7. ACQUISITIONS

Cisneros Interactive

On October 13, 2020, the Company acquired from certain individuals (collectively, the “Sellers”), 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of a company engaged in the sale and marketing of digital advertising that, together with its subsidiaries, does business under the name Cisneros Interactive (“Cisneros Interactive”).  The transaction, funded from cash on hand, includes a purchase price of approximately $29.9 million in cash. The Company concluded that the remaining 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of Cisneros Interactive stock is considered to be a noncontrolling interest.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company also entered into a Put and Call Option Agreement (the “Put and Call Agreement”). Subject to the terms of the Put and Call Agreement, if certain minimum EBITDA targets are met, the Sellers have the right (the “Put Option”), between March 15, 2024 and June 13, 2024, to cause the Company to purchase all (but not less than all) the remaining 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of Cisneros Interactive stock at a purchase price to be based on a pre-determined multiple of six times Cisneros Interactive’s 12-month EBITDA in the preceding calendar year. The Sellers may also exercise the Put Option upon the occurrence of certain events, between March 2022 and April 2024.

Additionally, subject to the terms of the Put and Call Agreement, the Company has the right (the “Call Option”), in calendar year 2024, to purchase all (but not less than all) the remaining 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of Cisneros Interactive stock at a purchase price to be based on a pre-determined multiple of six times of Cisneros Interactive’s 12-month EBITDA in calendar year 2023.

Applicable accounting guidance requires an equity instrument that is redeemable for cash or other assets to be classified outside of permanent equity if it is redeemable (a) at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, (b) at the option of the holder, or (c) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer.

As a result of the put and call option redemption feature, and because the redemption is not solely within the control of the Company, the noncontrolling interest is considered redeemable, and is classified in temporary equity within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets initially at its acquisition date fair value. The noncontrolling interest is adjusted each reporting period for income (or loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest as well as any applicable distributions made. Since the noncontrolling interest is not currently redeemable and it is not probable that it will become redeemable, the Company is not currently required to adjust the amount presented in temporary equity to its redemption value. The fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest which includes the Put and Call Agreement recognized on the acquisition date was $30.8 million. The table below presents the reconciliation of changes in redeemable noncontrolling interests (unaudited; in thousands):

The fair value of the assets acquired includes trade receivables of $50.5 million. The gross amount due under contract is $54.0 million, of which $3.5 million is expected to be uncollectable.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, Cisneros Interactive generated net revenue and net income of $88.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

The goodwill, which is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes, is assigned to the Company’s digital segment and is attributable to Cisneros Interactive’s workforce and expected synergies from combining Cisneros Interactive’s operations with those of the Company.
