UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The following supplemental pro forma information of Sequential Brands Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is presented for informational purposes only, as an aid to understanding the entities’ combined financial results. This unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should not be considered a substitute for the historical financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), as presented in the Company’s filings on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information disclosed in this report is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of results of operations that would have been achieved had the pro forma events taken place on the dates indicated, or of the Company’s future consolidated results of operations.

 

On April 1, 2015, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “JS Purchase Agreement”) with With You, Inc., a California corporation (“WYI”), Corny Dog, Inc., a California corporation (“Corny Dog” and, together with WYI, the “Sellers”), With You LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“NewCo”), and Jessica Simpson, in her capacity as the sole stockholder of each of the Sellers. NewCo owns all assets related to (i) the worldwide business of creating, designing, developing, manufacturing, marketing, selling and licensing all consumer related lifestyle products, including, but not limited to, all categories within the fashion, home, beauty, personal care, baby, crafts, pets, holiday, seasonal, bridal, celebrations, travel, floral and food industry segments, with certain exclusions, of the Jessica Simpson® brand, (ii) the exploitation of intellectual property and related rights associated with the celebrity and personality rights, subject to certain exceptions, of Jessica Simpson and (iii) all lines of business reasonably related or ancillary thereto (including the establishment and operation of retail stores).

 

On April 8, 2015, the transactions contemplated by the JS Purchase Agreement were consummated. Pursuant to the terms of the JS Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased membership interests in NewCo for an aggregate purchase price consisting of (a) $117.5 million in cash and (b) 97,087 shares of the Company’s common stock. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the JS Purchase Agreement, the Company owns 62.5% of the outstanding membership interests in NewCo and WYI owns 37.5% of the outstanding membership interests in NewCo. In connection with the JS Purchase Agreement, the Company and WYI entered into an operating agreement for NewCo, pursuant to which the Company and WYI agreed to certain rights and obligations with respect to the governance of NewCo.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the preliminary information available and management’s preliminary valuation of the fair values of intangible assets acquired at the acquisition date. A final determination of these estimated fair values will be made in due course. The finalization of the Company’s purchase accounting assessment may result in changes to the valuation of assets acquired, particularly in regards to infinite and finite-lived intangible assets, which could be material.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are derived from and should be read in conjunction with historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company, which are included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended March 31, 2015, as previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and of the Sellers, which are filed as Exhibit 99.2 of the Current Report on Form 8- K/A to which this is an exhibit. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2015, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the three months ended March 31, 2015, are presented herein.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements presented are based on the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2015, gives effect to the preliminary purchase price allocation of approximately $120.5 million, based upon payment of cash of $119.3 million and approximately $1.2 million of equity utilizing the closing stock price of $13.34 on April 8, 2015. Please refer to the Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation table below for the preliminary allocation of the purchase price. In addition, transaction costs of $2.5 million representing legal, accounting and other costs incurred during the transaction are included in retained earnings. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014, gives effect to amortization of the value assigned to the acquired licensing contracts, incremental interest expense related to the incremental financing required and non-controlling interest to the Sellers. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015, gives effect to amortization of the value assigned to the acquired licensing contracts, incremental interest expense related to the incremental financing required and non-controlling interest to the Sellers.
