 NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise noted)

Note 1.  Description of the Transaction

On January 22, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Luxco, and subsequently completed the merger on April 1, 2021. Luxco is a leading branded beverage alcohol company across various categories, with a more than 60-year business heritage. Following the merger, the Luxco Companies became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The aggregate preliminary consideration paid by the Company in connection with the merger was $237,500 in cash (less assumed indebtedness) and 5,007,833 shares of common stock of the Company, subject to adjustment for fractional shares (the “Company Shares,” and together with the cash portion, the “Merger Consideration”). The Company Shares were valued at $296,213 on the closing date and represent approximately 22.8 percent of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately following the closing of the merger. The cash portion of the Merger Consideration, the repayment of assumed debt, and transaction-related expenses were financed with a $242,300 borrowing under the Credit Agreement which was drawn down on April 1, 2021.

The preliminary Merger Consideration included a preliminary estimated purchase price adjustment related to, among other things, net working capital, acquired cash and assumed debt. In September 2021, the parties finalized the purchase price adjustment, which decreased the cash consideration paid by approximately $608 and increased the stock consideration by an additional 1,373 shares from the preliminary amounts that were paid at closing.
Note 2.  Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 and the unaudited pro forma combined statement of incomes for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and for the year to date ended June 30, 2021 are based on the historical financial statements of MGP and the combined financial statements of Luxco. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet was prepared using the MGP condensed consolidated balance sheet, the Luxco combined balance sheet and gives effect to the transaction as if it had occurred on March 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of income were prepared using the MGP condensed consolidated statements of income, the Luxco combined statement of income and gives effect to the transaction as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements were accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with business combination accounting guidance as provided by Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company allocates the purchase price of a business acquisition based on the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill is recognized to the extent that the purchase consideration exceeds the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company uses its best estimate and third party valuation specialists to determine the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the measurement period, which can be up to one year after the acquisition date, the Company can make adjustments to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the offset being an adjustment to goodwill.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the future periods. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements were based on Transaction Accounting Adjustments and do not reflect any operating efficiencies, synergies or cost savings that the Company may achieve, or any additional operating expenses that may be incurred with respect to the combined company.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with MGP’s historical unaudited financial statements and related notes included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 which was filed with the SEC on May 5, 2021, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 which was filed with the SEC on August 4, 2021, and the historical combined financial statements of Luxco which are included in Exhibit 99.1 of this filing on Form 8-K.

Note 3.  Estimated Merger Consideration and Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The transaction was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, and as such, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration transferred were recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The fair value of the assets and liabilities in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based upon a preliminary assessment of fair value and may change as valuations for certain tangible assets, intangible assets and contingent liabilities are finalized and the associated income tax impacts are determined. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no longer than one year from the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the consideration paid for Luxco to the preliminary estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, with the excess recorded to goodwill.
