Description of the Transactions

 

On August 10, 2020, the Company entered into the merger agreement. As a result of the Merger, the redeemable convertible preferred stock of Legacy CuriosityStream was converted into common shares of Legacy CuriosityStream and then each issued and outstanding share of Legacy CuriosityStream was exchanged for newly issued shares of Common Stock. In connection with the Merger, there was also a PIPE Investment of $25 million into the Company. In addition, in connection with the Merger, approximately 711,000 warrants to purchase Common Stock held by the Sponsor were forfeited, and in connection with such forfeiture and pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, certain employees of the Company are expected to receive fully vested options exercisable for shares of Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan and certain other conditions, as set forth in the merger agreement.

 

 

 

Accounting for the Merger

 

For purposes of the pro forma combined financial statements, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. Under this method of accounting, the Company, who was the legal acquirer in the Merger, was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes and Legacy CuriosityStream was treated as the accounting acquirer. This determination was primarily based on the following:

  

	●	Legacy CuriosityStream stockholders have a majority of the voting power of the post-combination company,
	●	Legacy CuriosityStream’s senior management comprises substantially all of the senior management of the post-combination company,

 

●

Legacy CuriosityStream’s operations comprise the ongoing operations of the post-combination company, and

 

●

Legacy CuriosityStream’s primary stockholder is entitled to elect the majority of the Company’s board members.

 

Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which Legacy CuriosityStream is issuing stock for the net assets of the Company. The net assets of the Company are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Effective Time of the Merger will be those of Legacy CuriosityStream.

 

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

 

The historical financial information has been adjusted in the pro forma combined financial statements to give pro forma effect to events that are related and/or directly attributable to the Merger and the related transactions described herein, are factually supportable, and as it relates to the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations, are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the post-combination company. Accordingly, the impacts of non-recurring Merger-related expenses are not included in the pro forma combined statements of operations. However, the impacts of such expenses are reflected in the pro forma combined balance sheet. Assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the pro forma combined financial statements.

 

The pro forma combined financial statements and information are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent the actual results of operations that the Company and Legacy CuriosityStream would have achieved had the companies been combined during the periods presented in the pro forma combined financial statements and is not intended to project the future results of operations that the combined company may achieve after the merger. The pro forma combined financial statements do not reflect any potential divestitures that may occur prior to, or subsequent to, completion of the Merger or cost savings that may be realized as a result of the Merger and also do not reflect any restructuring or integration-related costs to achieve those potential cost savings. Legacy CuriosityStream and the Company have not had any historical relationship prior to the merger. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

 

Included in the shares outstanding and weighted average shares outstanding as presented in the pro forma combined financial statements are 31,556,837 shares of Common Stock issued to Legacy CuriosityStream stockholders.

Pro Forma Adjustments to the Unaudited Combined Balance Sheet

 

(A)

Derived from the unaudited balance sheet of Legacy CuriosityStream as of June 30, 2020. See Legacy CuriosityStream’s unaudited financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 incorporated by reference into the Current Report from the Proxy Statement.

 

(B)

Derived from the unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2020. See the Company’s unaudited financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 incorporated by reference into the Current Report from the Proxy Statement.

 

(1)

Reflects the release of cash currently invested in marketable securities held in the trust account.

 

(2)

Reflects the proceeds received from the PIPE Investment with the corresponding issuance of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock of the post-combination company at approximately $10.00 per share.

 

(3)

Reflects the payment of fees and expenses related to the Merger, including the deferred underwriting fee of approximately $5.2 million and legal, financial advisory, accounting and other professional fees. Transaction related expenses of $130,000 and $89,000 are currently classified in accounts payable for the Company and Legacy CuriosityStream, respectively. The direct, incremental costs of the Merger related to the legal, financial advisory, accounting and other professional fees of approximately $8.8 million are reflected as an adjustment to additional paid in capital and is not shown as an adjustment to the statement of operations since it is a nonrecurring charge resulting directly from the Merger.

 

(4)

Reflects the cancellation of 12,549,512 shares of Common Stock for shareholders who elected cash conversion for payment of $125.98 million with the remaining $14.7 million transferred to permanent equity.

 

(5)

Reflects the recapitalization of Legacy CuriosityStream through (a) the contribution of all the share capital in Legacy CuriosityStream to the Company in the amount of approximately $164.0 million, (b) the issuance of 31,556,837 shares of Common Stock and (c) the elimination of the historical retained earnings of the Company, the legal acquirer, in the amount of $111,000.

 

(6)

Reflects the conversion of 3,737,500 shares of Class B Common Stock held by the  Sponsor into shares of Common Stock, on a one-for-one basis, at the consummation of the Merger. Following the conversion, these Sponsor shares will be subject to restrictions on transferability for 180 days.

 

(7)

Reflects the stock-based compensation expense attributable to 711,000 warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock held by the Sponsor that will be forfeited. In connection with the forfeiture of such warrants and the terms of the merger agreement, certain employees of the Company are expected to receive fully vested options exercisable for shares of Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan and certain other conditions, as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The warrants include a strike price of $11.50 per warrant. The warrants expire, if unexercised, five years upon closing of the Merger. The value of the warrants was estimated to be approximately $2.9 million, or $4.15 per warrant, using certain preliminary inputs in the Black-Scholes option pricing model, including the estimated fair value of the Common Stock of $10.00 per share. As the options will be issued to employees with no additional service requirements, a pro forma adjustment has been recorded to additional paid-in-capital and accumulated deficit in the pro forma combined balance sheet for the one-time compensation expense. An adjustment was not made to the pro forma combined statements of operations because the item is non-recurring.

Pro Forma Adjustments to the Unaudited Combined Statements of Operations

 

(A)

Derived from the unaudited statement of operations of Legacy CuriosityStream for the six months ended June 30, 2020. See Legacy CuriosityStream’s unaudited financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 incorporated by reference into the Current Report from the Proxy Statement.

 

(B)

Derived from the unaudited statement of operations of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2020. See the Company’s unaudited financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 incorporated by reference into the Current Report from the Proxy Statement.

 

(C)

Derived from the audited statement of operations of Legacy CuriosityStream for the year ended December 31, 2019. See Legacy CuriosityStream’s audited financial statements and the related notes thereto incorporated by reference into the Current Report from the Proxy Statement.

 

(D)

Derived from the audited statement of operations of the Company for the period from May 9, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019. See the Company’s audited financial statements and the related notes thereto incorporated by reference into the Current Report from the Proxy Statement.

 

(1)

Represents an adjustment to eliminate interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account as of the beginning of the period.

 

(2)

Represents an adjustment to the provision for income taxes as the post-combination company expects to be in a full valuation allowance due to continuing losses.

 

(3)

The calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the Company’s initial public offering occurred as of January 1, 2019. In addition, as the Merger is being reflected as if it had occurred on this date, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares have been outstanding for the entire period presented. This calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate the number of shares redeemed in the Merger for the entire period.

 

The following presents the calculation of basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted loss per share excludes the effect of 11,504,000 warrants to purchase 11,504,000 shares of Common Stock as well as stock options of Legacy CuriosityStream, which were converted to options to purchase shares of Common Stock as part of the Merger, because the inclusion of these securities would be anti-dilutive.

 

		Combined
Weighted average shares calculation, basic and diluted
Software Acquisition Group public shares			2,400,488
Software Acquisition Group Sponsor shares			3,737,500
