Anticipated Accounting for the Business Combination
The Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization in accordance with IFRS. Under this method of accounting, FLAC will be treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes. As FLAC does not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3 – Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”), the net assets of FLAC will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. As a result of the Business Combination and related transactions, the existing shareholders of NewAmsterdam Pharma will continue to retain control through their majority ownership of Holdco.
NewAmsterdam Pharma has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on an evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:
| • | | Former NewAmsterdam Pharma’s shareholders have the largest voting interest in Holdco; |
| • | | Former members of NewAmsterdam Pharma’s senior management makes up a majority of the senior management of Holdco; |
| • | | The business of NewAmsterdam Pharma comprises the ongoing operations of Holdco; and |
| • | | NewAmsterdam Pharma is the larger entity, in terms of substantive operations and employee base. |
As FLAC does not meet the definition of a business in accordance with IFRS 3, the Business Combination is accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2 – Share-based Payment (“IFRS 2”). Any excess of the fair value of Holdco Shares issued to FLAC Shareholders over the fair value of FLAC’s identifiable net assets acquired represents compensation for the service of a stock exchange listing for its shares provided by FLAC and is expensed as incurred.
