NOTE 3—ADJUSTMENTS TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 includes the following adjustments:
a—Represents incremental share-based compensation expense expected to be recognized by the combined company subsequent to the Transactions. This incremental compensation expense relates to 96.8 million BlackSky restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that (1) were issued in February, March, and June of 2021, (2) remained outstanding as of the transaction date, and (3) require the commencement of expense recognition due to consummation of the Transactions, since the merger between BlackSky and Osprey (the “Merger”) satisfied the restricted stock units’ performance-based vesting condition. Vesting terms vary amongst the granted RSUs based upon both the grant date and the specific vesting terms attributed to certain of the awards; however, each award provides for (A) the vesting of 25%, 50%, or 100% of the granted RSUs on that date which is 180 days subsequent to consummation of the Merger (the “Initial Vesting Date”) and (B) subsequent vesting of the remainder of the granted RSUs on a monthly or quarterly basis in accordance with the terms of the respective underlying grant agreement. Although certain awards provide for the acceleration of the Initial Vesting Date if, prior to 180 days subsequent to the consummation of the Merger, (a) the combined company were to enter into certain specified transactions post-Merger or (b) the combined company’s common stock closes above a specified per share price, for a specified number of days, over a defined trading period, the Initial Vesting Date has been assumed to be 180 days subsequent to consummation of the Merger for purposes of preparing the pro forma income statements for the periods ended December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021.
As the Merger is assumed to have occurred on January 1, 2020 for purposes of the preparation of this pro forma income statement information, the estimated incremental share-based compensation expense attributable to the 12-month period immediately subsequent to consummation of the Merger has been reflected in tickmark “aa” to the December 31, 2020 pro forma income statement. This adjustment reflects the incremental stock-based compensation expense that would be recognized for the RSUs over the six-month period that immediately follows the initial 12 months of expense recognition. This pro forma adjustment and pro forma adjustment “aa” to the December 31, 2020 pro forma income statement exclude the recognition of stock-based compensation expense related to 4,768,428 RSUs, with an aggregate fair value of approximately $3.6 million, that were issued during June 2021 and August 2021, and for which vesting will commence upon the later of 180 days subsequent to consummation of the Merger and the one-year anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date. These RSUs were excluded from the pro forma adjustments, as (1) the Initial Vesting Date is not solely based upon the passage of a specified period of time subsequent to the consummation of the Merger and (2) the application of an Initial Vesting Date based upon the one-year anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date could not be sufficiently aligned to the pro forma income statement assumption that the Transactions occurred on January 1, 2020. Aggregate share-based compensation expense that would be recognized for the excluded RSUs on the one-year anniversary of their Vesting Commencement Date and during each of the first two quarters occurring immediately subsequent to the one-year anniversary of the RSUs Vesting Commencement Date is estimated to be approximately $0.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Refer to balance sheet tickmark “T” for the impact that this pro forma adjustment to capture incremental stock-based compensation expense has on the combined company’s accumulated deficit. Also, refer to balance sheet tickmark “R” for the impact of the vesting of RSUs on the combined company’s additional paid-in capital.
b—Represents the elimination of interest income and unrealized gains earned on cash equivalents held in Osprey’s Trust Account during the period. Cash equivalents, net of redemptions (refer to balance sheet tickmark “S”), were released from Osprey’s Trust Account and became available for general use by the combined company upon consummation of the merger.
c—Represents the elimination of (1) the $14.7 million unrealized loss attributable to certain outstanding Series B preferred stock warrants, Series C preferred Stock warrants, and Class A common stock warrants reported as liabilities on BlackSky’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 (and through the date of the Transactions) and (2) the $0.3 million unrealized loss attributable to certain debt issuance costs (i.e., the Intelsat and Seahawk/Thales consent fees) reported as a derivative liability on BlackSky’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 (and through the date of the Transactions), since each lender had the option to have the fees due to them settled for a variable number of shares, instead of cash. Based upon the accounting treatment applicable to the warrants and the consent fees, BlackSky historically recognized changes in their fair value between reporting periods in its income statement. Upon consummation of the Transactions, the warrants were exercised for shares of BlackSky’s Series B preferred stock, Series C preferred stock, and Class A common stock, and those shares were immediately exchanged for shares of Osprey common stock at the applicable exchange ratio. As the warrants were exercised and the consent fees were settled upon consummation of the Transactions, the combined company is not expected to incur similar future unrealized losses (or unrealized gains) attributable to these liability classified financial instruments.
