UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On October 18, 2024 (the “Closing Date’), Deflecto Holdco LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acacia Research Corporation (the “Company” or “Acacia”), acquired Deflecto Acquisition, Inc. (“Deflecto”), pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) entered into on the same day with Deflecto Holdings, LLC and Evriholder Finance LLC (collectively, the “Sellers”), Deflecto and the Sellers’ Representative named therein. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Acacia purchased all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Deflecto, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement (such purchase and sale, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, the “Transaction”). The Transaction had a purchase price of $103.7 million (the “Purchase Price”), subject to customary post-closing adjustment. The Transaction was funded by a combination of Acacia’s cash and borrowings under the term loan. Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, Deflecto is a leading specialty manufacturer of essential products serving the commercial transportation, HVAC, and office markets. The Transaction closed simultaneously with the execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement on October 18, 2024.

As previously reported in the Company’s Form 8-K/A dated July 3, 2024, on April 17, 2024, Benchmark Energy II, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Benchmark”), a majority-owned subsidiary of the Acacia Research Corporation consummated the previously announced transactions contemplated in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated February 16, 2024, by and among Benchmark and Revolution Resources II, LLC, Revolution II NPI Holding Company, LLC, Jones Energy, LLC, Nosley Assets, LLC, Nosley Acquisition, LLC, and Nosley Midstream, LLC (collectively, “Revolution”). The impact of the acquisition of the assets and liabilities of Revolution have been reflected in the pro forma condensed Statement of Operations for the periods ended December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024 as the results are already reflected in the consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2024. The Revolution acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition under Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations. The acquisition of Deflecto and Revolution are collectively referred to as the “Transactions”.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of Acacia and Deflecto, respectively, and reflects (i) the Transactions, which includes the impacts of (a) acquisition of Deflecto by Acacia, (b) the draw down on the term loan to fund the portion of the Purchase Price, and (c) the impact of the previously acquired assets of Revolution, as discussed above. Amounts presented in the “Transaction Adjustments” column reflect the accounting for acquisition of Deflecto by Acacia. Amounts presented in the “Financing Adjustments” column represent additional transactions to issue new debt.

The acquisition of Deflecto is being accounted for as a business combination under Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred as of June 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 and six months ended June 30, 2024 give effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2023.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition of assets method of accounting for assets previously acquired from Revolution and the business combination method of accounting for the acquisition of Deflecto both under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP). The accounting for asset acquisitions is accounted for by using a cost accumulation model, where the cost of the acquisition is allocated to the assets acquired on the basis of relative fair values. The accounting for business combinations is accounted for by using a fair value model, where the assets and liabilities acquired are recorded on the basis of their assumed fair values. The process of valuing the net assets of Deflecto, as well as evaluating accounting policies for conformity, is preliminary in nature and subject to change.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations have been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the following financial statements:

The historical audited consolidated financial statements of Acacia as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023;

The historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of Acacia as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2024;

The historical audited consolidated financial statements of Deflecto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023;

The historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of Deflecto as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2024; and

The historical audited consolidated financial statements of Revolution II WI Holding Company LLC as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and upon assumptions that management believes are reasonable in order to reflect, on a pro forma basis, the effect of the Transactions on the historical financial information of Acacia. The adjustments are described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is included for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should not be relied upon as being indicative of our results of operations or financial condition had the Transactions occurred on the dates assumed. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also does not project our results of operations or financial position for any future period or date, including, but not limited to, the anticipated realization of ongoing savings from potential operating efficiencies, cost savings, or economies of scale that the combined company may achieve with respect to the combined operations. Specifically, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations does not include projected synergies expected to be achieved as a result of the Transactions and any associated costs that may be required to be incurred to achieve the identified synergies. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations also exclude the effects of costs of integration activities that may result from the acquisition.

5. Unaudited Pro Forma Net Income Per Share

Acacia computes unaudited pro forma basic net income per share attributable to common stockholders using the two-class method required for capital structures that include participating securities. Under the two-class method, securities that participate in non-forfeitable dividends, such as the Acacia’s outstanding unvested restricted stock and Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, are considered participating securities and are allocated a portion of the Acacia’s earnings.

Unaudited basic net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing unaudited pro forma net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Unaudited pro forma diluted net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing unaudited pro forma net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding for the period using the treasury stock method or the as-converted method, or the two-class method for participating securities, whichever is more dilutive.
