December 2018
acquisition of CPH
 
On
December 6, 2018,
the Company consummated the Business Combination. This acquisition qualifies as a business combination under ASC
805.
Accordingly, the Company will record all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values, with any excess recognized as goodwill. Goodwill recorded from the transaction represents the value provided by the Company’s leading market share in a highly-fragmented industry.
 
The following table represents the preliminary allocation of consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition-date fair values:
 
Consideration paid:
       
Cash
  $
445,386

Note: Cash in table above is net of
$1.0
million in cash acquired
 
Identifiable intangible assets acquired consist of customer relationships of
$168.7
million and trade names of
$52.0
million. The customer relationships were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method. The Company determined the useful life of the customer relationships to be
15
years. The trade names were valued using the relief-from-royalty method. The Company determined the useful life of the trade name associated with Camfaud to be
10
years. The Company determined the trade names associated with Brundage-Bone and Eco-Pan to be indefinite.
 
CPH incurred transaction costs of
$14.2
million and debt extinguishment costs of
$16.4
million independently prior to the Business Combination. Industrea incurred transaction costs of
$18.8
million independently prior to the Business Combination, i.e. before
December 5, 2018,
of which
$8.1
million was related to the payment of deferred underwriting commissions, and Industrea’s Pre-Business Combination financial results are
not
consolidated with the Predecessor (Note
2
), these costs are
not
reflected in the Predecessor Financial Statements.
 
Additional costs consisting of stock option and other compensation related expenses were recorded in connection with the Business Combination. These costs were solely contingent upon the completion of the business combination and did
not
include any future service requirements. As such, these costs will be presented “on the line” and are
not
reflected in either Predecessor or Successor financial statements.  “On the line” describes those expenses triggered by the consummation of a business combination that were incurred by the acquiree, i.e. CPH, that are
not
recognized in the Statement of Operations of either the Predecessor or Successor as they are
not
directly attributable to either period but instead were contingent on the Business Combination.
 
In conjunction with the Business Combination, there were
$20.1
million of transaction bonuses and, as a result of change in control provision for stock-based awards, certain unvested stock-based awards immediately vested, resulting in the recognition of compensation expense of approximately
$0.6
million. These expenses were
not
reflected in either the Predecessor or Successor consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) periods, but instead are presented “on the line.”
 
April 2018
acquisition of O’Brien (Predecessor)
 
In
April 2018,
Brundage-Bone entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire substantially all assets of Richard O’Brien Companies, Inc., O’Brien Concrete Pumping-Arizona, Inc., O’Brien Concrete Pumping-Colorado, Inc. and O’Brien Concrete Pumping, LLC (collectively, “O’Brien” or the O’Brien Companies”) for cash.
 
This acquisition qualified as a business combination under ASC
805.
Accordingly, the Predecessor recorded all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values, with any excess recognized as goodwill. Goodwill represents expected synergies from combining operations and the assembled workforce. The acquisition was part of the Predecessor’s strategic plan to expand their presence in the Colorado and Arizona markets.
 
The following table represents the total consideration transferred and its allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values:
