UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On December 31, 2021, in furtherance of its strategy to provide year-round engagement and to expand into one of the highest growth business sectors in North America, Emerald X, LLC (“Emerald X”), a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Emerald Holding Inc. (“we”, “us” or “Emerald”), executed an asset purchase agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets and assume certain liabilities associated with the business known and operated as MJBiz from Anne Holland Ventures, Inc. (“AHV”), a Rhode Island corporation, (the “MJBiz Acquisition”). The total estimated purchase price is $142.2 million, which included an initial cash payment of $118.2 million and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $24.0 million.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Emerald Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“we”, “us”, or “Emerald”), appearing in Emerald’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Emerald appearing in Emerald’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021 and the Anne Holland Ventures, Inc. and subsidiary (“AHV”) historical audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of AHV as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to Emerald’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Form 8-K/A) to which the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is being filed as Exhibit 99.3 as adjusted to illustrate the estimated pro forma effects of the MJBiz Acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786, the unaudited pro forma financial information has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information and the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet gives effect to the MJBiz Acquisition as if it had occurred on September 30, 2021. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations give effect to the MJBiz Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020.
The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The pro forma adjustments and certain assumptions underlying these adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma financial information. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled in accordance with the accounting policies of Emerald as set out in the historical financial statements of Emerald included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The MJBiz Acquisition has been accounted for and is presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information as a purchase business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. Under ASC 805, the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The pro forma adjustments reflect our estimates of the purchase price allocation related to the MJBiz Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet includes an estimate of fair value adjustments for property and equipment, intangible assets such as tradenames and customer relationships, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations includes estimates of incremental amortization expense associated with the above-described fair value adjustments. The pro forma adjustments do not include adjustments to deferred tax assets or liabilities as the transaction was deemed to be an asset sale for tax purposes. The structure of the transaction and certain elections we may make in connection with the MJBiz Acquisition and subsequent tax filings may impact the actual amount of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets that may need to be recognized.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained in this Exhibit 99.3 is for informational purposes only and is not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations or financial position that we would have reported had the MJBiz Acquisition been completed as of the dates presented and should not be taken as representative of our future consolidated results of operations or financial position.

2. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Emerald appearing in Emerald’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020; the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Emerald appearing in Emerald’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021; the audited consolidated financial statements of Anne Holland Ventures, Inc. (“AHV”) for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019; and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of AHV as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, filed as Exhibits 99.1, Anne Holland Ventures, Inc. and Subsidiary audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and 99.2, Anne Holland Ventures, Inc. and Subsidiary unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, to Emerald’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Form 8-K/A”) to which the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is being filed as Exhibit 99.3, as adjusted to illustrate the estimated pro forma effects of the MJBiz acquisition. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet gives effect to the MJBiz Acquisition as if it had occurred on September 30, 2021. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations give effect to the MJBiz Acquisition as if it had occurred as of January 1, 2020.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and have been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The pro forma adjustments and certain assumptions underlying these adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma financial information. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled in accordance with the accounting policies of Emerald as set out in the historical financial statements of Emerald included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 except for that in 2021 the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2021-08: Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, as reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information. There are no material differences between accounting policies of Emerald and AHV that would require adjustments or reclassification to conform to Emerald’s accounting policies.
The transaction accounting adjustments are described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma financial information. In the opinion of Emerald’s management, based on reviews of AHV’s historical audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, review of trial balances, certain discussions with AHV’s management and other procedures, all material adjustments have been made to state fairly, in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786, the pro forma financial information.
The unaudited pro forma financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), with all assets and liabilities assumed recognized and measured at assumed acquisition date fair value (as defined in Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) and transaction costs expensed

as incurred. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill.
The unaudited pro forma financial information presented is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of financial position or results of operations that would have been realized if the MJBiz Acquisition had been completed on the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of future operating results or financial position. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect any synergies that Emerald may achieve as a result of the MJBiz Acquisition, the costs to integrate the operations of MJBiz or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies and revenue enhancements. Within the unaudited pro forma information, certain historical AHV financial statement line items have been reclassified to conform to the Company’s historical consolidated financial statement presentation.
3. Acquisition Accounting
The allocation of the purchase price is based on management’s estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for a total estimated purchase price of $142.2 million, which included an initial cash payment of $118.2 million and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $24.0 million. These estimates, based on management’s judgement and analysis, resulted in the following allocation of purchase price:

Purchase price | | $ | 142.2 | |

The summary of estimated fair values and remaining useful lives of identifiable intangible assets are as follows:
(in millions) | Fair Value | | | Estimated Useful Life |
Customer relationships | $ | 23.3 | | | 5 Years |
Trade names | | 7.1 | | | 10 Years |
