Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been adjusted to include transaction accounting adjustments related to the Business Combination in accordance with GAAP.
We determined that the Business Combination qualified as a common control transaction and, therefore, was accounted for akin to a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Legacy ProKidney is considered the accounting acquirer primarily based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:
Under the guidance in ASC 805 for transactions between entities under common control, the assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interests of Legacy ProKidney and SCS were recognized at their carrying amounts on the date of the Business Combination. Under this method of accounting, SCS was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy ProKidney issuing stock for the net assets of SCS, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of SCS were stated at their historical value within the pro formas with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
| • | | The individual controlling Legacy ProKidney prior to the Business Combination also controls the combined company as a result of the Voting Agreement, which provides Tolerantia with the majority of the votes related to the appointment and removal of the majority of the Board; |
| • | | The Legacy ProKidney unitholders prior to the Closing comprise a majority of the voting power of the combined company following the Closing; |
| • | | Senior management of Legacy ProKidney prior to the Closing comprise the senior management of the combined company following the Closing; and |
| • | | The operations of Legacy ProKidney prior to the Closing comprise the ongoing operations of the combined company following the Closing. |
Upon completion of the Business Combination, GP became the sole general partner of Legacy ProKidney. Giving effect to the redemption of 22,829,769 Class A ordinary shares, ProKidney has the sole voting interest in Legacy ProKidney through its ownership of GP. As a result, ProKidney consolidated the financial results of Legacy ProKidney and reports a non controlling interest related to the Post-Combination ProKidney Units held by Legacy ProKidney’s investors prior to the Closing on ProKidney’s consolidated balance sheet. The computation of the non controlling interest following the Closing, is as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Units | | | Percentage | |
Interest in ProKidney LP held by the Issuer | | | 61,540,231 | | | | 25.5 | % |
Noncontrolling interest in the Issuer | | | 180,000,000 | | | | 74.5 | % |
| | | | | | | | |
Total | | | 241,540,231 | | | | 100.0 | % |

Proposed Accounting Treatment of the Earnout Rights
As discussed in this Note 1, the Earnout Participants received 17,500,000 Earnout Rights upon Closing. Upon satisfaction, during the five-year period after the Closing, of certain volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) thresholds, or a change in control with a per share price exceeding the VWAP thresholds within a five-year period immediately following the Closing, the Earnout Rights will automatically vest and convert into Post-Combination ProKidney Common Units and ProKidney Class B ordinary shares. As the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, the issuance of the Earnout Rights to the Legacy ProKidney unitholders was accounted for as an equity transaction. Since the Earnout Rights were payable to the Legacy ProKidney unitholders (i.e., the accounting acquirer in the business combination), the accounting for the Earnout Rights arrangement did not fall under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations nor Topic 718, Stock Compensation.
