The Excell Canada Acquisition was completed pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated December 13, 2021 (the “Excell Canada Acquisition Agreement”) by and among 1336889 B.C. Unlimited Liability Company, Mark Kroeker, Randolph Peters, Brian Larsen, M. & W.

(the “Excell USA Sellers”, and together with the Excell Canada Sellers, the “Sellers”), Mark Kroeker in his capacity as the Excell USA Sellers’ Representative, and 656700 B.C. LTD. The Excell Acquisition Agreements contain customary terms and conditions including representations, warranties and indemnification provisions. A portion of the consideration paid to the Sellers was held in escrow for indemnification purposes for a period of twelve months from the closing date. The remaining indemnification escrow amount is to be held for a period of sixteen months from the closing date. The Excell Acquisition was funded by the Company through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Amended Credit Facilities (Note 3). The Excell Acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the accounting treatment of a business combination pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the separately identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill. Management is responsible for determining the acquisition date fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which requires the use of various assumptions and judgments that are inherently subjective. The purchase price allocation presented below reflects all known information about the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.

The purchase price allocation was adjusted during the year ended December 31, 2022 to reflect a change in the estimated fair value of certain other intangible assets acquired. The measurement period adjustment resulted in a $40 increase in other intangible assets acquired, a $10 increase in deferred tax liabilities and a $30 decrease to goodwill. The adjusted purchase price allocation is reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. The goodwill included in the Company’s purchase price allocation presented above represents the value of Excell’s assembled and trained workforce, the incremental value that Excell engineering and technology will bring to the Company and the revenue growth which is expected to occur over time which is attributable to increased market penetration from future new products and customers. The goodwill acquired in connection with the acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes. Other intangible assets were valued using the income approach which requires a forecast of all expected future cash flows and the use of certain assumptions and estimates. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value and annual amortization for each of the identifiable intangible assets acquired.
