UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED DATA

 

The following tables present the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated data of GWG, after giving effect to the Initial Transfer assuming it had occurred on January 1, 2017. This unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated data was prepared using the equity method of accounting. GWG has determined that the equity method is appropriate because GWG’s ownership of Beneficient exceeds the applicable minimum threshold but GWG does not meet the control provision requiring consolidation (in each case, as determined under applicable accounting principles). Under this method, GWG will initially record, at cost, its investment in Beneficient as an asset. Thereafter, GWG’s proportionate share of Beneficient’s earnings attributable to common unitholders, and any distributions therefrom, will be reflected in the carrying value of GWG’s investment in Beneficient. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated data is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of GWG after giving effect to the completion of the Initial Transfer and the assumptions and adjustments described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated data below. The unaudited pro forma adjustments, which GWG believes are reasonable under the circumstances, have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated data. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are preliminary and based upon available information and certain assumptions described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated data.

 

The information presented below should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of GWG filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated data is presented solely for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that might have been achieved had the Initial Transfer been completed as of January 1, 2017, nor is it meant to be indicative of any anticipated future financial position or results of operations that GWG will experience after the Initial Transfer.

Notes for Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations:

 

1a) Equity in net earnings of investee

 

Description of pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for The Beneficient Company Group, L.P.

 

The Beneficient Company Group, L.P. (along with its subsidiaries, collectively “Beneficient”) is a holding company of capital and financial services companies. Beneficient commenced its commercial operations on September 1, 2017, on and after which the company and MHT Financial, L.L.C. (“MHT Financial”) consummated agreements to finance the economic rights to several portfolios of alternative assets (collectively, the “Formation Transactions”). The primary closing condition of those agreements consisted of MHT Financial entering into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with owners of alternative asset funds (family offices, fund-of-funds, and institutions, collectively the “Sellers”) for the acquisition of a portfolio of alternative assets (“Exchange Portfolio”) and the subsequent contribution of the Exchange Portfolio by MHT Financial to certain exchange trusts (“Exchange Trusts”) in exchange for common units of Beneficient of a like value.

 

Through the Formation Transactions described above, a third party institutional investor held an indirect interest in all or substantially all of the outstanding common units of Beneficient through the Exchange Trusts. On May 31, 2018, the limited liability company agreement of Beneficient Management, L.L.C. (“BMLLC”), a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of Beneficient, was amended and certain proxies were granted that reduced certain rights of Beneficient’s founder, including removing the right to appoint a majority of the board of directors, finalizing a change-of-control event. Beneficient applied pushdown accounting under ASC 805-50-25-8 due to the acquisition of BMLLC.

 

The unaudited pro forma information of Beneficient is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been reported if such Formation Transactions and Initial Transfer had been completed as presented in the unaudited pro forma information of Beneficient, nor is it necessarily indicative of Beneficient’s future results of operations. The pro forma adjustments and the assumptions on which they are based are described in the accompanying notes.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations of Beneficient is based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto of Beneficient as of June 1, 2018 and for the five months ended May 31, 2018, and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

The following table sets forth summary unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations of Beneficient for the period indicated. As of September 1, 2017, Beneficient’s initial Formation Transaction closed. Beneficient had no significant continuing operations prior to September 1, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations of Beneficient assumes the Formation Transactions closed and the Initial Transfer occurred on January 1, 2017.

Notes to unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations of Beneficient for the six months ended June 30, 2018

 

(a)Pro forma interest expense adjustment totaling $15,010,505 is assumed for the six months ended June 30, 2018, consisting of: 1) a pro forma interest expense adjustment of $5,000,000, calculated using the 5.0% rate defined in the Commercial Loan Agreement entered into on August 10, 2018, and 2) a pro forma interest expense adjustment of $10,100,505, calculated using the 12.4% rate defined in the Exchangeable Note entered into on August 10, 2018.

 

(b)Non-interest expenses include a pro forma adjustment for amortization of certain intangibles. Amortization expense adjustments are $2,686,245 for the five months ended May 31, 2018. Amortization for the month of June 2018 is recorded within the actual results.

 

(c)Non-interest expenses include a pro forma adjustment to eliminate $8,333,517 of Beneficient’s transaction costs in connection with the Formation Transactions and the change-of-control event for BMLLC resulting in Beneficient applying pushdown accounting.

 

(d)Non-interest expenses include a pro forma adjustment to eliminate $845,427 of Beneficient’s transaction costs in connection with the execution of the Master Agreement.
   
 (e)

In connection with the Transaction, Beneficient has provided to GWG a non-binding letter of intent to amend the governing documents to implement a limit on the quarterly preferred return to be paid to NPC-A unitholders, subject to certain conditions, including consent of all NPC-A unitholders and the Final Closing under the Master Agreement. The limitation would be based on the annualized sum of: (1) total interest, fee, and dividend income and (2) total non-interest revenues (“Total Revenue”) and would be assessed on a quarter-by-quarter basis. The lowest limitation of 1% would be applied at an annualized Total Revenue less than or equal to $80 million, and the limitation increases by 1% based on certain bands, up to 5% for annualized Total Revenue less than or equal to $140 million, at which point the limitation would be lifted. The assumed rate for the period presented based on the application of this limitation is 3%.  The actual rate for such period, without giving effect to this limitation, was 7.8%.

 

1b) Pro forma adjustment for interest income on $200 million Commercial Loan with Beneficient under the Commercial Loan Agreement entered into August 10, 2018. The Commercial Loan has an annual interest rate of 5.0%.

 

1c) Pro forma adjustment for interest income on $162.9 million Exchangeable Note with Beneficient issued in the Initial Transfer. The Exchangeable Note has an annual interest rate of 12.4%.

 

1d) Pro forma adjustment for interest expense on $403.2 million L Bonds issued to Seller Trusts in connection with GWG’s investment in Beneficient. The Seller Trust L Bonds have an annual interest rate of 7.5%

 

1e) Effects of investment transactions reflected at GWG’s gross tax rate of 28.74% for 2018. For clarity of presentation, GWG did not attempt to reflect the potential pro forma impact of a corresponding valuation allowance adjustment.

The Beneficient Company Group, L.P. (along with its subsidiaries, collectively “Beneficient”) is a holding company of capital and financial services companies. Beneficient commenced its commercial operations on September 1, 2017, on and after which the company and MHT Financial, L.L.C.
