Note 3. Acquisitions

Unitabac

In July 2021, the Company acquired certain assets of Unitabac, a marketer of mass-market cigars, for $10.7 million in total consideration, comprised of $9.6 million in cash and $1.1 million of capitalized transaction costs. The acquisition is comprised of a portfolio of cigarillo products and all related intellectual property, including Cigarillo Non-Tip (“NT”) Homogenized Tobacco Leaf (“HTL”) products and Rolled Leaf and Natural Leaf Cigarillo Products. The transaction was accounted for as an asset purchase with $10.0 million assigned to intellectual property, which has an indefinite life, and $0.7 million assigned to inventory. The intellectual property asset is deductible for tax purposes.

Direct Value Wholesale

In April 2021, Turning Point Brands Canada, a VIE for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary, purchased 100% of the equity interests of Westhem Ventures LTD d/b/a Direct Value Wholesale (“DVW”) for $3.9 million, net of cash acquired, with $3.5 million paid in cash at closing and $0.5 million in accrued consideration to be paid during 2021. DVW is a Canadian distribution entity that operates in markets not primarily served by Turning Point Brands Canada. The acquisition expands Turning Point Brands Canada’s markets in Canada. On April 13, 2021, in connection with the acquisition of DVW, the Company provided a $3.7 million unsecured loan to Turning Point Brands Canada bearing interest at 8% per annum and maturing April 13, 2023. The unsecured loan is eliminated in the consolidation of Turning Point Brands Canada. The following table summarizes the consideration transferred and calculation of goodwill based on excess of the acquisition price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired:

Turning Point Brands Canada

In July 2021, the Company invested an additional $2.3 million in Turning Point Brands Canada increasing its ownership interest to 65%. The Company received board seats aligned with its ownership position. The Company has determined that Turning Point Brands Canada continues to be a VIE due to its required subordinated financial support. The Company has determined it remains the primary beneficiary due to its 65% equity interest, additional subordinated financing and distribution agreement with Turning Point Brands Canada for the sale of the Company’s products. As a result of the Company remaining the primary beneficiary, the increase in ownership interest resulted in a decrease in Non-controlling interest of $1.1 million and a decrease in Additional paid-in capital of $1.1 million
