December 16, 2020 Acquisition of BurgerFi International, LLC

On December 16, 2020, the Company consummated the Business Combination. This acquisition qualified as a business combination under ASC 805. Accordingly, the Company recorded all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values, with any excess recognized as goodwill.     

The aggregate value of the consideration paid by OPES in the Business Combination was approximately $236.9 million.

Total consideration of $236,887,000 is represented in the above table for the acquisition of BurgerFi.  The total consideration includes a) a cash payment of $30,000,000, b) the issuance of 6,603,773 common stock shares valued at approximately $103,680,000, c) contingent earnout consideration (Contingent Consideration) valued at approximately $103,207,000.

Contingent Consideration

The members of BurgerFi may be entitled to an additional 9,356,459 shares of Successor common stock if certain stock price targets are met by the Successor Company following the Business Combination (“Earnout Share Consideration”) on a pro-rata basis based on their pre-closing ownership percentages in BurgerFi International, LLC,

subject to the Company achieving certain share price targets in each of the following post-Closing periods (each an “Earnout Tranche”), as follows:

 The fair values of the Contingent Consideration were determined using the trading price of the Company’s common stock at Closing Date and using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The contingent consideration is assessed to be non-compensatory and recorded in additional paid-in capital as reflected in the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ / members’ equity.

The input variables are noted in the table below:

The Monte Carlo simulation model utilized multiple input variables to estimate the probability that the stock price targets will be achieved. Based on the features of the earnout, a Monte-Carlo Simulation was used to value the Contingent Consideration. The traded price of the common stock was simulated in each trial using Geometric Brownian Motion, and the simulated path was then analyzed to determine which, if any, earnout tranches would be payable within the given trial. The estimated payments were calculated by multiplying the shares earned for a given tranche by the simulated price as of the date that the earnout tranche was earned. The result was present valued using the risk-free rate. The average of all trials resulted in the valuation conclusion, which was determined to be approximately $ 103,207,000.

The following table is preliminary and represents the allocation of consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition-date fair values.

The assessment of fair value is preliminary and is based on information that was available to management and through the end of the fiscal year. If additional information of events or circumstances that existed at the acquisition date becomes available to management related to assets acquired or liabilities assumed subsequent to this preliminary assessment of fair value but not later than one year after the date of the acquisition, measurement period adjustments will be recorded in the period in which they are determined, as if they had been completed at the acquisition date.

Goodwill is recognized as the excess of consideration over the net assets acquired of BurgerFi and represents the value derived by BurgerFi’s market share and expected growth in the market.

Acquired personal property assets consist of leasehold improvements, kitchen equipment, and restaurant furniture and fixtures, computer and point of sale systems, audio and video equipment (“Personal Property”), which were valued on in-use basis. The Company enlisted a third-party consultant to assist in the valuation of the Personal Property (the “Valuation”).

Identifiable intangible assets acquired consist of customer relationships of franchise agreements, Tradenames and trademarks, Liquor licenses, Reef Kitchens license agreements and the VegeFi product. The above were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method.  

Identifiable intangible assets acquired consist of customer relationships of $24,839,000, trade names of $83,033,000 and Reef Kitchens license agreements of $8,882,000. The customer relationships were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method. The Company determined the useful life of the customer relationships to be 7 years. This is based on the average remaining terms of our franchise agreements with our franchisees. The trade names were valued using the relief-from-royalty method. The Company determined the useful life of the trade names to be 30 years. The Reef Kitchens license agreements and the customer relationships were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method. The Company determined the useful life of the Reef Kitchens license agreements to be 10 years. The identifiable intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their respective useful lives.

The accounting for this Business Combination is considered provisional because we have not finalized certain aspects of the purchase price allocation including the valuation of certain acquired customer-related intangible assets.
