Supreme
On November 8, 2020, ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Supreme Holdings, Inc. ("Supreme"). The acquisition was completed on December 28, 2020, for $2.2Ìýbillion in cash, which is subject to working capital and other adjustments. The transaction also included $0.2Ìýbillion of cash acquired by ±«ÓãÖ±²¥. The preliminary purchase price was primarily funded with cash on hand.
The acquisition of Supreme includes a contingent arrangement that may require additional cash consideration to be paid ranging from zero to $300.0 million, subject to the achievement of certain financial targets over the one-year earn out period ending January 31, 2022. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration of $207.0 million is included in the preliminary purchase price and has been reported in the other liabilities line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 2021. In subsequent reporting periods, the contingent consideration liability will be remeasured at fair value with changes recognized in the selling, general and administrative expenses line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on the probability-weighted present value of various future cash payment outcomes. As of April 3, 2021, there were no changes in the recognized amounts or range of outcomes for the contingent consideration recognized as a result of the acquisition. Refer to Note 23 for additional information on fair value measurements.
Supreme was a privately-held company based in New York, New York and is a global streetwear leader that sells apparel, accessories and footwear under its namesake brand, Supreme®,
through direct-to-consumer channels, including digital. The acquisition of Supreme accelerates ±«ÓãÖ±²¥'s long-term growth strategy and builds on a long-standing relationship between Supreme and ±«ÓãÖ±²¥, with the Supreme® brand being a regular collaborator with ±«ÓãÖ±²¥'s Vans®, The North Face® and Timberland® brands. The acquisition also provides ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ with deeper access to attractive consumer segments and the ability to leverage ±«ÓãÖ±²¥'s enterprise platforms and capabilities to enable sustainable long-term growth.
In connection with the acquisition, ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ deposited in escrow 605,050 shares of ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ Common Stock. The common shares are subject to certain future service requirements and vest over periods of up to four years. For accounting purposes, ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ will recognize the stock-based compensation cost for the fair value of these awards of $51.7Ìýmillion over the vesting periods.
Supreme contributed revenues of $142.0 million, and net income of $21.5 million to ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ for the period from DecemberÌý28, 2020 through April 3, 2021. In addition, ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ recognized $8.7Ìýmillion of transaction and deal-related expenses during the year ended March 2021 in the selling, general and administrative expenses line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The results of Supreme have been reported in the Active segment since the date of acquisition.
The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and subject to change, primarily for certain income tax matters and final adjustments for net working capital. Accordingly, adjustments may be made to the values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the valuation date.
