On June 5, 2020, UBH entered into a definitive Business Combination Agreement with CCH and the Continuing Members. At the closing of the Business Combination (the "Closing") on August 28, 2020 (the "Closing Date"), the Company domesticated into a Delaware corporation and changed its name to "Utz Brands, Inc." At the Closing, the Company (i) acquired certain common and preferred interests of the Continuing Members from third party members (“UPA Seller”), and the Continuing Members then redeemed such common and preferred interests for, and the Company received, an equivalent value of common limited liability company units of UBH, (ii) contributed cash in exchange for additional common limited liability company units of UBH, and (iii) purchased additional common limited liability company units and 100% of the managing interests of UBH from the Continuing Members. As part of the Business Combination, the Continuing Members (a) received certain cash considerations for the common limited liability company units that they sold to the Company, (b) received such number of shares of newly issued non-economic Class V Common Stock in the Company equal to the common limited liability company units that the Continuing Members retained in UBH, and a unit of limited liability company units of UBH and a share of Class V Common Stock are exchangeable for one share of Class A Common Stock of the Company, (c) received certain restricted common limited liability company units in UBH (the "Retained Restricted Units") that would be vested under certain market conditions, which vested as of the Closing, and (d) entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) that requires the Company to pay to the Continuing Members 85% of the applicable cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal and state income tax determined based on certain attributes as defined in the TRA. In connection with the Closing, UBH and the Company converted all of the outstanding phantom unit awards issued under the Utz Quality Foods, LLC 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2018 LTIP") into restricted stock units (“2020 LTIP RSUs”) issued by the Company under the Utz Quality Foods, LLC 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2020 LTIP"). Further discussion of the purchase consideration of the Business Combination is disclosed later in this footnote.

The Company was determined to be the accounting acquirer and UBH was determined to be the accounting acquiree, in accordance with ASC 810, as the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of UBH after the Business Combination. Under the ASC 805, Business Combinations, acquisition method of accounting, purchase price allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of UBH are presented based on their estimated fair values as of the Closing. ASC 805 establishes a measurement period to provide the Company with a reasonable amount of time to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure various items in a business combination and cannot extend beyond one year from the acquisition date.

As a result of the Business Combination, the Company’s financial statement presentation distinguishes UBH as the “Predecessor” through the Closing Date. The Company, which includes consolidation of UBH subsequent to the Business Combination, is the “Successor” for periods after the Closing Date. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting in the Successor period, the financial statements for the Successor period are presented on a full step-up basis as a result of the Business Combination, and are therefore not comparable to the financial statements of the Predecessor period that are not presented on the same full step-up basis due to the Business Combination.

(1) Under the terms of the TRA, the Company generally will be required to pay to the Continuing Members 85% of the applicable cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal and state income tax based on its ownership in UBH that the Company is deemed to realize in certain circumstances as a result of the increases in tax basis and certain tax attributes resulting from the Business Combination. The fair value of these contingent payments at the Closing was $28.7 million which has been recorded as a non-current accrued expense. Refer to Note 15. "Income Taxes" for additional information on the TRA.

(2) Represents the fair value of the Phantom Units associated with the pre-combination requisite service period and issued under the 2018 LTIP that were converted into 2020 LTIP RSUs of the Company issued under the 2020 LTIP at the Closing. The difference between the fair value of the Phantom Units and the fair values of the 2020 LTIP RSUs represents the fair value of the compensation expenses for the post-combination requisite service period for the replacement awards. Compensation expenses will be recorded evenly during the post-combination requisite service period through the end of fiscal 2021, which is the cliff vest date of the replacement awards. Refer to Note 11. "Share Based Compensation" for additional information on the 2020 LTIP RSUs.

(3) A total of 3,483,022 common limited liability company units that were initially subject to certain restrictions (the "Retained Restricted Units") in UBH were received by the Continuing Members at the Closing. These Retained Restricted Units were vested and converted to common limited liability company units of UBH at the Closing, as the vesting conditions were all met as of the Closing. The fair value of the Retained Restricted Units was calculated based on the stock price of the Company at the August 28, 2020 Closing, less a 5% lack of marketability discount due to a restriction on the exchange of the Continuing Members’ common limited liability company units to Class A Common Stock of the Company for a period not to exceed 12 months from the Closing.

(4) The noncontrolling interest represents the common limited liability company units of UBH held by the Continuing Members. The fair value of these units was determined based on the Class A Common Stock price of the Company at the August 28, 2020 Closing, less a 5% lack of marketability discount due to a restriction on the exchange of the Continuing Members’ common limited liability company units to Class A Common Stock of the Company for a period not to exceed 12 months from the Closing.

(2) The goodwill of $645.0 million represents the excess of the gross consideration transferred over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Qualitative factors that contribute to the recognition of goodwill include certain intangible assets that are not recognized as separate identifiable intangible assets apart from goodwill. Intangible assets not recognized apart from goodwill consist primarily of the strong market position and the assembled workforce of UBH. A portion of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. As of January 3, 2021, the purchase price allocation has not been finalized. We expect to finalize the valuation report and complete the purchase price allocation no later than one-year from the acquisition date.

The predecessor financial statements of UBH include $25.0 million of transaction costs from December 30, 2019 to August 28, 2020. These transaction costs are recorded within administrative expenses within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Prior to the Closing Date, CCH incurred $13.4 million of transaction costs related to the Business Combination, which are not reported in the predecessor consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income as CCH is not the predecessor. UBH contributed revenues of $325.6 million and net loss of $13.8 million in the consolidated statement of operations for the period from the acquisition date of August 28, 2020 to January 3, 2021.

UBH closed the acquisition of Kitchen Cooked on December 30, 2019. At the closing, UBH made a cash payment of $6.9 million and recorded $2.0 million in deferred payment obligations for the acquisition of the outstanding shares of Kitchen Cooked as well as certain real estate supporting its operations. The $2.0 million in deferred payments were payable in installments of $1.0 million each on the first two anniversaries following the closing, with $1.0 million paid at the end of fiscal 2020 and $1.0 million payable towards the end of fiscal year 2021. The purchase consideration was primarily allocated between trademarks $1.6 million, customer relationships $2.1 million, and other assets totaling $2.3 million and liabilities assumed of $1.2 million, which resulted in goodwill of $4.1 million. The Company has determined that all the acquired customer relationships and trademarks will be amortized over a period of 15 years on a straight-line basis commensurate with the acquisition date expectations for the economics that are to be provided by the trademarks and customer relationships. The goodwill of $4.1 million arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

On November 2, 2020, the Company, through its subsidiary UQF acquired certain assets of the H.K. Anderson business ("HKA Acquisition"), a leading brand of peanut butter-filled pretzels, from Conagra Brands, Inc. for approximately $8.0 million. The acquisition includes certain intangible assets is intended to broaden the Company's product offering to include filled pretzels. The provisional fair values to which the purchase price was allocated $1.8 million to trademarks, $2.7 million to customer relationships, and $3.5 million to goodwill. The trademarks and customer relationships are being amortized over a period of 15 years. As of January 3, 2021, the purchase price allocation has not been finalized. We expect to finalize the valuation report and complete the purchase price allocation no later than one-year from the acquisition date.

On November 11, 2020 the Company caused its subsidiaries, UQF and Heron, to enter into a Stock Purchase Agreement among UQF, Heron, Truco and Truco Holdings LLC. On December 14, 2020, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company caused its subsidiary, Heron, to consummate the Truco Acquisition. Upon completion of the Truco Acquisition, Truco became a wholly owned subsidiary of Heron. At the closing of the Truco Acquisition, the Company paid the aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $404.0 million to Truco Holdings LLC, including payments of approximately $3.0 million for cash on hand at Truco at the closing of the Truco Acquisition, less estimated working capital adjustments, subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

In addition, on December 14, 2020, UQF consummated the IP Purchase pursuant to which it purchased and acquired from OTB Acquisition, LLC the OTB IP pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated November 11, 2020, among UQF, Truco Seller and OTB Acquisition, LLC. The IP Purchase was determined to be an asset acquisition under the provisions of ASC Subtopic 805-50. The IP Purchase is accounted for separately from the Truco Acquisition, as Truco and the OTB IP were acquired from two different selling parties that were not under common control and are two separate transactions. The OTB IP was initially recognized and measured by the Company based on its purchase price of $79.0 million since it was acquired in an asset purchase and is treated as an indefinite lived intangible assets.

For the Truco Acquisition, the Company was determined to be the accounting acquirer and Truco was determined to be the accounting acquiree, in accordance with ASC 805. In accordance with the ASC 805 acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Truco are presented based on their estimated fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition. ASC 805 establishes a measurement period to provide the Company with a reasonable amount of time to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure various items in a business combination and cannot extend beyond one year from the acquisition date.

On September 10, 2019, UQF entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Kennedy (the "Kennedy Acquisition") from Conagra Brands, Inc. (“Conagra”), a Delaware corporation. Kennedy was previously wholly owned by the Conagra subsidiary, Peak Finance Holdings LLC (“the Seller”). Kennedy consists of two divisions: Tim’s Cascade Snacks and Snyder of Berlin, which are snack food manufactures. Kennedy was acquired to expand the Company’s national footprint and capture significant synergies. The acquisition provided UQF with the second-largest DSD network for branded salty snacks in the Pacific Northwest; a leased, regional production facility outside of Seattle, WA; and increased scale with retailers in the Western U.S. The Company also acquired regional DSD routes and a production facility in Berlin, PA, which are highly complementary with its existing business in that region.

The acquisition was closed on October 21, 2019 when UQF commenced a cash acquisition to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Kennedy. UQF made a cash payment of $141.4 million for the acquisition on the closing date, which included cash paid for the acquisition of the outstanding shares of Kennedy, settlement of insurance for the transaction incurred by UQF, transfer of $1.6 million in operating cash to Kennedy, and settlement of certain professional fees totaling $1.8 million incurred by UQF.

UQF has determined that all the acquired trademarks included in Intangible assets, net will be amortized over a period of 15-20 years, and the customer relationship asset will be amortized over a period of 15 years on a straight-line basis commensurate with the acquisition date expectations for the economic value (i.e. net cash flow generating capability) that is to be provided by the trademarks and relationships, respectively. The transaction included the recognition of a liability of $0.1 million for unfavorable leases acquired which shall be amortized over three years. The goodwill of $71.5 million arising from the acquisition of Kennedy consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations, and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce acquired through the acquisition.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the results of operations as if the Business Combination, Truco Acquisition, IP Purchase, HKA Acquisition, Kitchen Cooked Acquisition, and the Kennedy Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2019. These unaudited pro forma results may not necessarily reflect the actual results of operations that would have been achieved, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results of operations. The unaudited pro forma information reflects the step-up depreciation and amortization adjustments for the fair value of the assets acquired, the adjustment in interest expense due to the reduction in long term debt as a result of the Business Combination, and the related adjustment to the income tax provision. In addition, the pro forma net income is not adjusted to exclude transaction expenses and other non-recurring costs.
