GEE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

1. BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2017, and the unaudited pro forma statements of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and the year ended September 30, 2016, are based on the historical financial statements of the Company and SNIH after giving effect to the Company’s acquisition of the Acquired Companies and reclassification and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.

 

The Company accounts for business combinations pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification ASC 805, Business Combinations. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company uses it best estimates and assumptions to accurately assign fair value to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

 

The fair values assigned to the assets of the Acquired Companies acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions. The estimated fair values of these assets acquired and liabilities assumed are considered preliminary and are based on the information that was available as of the date of acquisition. The Company believes that the information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but is waiting for additional information, primarily related to estimated values of current and non-current income taxes payable and deferred taxes, which are subject to change, pending the finalization of certain tax returns. The Company expects to finalize the valuation of the assets and liabilities as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position that the Company would have reported had the Merger been completed as of the dates presented, and should not be taken as a representation of the Company’s future consolidated results of operation or financial position.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016 which is attached hereto as Annex F and incorporated herein by reference and with the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017 which is attached hereto as Annex G and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Accounting Periods Presented

 

For purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined financial information, SNIH’s historical year end was December 31 and has been aligned to more closely conform to the Company’s year end of September 30, as explained below. Certain pro forma adjustments were made to conform SNIH’s accounting policies to the Company’s accounting policies as noted below.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2017 and the statements of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and the year ended September 30, 2016, are presented as if the acquisition of the Acquired Companies had occurred on September 30, 2015 and were carried forward through each of the periods presented.

 

 
5
 

  

Reclassifications

 

The Company reclassified certain accounts in the presentation of SNIH’s historical financial statements in order to conform to the Company’s presentation.

 

2. THE MERGER

 

The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 31, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, GEE Group Portfolio, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, (the “GEE Portfolio”), SNI Holdco Inc., a Delaware corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary SNI Companies, Inc. ( collectively the “Acquired Companies”), Smith Holdings, LLC a Delaware limited liability company, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, a Wisconsin corporation, organized as a fraternal benefits society (“Thrivent”), Madison Capital Funding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Madison”) and Ronald R. Smith, in his capacity as a stockholder (“Mr. Smith” and collectively with Smith Holdings, LLC, Thrivent and Madison, the “Principal Stockholders”) and Ronald R. Smith in his capacity as the representative of the SNIH Stockholders (“Stockholders’ Representative”). The Merger Agreement provided for the merger subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement of SNI Holdco, Inc. with and into GEE Portfolio pursuant to which GEE Portfolio would be the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). The Merger was consummated on April 3, 2017. As a result of the merger, GEE Portfolio became the owner of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of SNI Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of SNI Holdco.

 

The aggregate consideration paid for the shares of SNIH (the “Merger Consideration”) was $66.3 million.

 

The Merger Consideration was comprised of the following:

 

The Company paid an aggregate of $24,500,000 in cash to the SNIH Stockholders and others as they directed (the “Closing Cash Payment”).

 

Issuance of 9.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes. At the Closing, the Company issued and paid to certain SNIH Stockholders an aggregate of $12,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 9.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes (the “9.5% Notes”).

 

Issuance of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. At the Closing, the Company agreed to issue to certain SNIH Stockholders upon receipt of duly executed letters of transmittal an aggregate of approximately 5,926,000 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (based on the average daily VWAP of the Common Stock for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the closing date of the Merger). The value of the consideration paid was approximately $29,300,000 based on the closing price of $4.95 on March 31, 2017.

 

The SNIH Stockholders have agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to the breach of the representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement. The relative responsibility and Indemnification Ceiling of each SNIH Stockholder is determined as set forth in the Merger Agreement. In addition, the indemnification obligations of the SNIH Stockholders are subject to certain overall baskets, deductibles and ceilings as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Company is entitled to seek ‘set off’ or ‘recoupment’ for indemnification with respect to a respective SNIH Stockholder’s 9.5% Notes or stock or other property, as may be owned by that SNIH Stockholder and held in escrow. $8.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the 9.5% Notes will be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent against which the Company may seek set-off in the event of certain indemnification obligations of the SNIH Stockholders. These 9.5% Notes will be released from escrow after a period of eighteen months if there are no outstanding claims for indemnification, but not if there are outstanding claims for indemnification.

 

The Company utilized approximately $24,500,000 of the proceeds from its new Credit Agreement to finance the Closing Cash Payment to the SNIH Stockholders.

 

Under the purchase method of accounting, the transaction was valued for accounting purposes at an estimated $90,495,000, which was the estimated fair value of the consideration paid by the Company, after it was determined post-closing that the net liabilities purchased were $24,177,000 which includes the estimated deferred tax liability of $12,000,000. The estimate was based on the consideration paid of cash paid of $24,500,000, issuance of $12,500,000 of 9.5% convertible subordinated notes and approximately $29,300,000 of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

The assets and liabilities of SNIH will be recorded at their respective fair values as of the closing date of the Merger Agreement, and the following table summarizes these values based on the estimated balance sheet at April 3, 2017.

 

 
6
 

  

The intangibles will be recorded, based on the Company’s estimate of fair value, which are expected to consist primarily of customer lists with an estimated life of five to ten years and goodwill. Upon completion of an independent purchase price allocation and valuation, the allocation of intangible assets will be adjusted accordingly.
