NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Note 1 - Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been prepared to give effect to the acquisition as if the transaction had occurred as of June 30, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income has been prepared to give effect to the acquisition as if the transaction had occurred as of January 1, 2025. The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the acquisition, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the condensed combined income statement, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Management used estimates and assumptions, with the assistance of independent valuation specialists, to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired. The determination of consideration paid and allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on preliminary estimates of fair value. The purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary until contractual post-closing working capital adjustments, estimates, and assumptions are finalized, including the final independent valuation report. The final determination of the purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is required to be completed within twelve months of the acquisition date.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial position had the acquisition been consummated during the period presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the combined entities.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any integration activities or savings from operating efficiencies or synergies that could result from the acquisition.
Note 2 - Preliminary Purchase Consideration and Allocation
On July 1, 2025 (“Acquisition Date”), Forge Global, Inc. (the “Company”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Forge Global Holdings, Inc. (“Forge”), acquired certain assets associated with Accuidity, LLC (“Accuidity”), a specialized asset management firm focused on private market investing via a family of institutional index funds, single issuer investment funds, and early-stage venture funds, for total purchase consideration of $31.2 million. The purchase consideration consisted of $10.0 million in cash, 1,150,000 shares of newly issued shares of Parent common stock (NYSE:FRGE), a portion of which are subject to forfeiture and transfer restrictions, contingent consideration of $6.0 million and net working capital adjustments.
The following table summarizes the components of the purchase consideration transferred based on the closing price of $18.70 per share of common stock on the Acquisition Date (in thousands):
| | | | | |
Cash | $ | 10,000 | |
Common stock (1,150,000 shares at $18.70 per share) | 21,505 | |
Contingent consideration | 6,023 | |
| 37,528 | |
Less: post-combination share-based compensation (327,791 shares at $18.70 per share) | (6,130) | |
Less: Adjusted working capital acquired | (223) | |
Purchase consideration | $ | 31,175 | |
The post-combination share-based compensation is subject to continuous employment and will be recognized as share-based compensation over the required service period of up to three years. The incremental compensation expense is reflected as an adjustment to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income (see Note 2 - Pro Forma Adjustments).
The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values on the Acquisition Date and the related estimated useful lives of the finite-lived intangible assets acquired (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Preliminary estimated useful life |
Assets Acquired | | | |
| Cash | $ | 404 | | | |
Other current assets | 43 | | | |
| Finite-lived intangible assets: | | | |
| Investment management contracts | 1,800 | | | 10 years |
| Customer relationships | 2,800 | | | 4 years |
| Investment strategies | 1,600 | | | 10 years |
| Trade name portfolio | 450 | | | 10 years |
Total Assets Acquired | $ | 7,097 | | | |
Liabilities Assumed | | | |
Current liabilities | $ | 266 | | | |
Total Liabilities Assumed | $ | 266 | | | |
| | | |
Net Assets Acquired | $ | 6,831 | | | |
Goodwill | 24,344 | | | |
Total | $ | 31,175 | | | |
We believe the amount of goodwill resulting from the allocation of purchase consideration is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and expected synergies of the business combination. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. In accordance with ASC 805, goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment at least annually and more frequently if certain indicators of impairment are present.
Upon completion of the fair value assessment, the final purchase price allocation may differ from the preliminary assessment outlined above. Changes to the preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities and any residual amount will be allocated to goodwill.
