Acquisition of Mitsubishi Corp-UBS Realty Inc.

On March 17, 2022, KKR announced the signing of a strategic transaction by 76KK, an indirect subsidiary of KKR & Co. Inc., to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Mitsubishi Corp-UBS Realty Inc. from Mitsubishi Corporation and UBS Asset Management in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately ¥230 billion (or approximately $1.8 billion). On April 28, 2022, KKR completed the acquisition of Mitsubishi Corp-UBS Realty Inc., which changed its name to KJR Management ("KJRM"). Given the recent closing, the purchase accounting analysis is incomplete.
Acquisition of Global Atlantic

On July 7, 2020, indirect subsidiaries of KKR & Co. Inc., namely Magnolia Parent LLC and Magnolia Merger Sub Limited, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “GA Merger Agreement”) with Global Atlantic Financial Group Limited ("GAFG"), Global Atlantic Financial Life Limited ("GAFLL"), LAMC LP, and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, solely in its capacity as the Equity Representative (as defined in the GA Merger Agreement). Pursuant to the GA Merger Agreement, at the closing of the acquisition of Global Atlantic by KKR (the "GA Acquisition"), among other things, Global Atlantic Financial Group Limited continued as the surviving entity in its merger with Magnolia Merger Sub Limited and became a direct subsidiary of Magnolia Parent LLC, which subsequently changed its name to The Global Atlantic Financial Group LLC (“TGAFG”).

On February 1, 2021 (the “GA Acquisition Date”), the GA Acquisition was completed, and KKR acquired all of the voting interests in Global Atlantic and an economic ownership of 61.1% of Global Atlantic prior to certain post-closing purchase price adjustments discussed below and after taking into account GA Rollover Investors’ and GA Co-Investors’ (each as defined below) equity ownership of Global Atlantic. In addition to entering into the retirement and life insurance business through KKR's indirect ownership of Global Atlantic's insurance companies, KKR's flagship investment management company became the investment adviser for Global Atlantic’s insurance companies, which increases KKR’s presence in the insurance community. Furthermore, the transaction allows Global Atlantic to gain access to KKR’s origination and asset management capabilities.

Under the GA Merger Agreement, KKR agreed to pay former shareholders of Global Atlantic Financial Group Limited an amount in cash equal to 1.0x U.S. GAAP Shareholders’ Equity of Global Atlantic Financial Group Limited, excluding Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and subject to certain other purchase price adjustments ("GA Book Value," determined as $4.7 billion as of February 1, 2021 for purposes of the purchase price determination). The amount of consideration payable by KKR was reduced by the amount of equity rolled over by certain former shareholders of Global Atlantic Financial Group Limited who elected to continue their equity ownership in Global Atlantic at closing ("GA Rollover Investors"). In addition, KKR syndicated equity interests in Global Atlantic to minority co-investors ("GA Co-Investors"), which also had the effect of reducing the amount of consideration payable by KKR at closing. The purchase price is as follows (in thousands):

Cash consideration paid by KKR$2,914,455 
GA Co-Investors and GA Rollover Investors1,824,239 
Total Purchase Price $4,738,694 

The purchase price paid at closing was subject to certain post-closing adjustments, which were finalized in June 2021, and KKR and certain GA Co-Investors paid incremental amounts of $55 million and $3 million, respectively ($58 million in total). As a result of the post-closing adjustments, KKR's economic ownership of Global Atlantic increased from 61.1% at closing to 61.5%.

The GA Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations ("Topic 805"). Goodwill of $497.1 million has been recorded based on the amount that the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired less the amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the scale, skill sets, operations, and synergies that can be achieved subsequent to the GA Acquisition. The goodwill recorded is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes and it has been allocated to the Insurance segment.
The following table summarizes the fair value amounts recognized for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and resulting goodwill as of the GA Acquisition Date:

Measurement Period Adjustments
KKR finalized the valuation of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities in December 2021. During the second quarter of 2021, KKR recognized measurement period adjustments to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The measurement period adjustments also reflected the increase in the total consideration transferred of $58 million as a result of final purchase price adjustments. Measurement period adjustments consist primarily of a $50 million increase in the value of distribution agreements acquired, a $63 million increase in policy liabilities, a $25 million increase in investments, and a $46 million increase in goodwill. The related impact to net income that would have been recognized in previous periods if the adjustments were recognized as of the GA Acquisition Date was not material to the consolidated financial statements.
KKR performed a valuation of the acquired investments, policy liabilities, value of business acquired ("VOBA"), other identifiable intangibles, and funds withheld at interest payables and receivables. The following is a summary of significant inputs to the valuation:
Investments
Global Atlantic’s investment portfolio primarily consists of fixed maturity securities, mortgage and other loan receivables, equity securities, and investments in real assets such as renewable energy and transportation assets. All of the assets included within the investment portfolio were measured and reported at their fair values on the GA Acquisition Date consistent with the valuation methodologies discussed in Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in audited financial statements included in KKR & Co. Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. As a result, the cost basis of each respective investment was reset to equal fair value on the GA Acquisition Date.
Policy liabilities
Policy liabilities were remeasured based on generally accepted actuarial methods and reported at their fair values on the GA Acquisition Date. Assumptions for future mortality, persistency, policyholder behavior, expenses, investment return and other actuarial factors were based on an evaluation of Global Atlantic’s recent experience, industry experience, and anticipated future trends. These assumptions are intended to be representative of market assumptions used by buyers and sellers in similar transactions. The approach employed to develop these projection assumptions is described below:
Discount rates used to calculate fair value ranged from 11% to 15%, depending on product;
Mortality and persistency assumptions are based on both Global Atlantic and general industry experience;
Expenses were projected reflecting Global Atlantic’s unit expenses with an allocation of a portion of overhead expenses to in-force business;
Future investment income reflects a runoff of the existing asset portfolios and reinvestment strategies based on Global Atlantic’s assumptions for asset yield, quality, and maturity. The projections are based on forward interest rates implied by the Treasury yield curve. Credit rates reflect Global Atlantic’s target spreads;
Separate account and index account growth rates are based on long-term return expectations for different fund types and on the underlying mix of funds; and
Statutory reserves underlying the valuation reflect Global Atlantic’s current reserving methodologies.
Value of business acquired ("VOBA")
VOBA represents the estimated fair value of future net cash flows from in-force life and annuity insurance contracts acquired at the GA Acquisition Date.
Other identifiable intangible assets
Other identifiable intangible assets represent distribution relationships, trade names and state insurance licenses. The distribution relationships were valued using the excess earnings method, which derives value based on the present value of the cash flow attributable to the distribution relationships, less returns for contributory assets. The trade name intangible asset represents the Global Atlantic trade name, and was valued using the relief-from-royalty method giving consideration to publicly available third-party trade name royalty rates as well as expected premiums generated by the use of the trade name over its anticipated life. The state insurance licenses represent Global Atlantic’s jurisdictional insurance licenses, which include 52 insurance licenses, encompassing all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. They were protected through registration and were valued using the market approach based on third-party market transactions from which the prices paid for state insurance licenses could be derived.
Funds withheld at interest receivables and payables
Funds withheld at interest receivables and payables were remeasured at fair value based on the fair value of assets held in the underlying portfolios supporting those receivables or payables.
The fair value and weighted average estimated useful lives of Value of Business Acquired and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets acquired in the GA Acquisition consist of the following (dollars in thousands):

Fair Value Average Useful Life
($ in thousands)(in years)
VOBA (included within Insurance Intangible Assets)$1,024,520 28.6
Negative VOBA (included within Policy Liabilities)(1,273,414)22.2
Total VOBA$(248,894)
Value of Distribution Agreements Acquired$250,000

Trade Names 50,000

State Insurance Licenses10,000 Indefinite
Total Identifiable Other Intangible Assets (included within Other Assets)$310,000 


As of the GA Acquisition Date, Global Atlantic's financial results are reflected in these financial statements. Global Atlantic's revenues of $1.4 billion and net income before allocation to noncontrolling interest holders of $(203.9) million, respectively, are included in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
