Note 5. Business Combinations Acquisition of JW Stargazer Holding GmbH In January 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of JW Stargazer Holding GmbH, the owner of the international, premium outdoor apparel, gear and accessories brand, Jack Wolfskin, for 457,394,000 (including cash acquired of 50,984,000 ) or approximately $521,201,000 (including cash acquired of $58,096,000 ) (using the exchange rate in effect on the acquisition date), subject to working capital adjustments. The Company financed the acquisition with a Term Loan B facility in the aggregate principal amount of $480,000,000 (see Note 6 ). Jack Wolfskin designs premium outdoor apparel, gear and accessories targeted at the active outdoor and urban outdoor customer categories. This acquisition further enhanced the Company's lifestyle category and provided a platform for future growth in the active outdoor and urban outdoor categories, which the Company believes are complementary to its portfolio of brands and product capabilities. In addition, the Company realized synergies with respect to supply chain operations as well as warehousing and distribution activities. The Company allocated the purchase price to the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets and liabilities was allocated to goodwill. The Company determined the estimated fair values after review and consideration of relevant information as of the acquisition date, including discounted cash flows, quoted market prices and estimates made by management. The allocation of the purchase price presented below was based on management's estimate of the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. These valuation techniques incorporate the use of expected future revenues, cash flows and growth rates as well as estimated discount rates. Current and noncurrent assets and liabilities are valued at historical carrying values, which approximates fair value. Inventory was valued using the net realizable value approach, which was based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonable disposal costs and a profit on the disposal efforts. The customer and distributor relationships were valued under the income approach based on the present value of future earnings. The Company amortizes the fair value of these relationships over a 10-year period. The trade name was valued under the royalty savings income approach method, which is equal to the present value of the after-tax royalty savings attributable to owning the trade name as opposed to paying a third party for its use. For this valuation the Company used a royalty rate of 5.0% , which is reflective of royalty rates paid in market transactions, and a discount rate of 10.0% on the future cash flows generated by the net after-tax savings. The goodwill of $150,180,000 arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies that were expected from combining the operations of the Company and Jack Wolfskin. Due to the recent significant business disruptions and challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of goodwill and determined that the goodwill associated with its Jack Wolfskin reporting unit was impaired. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $148,375,000 in the second quarter of 2020, in addition to an impairment charge of $25,894,000 related to the Jack Wolfskin trade name (see Note 9 ). As of December 31, 2019, the Company completed its evaluation of information that existed as of the acquisition date and finalized the purchase price allocation of the underlying acquired assets and liabilities. The resulting adjustments were offset against goodwill. The final assessment included the completion of the market analysis of the operating leases assumed, and the completion of the fair value assessment of the deferred taxes acquired. As a non-taxable stock acquisition, the value attributable to the acquired intangible assets and goodwill are not tax deductible, accordingly, the Company recognized a net deferred tax liability of $77,079,000 , including a valuation reserve of $8,281,000 on certain deferred tax assets. In addition, the Company recognized certain adjustments on income taxes receivable and long-term income taxes payable. The Company's final assessment also included adjustments related to certain sales returns reserves and inventory obsolescence reserves, and adjustments to the useful lives of certain property, plant and equipment. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Apparel, Gear and Other operating segment. In connection with the acquisition, during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized transaction costs of approximately $9,987,000 , of which $6,326,000 was recognized in general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 . There were no transaction costs incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2019, or in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 . In addition, the Company recorded a loss of $3,215,000 in other income (expense) in the first quarter of 2019 upon the settlement of a foreign currency forward contract to mitigate the risk of foreign currency fluctuations on the purchase price, which was denominated in Euros (EUR). The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date based on the purchase price allocation (in thousands): At January 4, 2019 Assets Acquired Cash $ 58,096 Accounts receivable 26,637 Inventories 94,504 Income tax receivable 6,588 Other current assets 11,483 Property and equipment 20,930 Operating lease right-of-use assets 120,865 Deferred tax assets 2,930 Other assets 23 Intangibles - trade name (1) 239,295 Intangibles - retail partners &amp; distributor relationships 38,743 Goodwill (1) 150,180 Total assets acquired 770,274 Liabilities Assumed Accounts Payable and accrued liabilities 46,124 Income taxes payable, long-term 2,416 Operating lease liabilities 120,524 Deferred tax liabilities 80,009 Net assets acquired $ 521,201 (1) In the second quarter of 2020, the Company wrote down goodwill and the Jack Wolfskin trade name to their fair values, which resulted in impairment charges of $148,375,000 and $25,894,000 , respectively (see Note 9). Proposed Acquisition of Topgolf International, Inc. On October 27, 2020 , the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Topgolf in an all-stock transaction, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) by and among the Company, Topgolf and 51 Steps, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Callaway (Merger Sub). The Merger Agreement provides that, among other matters, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company will acquire Topgolf by way of a merger of Merger Sub with and into Topgolf, with Topgolf surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Callaway (the Merger). The Company currently estimates that it will issue approximately 90,000,000 shares of its common stock to the stockholders of Topgolf (excluding the Company) for 100% of the outstanding equity of Topgolf, using an exchange ratio based on an equity value of Topgolf of approximately $1,986,000,000 (or approximately $1,745,000,000 excluding Topgolf shares currently held by the Company) and a price per share of the Companys common stock fixed at $19.40 per share. The Company currently holds approximately 14.3% of Topgolf's outstanding shares. Upon completion of the Merger, the former Topgolf stockholders (other than the Company) are expected to own approximately 48.5% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis. The Company will also assume certain outstanding Topgolf stock options, which will be converted into options to purchase the Companys common stock, generally using the same exchange ratio. The Merger Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, either party may be required to pay the other party a termination fee of $75,000,000 . The Merger is expected to close in the first quarter of 2021, subject to shareholder approval and other customary conditions. In connection with the Merger, the Company will prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-4, in which a proxy statement will be included as a prospectus, to register the Companys common stock to be issued to Topgolf stockholders in connection with the Merger and solicit the approval of the Companys stockholders of the issuance of the Companys common stock that represents more than 20% of the shares of the Companys common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger to Topgolf stockholders in connection with the Merger, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange.
