On May 8, 2019, the Company entered into definitive agreements to acquire Dogfish Head Brewery (“Dogfish Head”) and various related operations (the “Transaction”), through the acquisition of all of the equity interests held by certain private entities in Off-Centered Way LLC, the parent holding company of the Dogfish Head operations. In accordance with these agreements, the Company made a payment of $158.4 million, which was placed in escrow pending the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. The Transaction closed on July 3, 2019, for total consideration of $336.0 million consisting of $173.0 million in cash and 429,291 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock that had an aggregate market value as of July 3, 2019 of $163.0 million, after taking into account a post-closing cash related adjustment. As required under the definitive agreements, 127,146 of the 429,291 shares of restricted Class A Stock have been placed in escrow and will be released no later than July 3, 2029. These shares had a market value on July 3, 2019 of $48.3 million. The timing of the release of these escrowed shares is primarily related to the continued employment with the Company of Samuel A. Calagione III, one of the two Dogfish Head founders.

The Company’s allocation of consideration exchanged to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Transaction is based on estimated fair values as of July 3, 2019, and was finalized on July 3, 2020. The following table summarizes the acquisition date fair value of the tangible assets, intangible assets, liabilities assumed, and related goodwill acquired from Dogfish Head, as well as the allocation of purchase price paid:

The Company accounted for the acquisition in accordance with the accounting standards codification guidance for business combinations, whereby the total purchase price was allocated to the acquired net tangible and intangible assets of Dogfish Head based on their fair values as of the Transaction closing date.

The fair value of the Dogfish Head brand trade name is estimated at approximately $98.5 million and the fair value of customer relationships is estimated at $3.8 million. The Company estimated the Dogfish Head brand trade name will have an indefinite life and customer relationships will have an estimated useful life of 15 years. The customer relationship intangible asset will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the 15 year estimated useful life. The fair value of the deferred income tax liability assumed is $18.4 million, representing the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and their tax basis. The Company used a preliminary consolidated tax rate to determine the net deferred tax liabilities. The Company will record measurement period adjustments as the Company applies the appropriate tax rate for each legal entity within Dogfish Head. The expectation is that the Dogfish Head deferred income taxes will be subject to the Company’s consolidated rate. The excess of the purchase price paid over the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill in the amount of $108.8 million. Goodwill associated with the acquisition is primarily attributable to the future growth opportunities associated with the Transaction, expected synergies and value of the workforce. The Company believes the majority of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of the brand trade name was determined utilizing the relief from royalty method which is a form of the income approach. Under this method, a royalty rate based on observed market royalties is applied to projected revenue supporting the trade name and discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. The fair value of the property, plant and equipment was determined utilizing the cost and market valuation approaches.

The results of operations from Dogfish Head have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income since the July 3, 2019 Transaction closing date.

Consistent with prior periods and considering post-merger reporting structures, the Company will continue to report as one operating segment. The combined Company’s brands are predominantly beverages that are manufactured using similar

production processes, have comparable alcohol content, generally fall under the same regulatory environment, and are sold to the same types of customers in similar size quantities at similar price points and through the same channels of distribution.
