Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION RELATING TO THE PURCHASE
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the purchase method of accounting, giving effect to the merger of Fells Point Wholesale Meats, Inc. (“Fells Point”) with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of The Chefs’ Warehouse, Inc. (the “Company”, “Chefs’”, “we”, or “us”), which was completed on August 25, 2017 (the “purchase”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2017 and for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2016 give effect to the purchase as if the purchase had been completed on December 26, 2015. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet at June 30, 2017 gives effect to the purchase as if the purchase had been completed on June 30, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial condition of the combined company had the purchase been completed on the dates described above, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of operations or financial position of the combined company.
The pro forma financial information includes adjustments to record assets and liabilities of Fells Point at their estimated respective fair values based on available information and to give effect to the financing for the purchase and related transactions. The Fells Point consolidated financial statements include Monroe Holdings, LLC (“Monroe”), a variable interest entity, because Fells Point was the guarantor of Monroe's mortgage obligation. The Company did not assume this guarantee thus the purchase excludes Monroe's net assets. The pro forma adjustments included herein are subject to change depending on changes in the components of assets and liabilities and as additional analyses are performed. Moreover, the actual purchase price for Fells Point is subject to adjustments based on the final calculation of Fells Point's net working capital as of the closing, with any adjustments based on Fells Point’s net working capital payable in cash. The preliminary purchase price may be increased or decreased based upon the final post-closing purchase price adjustments. The final allocation of the purchase price for Fells Point will be determined after completion of a thorough analysis to determine the fair value of the Fells Point’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities as of the date the purchase was completed. Increases or decreases in the purchase price and/or the estimated fair values of the net assets as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities, and may impact the Company’s statement of operations in future periods. Any changes to Fells Point’s stockholders’ equity, including results of operations from June 30, 2017, through the date the purchase was completed, will also change the purchase price allocation, which may include the recording of a higher or lower amount of goodwill. The final adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments presented herein.
The Company anticipates that the purchase will provide the combined company with financial benefits that include increased sales, additional customers, expanded geographic reach and enhanced capabilities in the center-of-the-plate protein category. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on a number of assumptions and estimates and is subject to uncertainties, and that information does not purport to be indicative of the actual results of operations or financial condition that would have occurred had the transactions described herein in fact occurred on the dates indicated, nor does it purport to be indicative of the results of operations or financial condition that we may achieve in the future. Such information does not reflect any cost savings from operating efficiencies, synergies or restructurings that could result from the purchase. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect additional revenue opportunities following the purchase nor does it reflect any additional overhead and infrastructure costs needed to fully integrate Fells Point into the Company. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not attempt to predict or suggest future results.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 1 Description of the Transaction
On August 25, 2017, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Fells Point, a specialty protein manufacturer and distributor based in the metro Baltimore and Washington DC area. The aggregate purchase price for the transaction at acquisition date was approximately $33,022, including the impact of an initial net working capital adjustment which is subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment true up. Approximately $29,722 was paid in cash at closing and the remaining $3,300 consisted of 185,442 shares of the Company's common stock.
The Company will also pay additional contingent consideration, if earned, in the form of an earn-out amount which could total approximately $12,000. The payment of the earn-out liability is subject to the successful achievement of Adjusted EBITDA targets for the Fells Point business. The Company estimated the fair value of this contingent earn-out liability to be $4,500 at acquisition.
Note 2 Basis of Preparation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from the historical financial information of the Company and Fells Point and was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 805 requires, among other things, that all assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the purchase date. In addition, ASC 805 establishes that the consideration transferred be measured at the closing date of the purchase at the then-current market price. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The Company anticipates that the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be finalized during the measurement period following the August 25, 2017 closing date.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings from operating efficiencies, synergies or restructurings that could result from the purchase. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect additional revenue opportunities following the purchase or additional overhead and infrastructure costs necessary to fully integrate Fells Point into the Company.
The historical financial statements for Fells Point are as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and for the the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

Note 5 Pro Forma Statement of Operations Adjustments
a) The Company records cost of sales based on the net purchase price paid for a product, including applicable freight charges incurred to deliver the product to its warehouse. This adjustment represents the effect of conforming Fells Point's historical cost of sales to the Company's presentation which resulted in a reclassification between cost of sales and operating expenses of $1,623 and $3,214 for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2017 and the fiscal year-ended December 30, 2016, respectively.
b) Represents the cost of sales adjustment noted in a) above, the amortization expense associated with the identifiable intangible assets acquired of $768 and $1,535 for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2017 and the fiscal year-ended December 30, 2016, respectively, estimated change in the fair value of the earn-out liability due to accretion of $203 and $405 for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2017 and the fiscal year-ended December 30, 2016, respectively, and additional rent expense on the Fells Point warehouse lease of $178 and $355 for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2017 and the fiscal year-ended December 30, 2016, respectively. These increases are partially offset by the removal of certain operating expenses, including depreciation expense related to assets that were not acquired as part of the Purchase totaling $61 and $118 for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2017 and the fiscal year-ended December 30, 2016, respectively.

This adjustment represents the estimated decrease in interest income earned on the Company's cash and cash equivalents, the estimated interest expense incurred on additional borrowings on the Company's asset based loan facility, and the elimination of interest expense incurred on Fells Point's debt which was not assumed in the Purchase. The estimated decrease in interest income was $79 and $29 for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2017 and the fiscal year-ended December 30, 2016, respectively, and the estimated increase in interest expense was $0 and $381 for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2017 and the fiscal year-ended December 30, 2016, respectively.
d) Represents the elimination of Fells Point's income tax expense and the recognition of an effective tax rate of 41.6% on the incremental income from the combined entity for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2017 and the fiscal year-ended December 30, 2016.
e) Represents the elimination of the non-controlling interest.
f) Represents the issuance of 185,442 shares of the Company's common stock, the non-cash portion of the purchase price.
