ACQUISITION ACQUISITION
On December 28, 2020, ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Supreme Holdings, Inc. ("Supreme") for $2.2Ìýbillion in cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments. The transaction also included $0.2Ìýbillion of cash acquired by ±«ÓãÖ±²¥. The purchase price was primarily funded with cash on hand. The purchase price decreased by $3.8Ìýmillion during the year ended March 2022, related to the final working capital adjustment.
The acquisition of Supreme includes a contingent arrangement that requires additional cash consideration to be paid to the selling shareholders of Supreme ranging from zero to $300.0 million, subject to the achievement of certain financial targets over the one-year earn-out period ended January 31, 2022. The initial estimated fair value of the contingent consideration of $207.0 million was included in the purchase price and reported
in the other liabilities line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 2021. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on the probability-weighted present value of various future cash payment outcomes. In subsequent reporting periods, the contingent consideration liability has been remeasured at fair value with changes recognized in the selling, general and administrative expenses line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 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.
For the year ended March 2022, Supreme contributed revenues of $561.5Ìýmillion and net income of $82.4 million. For the period
from DecemberÌý28, 2020 through April 3, 2021, Supreme contributed revenues of $142.0 million, and net income of $21.5 million. The results of Supreme have been reported in the Active segment since the date of acquisition. Total transaction expenses for the Supreme acquisition were $8.7Ìýmillion, all of which were recognized in the year ended March 2021 in the selling, general and administrative expenses line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Goodwill decreased by $0.7 million during the nine months ended December 2021 due to the net impact of a measurement period adjustment for income tax matters and the final working capital adjustment. The purchase price allocation was finalized during the three months ended December 2021.
