Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
On September 13, 2021, Spire Global, Inc. (“Spire”) and exactEarth Ltd. (“exactEarth”) announced that they had entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the “Agreement”) for Spire to acquire exactEarth for a combination of cash and Spire stock (the “Acquisition”). As of October 8, 2021, the estimated total consideration to be paid to exactEarth shareholders is approximately $187.2 million (US$149.6 million). The cash portion of the consideration for the Acquisition is estimated to be approximately $136.7 million (US$109.2 million) and the stock portion of the consideration is estimated to be 5,232,914 shares of Spire valued at approximately $50.5 million (US$40.4 million).
On August 16, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Spire Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a NavSight Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our predecessor company (“NavSight”)), consummated its previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the terms of that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated February 28, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among NavSight, NavSight Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of NavSight (“NavSight Merger Sub”), Spire Global Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a Spire Global, Inc.) (“Old Spire”), and Peter Platzer, Theresa Condor, Jeroen Cappaert, and Joel Spark (collectively, the “Founders”) (such consummation, the “Closing”).
As Spire has not issued consolidated financial statements since the Closing of the Business Combination, Spire management believes that the pro forma financial information incorporated by reference from Spire’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 dated September 22, 2021 as filed with the SEC on September 23, 2021 (“Form S-1”) which reflects the pro forma financial information of the consummation of the Business Combination (“historical pro forma of Spire”) provide a reasonable basis for the ensuing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (“pro formas”).
The following pro formas are based on the historical pro forma financial statements of Spire, contained in the Form S-1 dated September 22, 2021 as filed with the SEC on September 23, 2021, and the historical consolidated financial statements of exactEarth, and has been prepared to reflect the Acquisition. The pro formas are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect the results of operations or the financial position of Spire that actually would have resulted had the Business Combination and Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2020 for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations and June 30, 2021 for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, nor project the results of operations or financial position of Spire for any future date or period.
The accounting policies under U.S. GAAP used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are those set forth in Spire’s consolidated financial statements included in its Form S-1 dated September 22, 2021 as filed with the SEC on September 23, 2021.
The accounting policies of exactEarth under IFRS are as described in Note 2 to its historical consolidated financial statements which have been included in exactEarth’s 2020 Annual report.
exactEarth’s historical consolidated financial statements (“exactEarth’s financial statements”) were prepared in accordance with IFRS, which differs in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. The preliminary conversion of the exactEarth historical consolidated financial statements from IFRS to U.S. GAAP, including the impact of conforming to U.S. GAAP accounting policies as applied by Spire, and the translation from Canadian dollar amounts (“$”) into U.S. dollars (“US $”) is discussed further in Note 2 below.
The pro formas are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect the results of operations or the financial position of Spire that actually would have resulted had the Acquisition occurred on the dates indicated, nor project the results of operations or financial position of Spire for any future dates or periods. The pro forma statements of operations were developed assuming the Acquisition closed on January 1, 2020, while the pro forma balance sheet was developed assuming the Acquisition closed on June 30, 2021.
Pro forma adjustments reflected in the pro forma statements of operations are based on items that are factually supportable, which are directly attributable to the Acquisition. These pro formas do not reflect the future potential cost of any integration activities or benefits from the Acquisition including potential synergies that may be generated in future periods.
