Issuer Direct Corporation

Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements

 

On November 1, 2022, Issuer Direct Corporation (“ISDR”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) completed the acquisition of iNewswire.com LLC (“Newswire, the “Seller”), a Delaware limited liability company, whereby the Company purchased all of the Seller’s issued and outstanding membership interests (in the “Acquisition”). Issuer Direct paid to the Seller aggregate consideration of approximately $43.9 million, consisting of the following: (i) a cash payment of $18.0 million, (ii) the issuance of a Secured Promissory Note (the “Secured Note”) in the principal amount of $22.0 million, and (iii) the issuance of 180,181 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Equity Payment”).

 

The following unaudited pro forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2022, and the unaudited pro forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and for the year ended December 31, 2021, present the combination of the financial information of Newswire and Issuer Direct after giving effect to the acquisition and related adjustments as described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021, give pro forma effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet gives pro forma effect to the acquisition as if it was completed on September 30, 2022.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are based on currently available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable, that reflect the impact of events directly attributable to the Acquisition that are factually supportable, and for purposes of the unaudited pro forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, that are expected to have a continuing impact on us. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are intended for informational purposes only, and do not purport to represent what our financial position and results of operations actually would have been had the Acquisition and related events occurred on the dates indicated, or to project our financial performance for any future period. Specifically, among other things, the pro forma financial information does not include working capital and other post-closing adjustments related to items affecting comparability, the effects of transition services arrangements with the buyers, final purchase accounting attributed to the transaction, or the impact of any future action we may take to align our cost structure with our business.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are subject to the assumptions and adjustments described herein. Actual adjustments may differ materially from the information presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022.

Note 1. Description of the Transaction

 

Newswire Acquisition

 

On November 1, 2022, in connection with the Acquisition, Issuer Direct Corporation (the “Company”) paid to Lead Capital LLC (the “Seller”), aggregate consideration of approximately $43.9 million, consisting of the following: (i) a cash payment of $18.0 million subject to a 60-day escrow to secure the payment of any working capital adjustments or any employee bonus obligations of Newswire, (ii) the issuance of a Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $22.0 million, and (iii) the issuance of 180,181 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001.

 

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

 

The Acquisition will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Under the acquisition method, the consideration transferred is measured at the acquisition closing date. The assets of Newswire have been measured based on preliminary estimates using assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable utilizing information currently available. Use of different estimates and judgements could yield different results.

 

The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets and certain tangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future cash flows and developing appropriate discount rates. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the estimated amounts of identifiable assets of Newswire as of the effective date of the acquisition was allocated to goodwill in accordance with accounting guidance. The acquisition accounting is subject to finalization of the Company’s analysis of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Newswire as of the acquisition date. Accordingly, the acquisition accounting in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements is preliminary and will be adjusted upon completion of the final valuation. Such adjustments could be material.

 

Note 3. Pro Forma Adjustments

 

A summary of the fair value consideration transferred for the Acquisition and the preliminary allocation to the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Newswire are as follows (in $000s):
