Innventure LLC. These transaction costs are recorded within General and administrative expenses within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Prior to the Closing Date, Learn CW incurred $9.2 million of transaction costs related to the Business Combination, which are not reported in the Predecessor consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) since Learn CW is not the Predecessor; these transaction costs are included within Accumulated deficit for the Successor period beginning October 2, 2024. Innventure LLC contributed revenues of $0.5 million and net loss of $18.3 million in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the Successor period from October 2, 2024 through December 31, 2024.
Innventure LLC incurred certain acquiree expenses contingent solely upon the consummation of the Business Combination. Such costs consisted of $5.3 million in transaction costs and $0.2 million of expense related to share-based award accelerated vesting. Such costs are presented “on the line” and are not reflected in either Predecessor or Successor financial statement periods. “On the line” describes those expenses triggered by the consummation of a business combination that are not recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as they are not directly attributable to either period but instead were contingent on the Business Combination.
Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)
The following unaudited pro forma financial information summarizes the results of operations for the Company as though the Business Combination had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period.

The unaudited pro forma financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of results of operations that would have been achieved had the Business Combination taken place on the date indicated, or the future consolidated results of operations of the Company.
The unaudited pro forma results reflect the step-up amortization adjustments for the fair value of intangible assets acquired, transaction expenses, public warrant reclass from liabilities to equity, removal of Learn CW investment income, and accelerated vesting of equity-based compensation. The amounts of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $1.2 million. The amount of net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $106.0 million.
