3. Acquisitions

On April 4, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Pete’s, a California-based indoor farming company. The Company acquired Pete’s in order to leverage Pete’s operational scale and retail distribution footprint to create a leading, scaled CEA operator with a national distribution footprint and access to approximately 10,000 retail doors. The purchase price consideration for the acquisition was $92.5 million in cash and 5,654,600 shares of Local Bounti common stock, which had an original consideration, at the time of signing, of $30.0 million and a fair value of $50.9 million as of the closing date of the Pete’s Acquisition. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination.

 

Acquisition related costs of $344 thousand and $4,245 thousand were included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

The purchase consideration was preliminary allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with the excess recorded to goodwill as shown below. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and expanded market opportunities and was allocated to the Company’s single reporting unit. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. For tax purposes, a 338(h)(10) election was filed to step up the tax basis of assets acquired to fair market value.

The preliminary allocation is as follows (in thousands):

 

The measurement period for the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed ends as soon as information on the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date becomes available, but does not exceed twelve months. The purchase price allocation is subject to future adjustments related to income taxes or other contingencies.
