Acquisitions and Divestitures

 

Since April 2013, as a part of The Coca‑Cola Company’s plans to refranchise its North American bottling territories, the Company has engaged in a series of transactions with The Coca‑Cola Company and Coca‑Cola Refreshments USA, Inc. (“CCR”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Coca‑Cola Company, to expand the Company’s distribution operations significantly through the acquisition of rights to serve additional distribution territories previously served by CCR (the “Expansion Territories”) and of related distribution assets (the “Distribution Territory Expansion Transactions”). During 2015, the Company completed the remaining Distribution Territory Expansion Transactions announced as part of the April 2013 letter of intent signed with The Coca‑Cola Company. These completed acquisitions include Expansion Territories in parts of Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana.

 

On May 12, 2015, the Company and The Coca‑Cola Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “May 2015 LOI”) pursuant to which CCR would in two phases (i) grant the Company certain exclusive rights for the distribution, promotion, marketing and sale of The Coca‑Cola Company-owned and -licensed products in additional territories served by CCR and (ii) sell the Company certain assets that included rights to distribute those cross‑licensed brands distributed in the territories by CCR as well as the assets used by CCR in the distribution of the cross‑licensed brands and The Coca‑Cola Company brands. The major markets that would be served by the Company as part of the expansion contemplated by the May 2015 LOI include: Baltimore, Maryland; Alexandria, Norfolk and Richmond, Virginia; the District of Columbia; Cincinnati, Columbus and Dayton, Ohio; and Indianapolis, Indiana.

 

On September 23, 2015, the Company and CCR entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “September 2015 APA”) for the first phase of the additional distribution territory contemplated by the May 2015 LOI including: (i) eastern and northern Virginia, (ii) the entire state of Maryland, (iii) the District of Columbia, and (iv) parts of Delaware, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Following is a summary of key closing dates for the transactions covered by the September 2015 APA:

 

 

October 30, 2015 – The first closing under the September 2015 APA occurred for territories served by distribution facilities in Norfolk, Fredericksburg and Staunton, Virginia and Elizabeth City, North Carolina.

 

January 29, 2016 – The second closing under the September 2015 APA occurred for territories served by distribution facilities in Easton and Salisbury, Maryland and Richmond and Yorktown, Virginia.

The May 2015 LOI contemplated that The Coca‑Cola Company would work collaboratively with the Company and certain other expanding participating bottlers in the U.S. to implement a national product supply system. As a result of subsequent discussions with The Coca‑Cola Company, on September 23, 2015, the Company and The Coca‑Cola Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “September 2015 LOI”) pursuant to which CCR would sell six manufacturing facilities (“Regional Manufacturing Facilities”) and related manufacturing assets (collectively, “Manufacturing Assets”) to the Company as the Company becomes a regional producing bottler (“Regional Producing Bottler”) in the national product supply system (the “Manufacturing Facility Expansion Transactions” and, together with the Distribution Territory Expansion Transactions, the “Expansion Transactions”). Similar to, and as an integral part of, the Distribution Territory Expansion Transactions described in the May 2015 LOI, the September 2015 LOI contemplated that the sale of the Manufacturing Assets by CCR to the Company would be accomplished in two phases: (i) the first phase would include three Regional Manufacturing Facilities located in Sandston, Virginia; Silver Spring, Maryland; and Baltimore, Maryland that serve certain of the distribution territories acquired by the Company under the September 2015 APA and (ii)  the second phase would include three Regional Manufacturing Facilities located in Indianapolis, Indiana; Portland, Indiana; and Cincinnati, Ohio that serve the distribution territories in central and southern Ohio, northern Kentucky and parts of Indiana and Illinois.

 

On October 30, 2015, the Company and CCR entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “October 2015 APA”) for the first phase of the Manufacturing Facility Expansion Transactions contemplated by the September 2015 LOI, including Regional Manufacturing Facilities located in Sandston, Virginia; Silver Spring, Maryland; and Baltimore, Maryland.

The transactions proposed by the CCR June 2016 LOI would provide exclusive distribution rights for the Company in the following major markets:  Little Rock, West Memphis and southern Arkansas; Memphis, Tennessee; and Louisa, Kentucky.

 

On June 14, 2016, the Company and Coca-Cola Bottling Company United, Inc. (“United”), which is an independent bottler and unrelated to the Company, entered into a non-binding letter of intent pursuant to which the Company would exchange exclusive rights and associated distribution assets and working capital relating to the distribution, promotion, marketing and sale of The Coca‑Cola Company-owned and –licensed products and certain cross-licensed brands in certain territory in south-central Tennessee, northwest Alabama and northwest Florida currently served by the Company’s distribution centers located in Florence, Alabama and Panama City, Florida, for certain of United’s exclusive rights and associated distribution assets and working capital relating to the distribution, promotion, marketing and sale of The Coca‑Cola Company-owned and –licensed products and certain cross-licensed brands in certain territory in and around Spartanburg and Bluffton, South Carolina currently served by United’s distribution centers located in Spartanburg, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia.

On October 28, 2016, the first closing under the September 2016 Manufacturing APA occurred for the Cincinnati, Ohio facility.

 

At the closings of each of the Distribution Territory Expansion Transactions (excluding the exchange for the Lexington Expansion Territory, as described below), the Company signed a Comprehensive Beverage Agreement (“CBA”) with The Coca‑Cola Company and CCR for each of the applicable Expansion Territories which has a term of ten years and is automatically renewed for successive additional terms of ten years unless the Company gives notice to terminate at least one year prior to the expiration of a ten-year term or unless earlier terminated as provided therein.

 

Under the CBAs, the Company makes a quarterly sub-bottling payment to CCR on a continuing basis for the grant of exclusive rights to distribute, promote, market and sell specified covered beverages and related products, as defined in the agreements. The quarterly sub-bottling payment, which is accounted for as contingent consideration, is based on sales of certain beverages and beverage products that are sold under the same trademarks that identify a covered beverage, related product or certain cross-licensed brands (as defined in the CBAs). The CBAs impose certain obligations on the Company with respect to serving the Expansion Territories and failure to meet these obligations could result in termination of a CBA if the Company fails to take corrective measures within a specified time frame.

On May 23, 2014, the Company acquired distribution rights and related assets for the Johnson City and Morristown, Tennessee territory, and on October 24, 2014, the Company acquired distribution rights and related assets for the Knoxville, Tennessee territory from CCR.

The goodwill of $1.9 million related to the Lexington Expansion Territory, which is included in the Nonalcoholic Beverages segment, is primarily attributed to the workforce of the territories and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

During the second quarter of 2016, the net assets received in the Asset Exchange Transaction, after deducting the value of certain retained assets and retained liabilities, increased by $4.2 million as a result of completing the post-closing adjustment under the Asset Exchange Agreement. In addition, the gain on the exchange was reduced by $0.7 million during the second quarter of 2016.

 

The carrying value of assets exchanged related to the Jackson, Tennessee territory exchanged in the Asset Exchange Transaction was $17.5 million, resulting in a gain on the exchange of $8.8 million in the second quarter of 2015.

 

The amount of goodwill and franchise rights allocated to the Jackson, Tennessee territory was determined using a relative fair value approach comparing the fair value of the Jackson, Tennessee territory to the fair value of the overall Nonalcoholic Beverages reporting unit.
