Business Acquisitions BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
Eyce LLC

On March 2, 2021, we acquired substantially all the assets of Eyce LLC ("Eyce"), a designer and manufacturer of pipes, bubblers, rigs, and other smoking and vaporization-related accessories and merchandise. We acquired Eyce to take advantage of expected synergies, which include increased margins from the direct integration of one of our top-selling product lines into our offerings of Greenlane Brand products and the enlistment of key talent in Eyce's founding owners.

We accounted for the Eyce acquisition as a business combination under the acquisition method under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Eyce has been consolidated in our condensed consolidated financial statements commencing on March 2, 2021, the date of acquisition. "Net sales" and "net loss" in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss
for the three months ended March 31, 2021 includes de minimis revenue and net income of Eyce from the date of acquisition through March 31, 2021. We recognized approximately $0.3 million in acquisition-related costs, which were included within "general and administrative" expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
We paid total consideration valued at $8.1 million, which consisted of the following:
(in thousands) Purchase Consideration
Cash $ 2,403 
Class A common stock 2,005 
Promissory note 2,503 
Contingent consideration - payable in cash 609 
Contingent consideration - payable in Class A common stock 609 
Total purchase consideration $ 8,129 
The contingent consideration arrangement requires us to make contingent payments based on the achievement of certain revenue and EBITDA performance targets for the years ending December 31, 2021 and 2022, as set forth in the acquisition agreement. We estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration by using a Monte Carlo simulation that includes significant unobservable inputs such as the risk-free rate, risk-adjusted discount rate, the volatility of the underlying financial metrics and projected financial forecast of the acquired business over the earn-out period.
The initial accounting for the acquisition is incomplete primarily due to the timing of the closing of the acquisition relative to the timing of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of 2021. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation and the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired at the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocation is preliminary pending completion of the fair value analysis of the acquired assets.
(in thousands) Estimated Fair Value
as of Acquisition Date
Inventory $ 92 
Developed technology 1,738 
Trade name 1,294 
Customer relationships 165 
Goodwill 4,840 
Total purchase price $ 8,129 

Goodwill generated from the acquisition is primarily related to the value we placed on expected business synergies. The assignment of goodwill recognized from this business combination to reporting units has also not yet been completed as of the date of these financial statements. We anticipate that all of the goodwill recognized will be deductible for income tax purposes.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The following table presents pro forma results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 as if our acquisition of Eyce had occurred on January 1, 2020, and Eyce's results had been included in our consolidated results beginning on that date (in thousands):
Three months ended March 31
2021 2020
(Unaudited)
Net Sales $ 34,161  $ 33,959 
Cost of Goods Sold 26,772  26,573 
Gross Profit 7,389  7,386 
Net Loss $ (7,982) $ (17,024)

The pro forma amounts have been calculated after applying our accounting policies to the financial statements of Eyce and adjusting the combined results of Greenlane and Eyce (a) to remove Eyce product sales to us and to remove the cost incurred by us related to products purchased from Eyce prior to the acquisition, and (b) to reflect the increased amortization expense that would have been charged assuming intangible assets identified in the acquisition of Eyce had been recorded on January 1, 2020.
The impact of the Eyce acquisition on the actual results reported by us in subsequent periods may differ significantly from that reflected in this pro forma information for a number of reasons, including but not limited to, non-achievement of the expected synergies from these combinations and changes in the regulatory environment. As a result, the pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what our financial condition or results of operations would have been had the acquisition been completed on the applicable date of this pro forma financial information. In addition, the pro forma financial information does not purport to project our future financial condition and results of operations.

Pending Merger with KushCo Holdings, Inc.
On March, 31, 2021, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with KushCo Holdings, Inc. (“KushCo”). If completed, Greenlane’s merger with KushCo will create the leading ancillary cannabis products and service company. The combined company (the “Combined Company”) will serve a premier group of customers, which includes many of the leading multi-state-operators and licensed producers, the top smoke shops in the United States, and millions of consumers. The Combined Company will retain the name “Greenlane Holdings, Inc.” and will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbol “GNLN.” Greenlane will be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, KushCo’s stockholders will receive a number of shares of Greenlane’s Class A common stock based on the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement) for each share of KushCo common stock, which Exchange Ratio is subject to adjustment as described in the Merger Agreement. The exchange is expected to result in existing KushCo stockholders owning approximately 49.9% of the common stock of the Combined Company and existing Greenlane stockholders owning approximately 50.1% of the Combined Company’s common stock after consummation of the merger. In the event of an adjustment to the Exchange Ratio, existing KushCo stockholders will own no less than 48.1%, and existing Greenlane stockholders will own no more than 51.9%, of the Combined Company’s common stock. Greenlane will also assume KushCo’s outstanding stock options and warrants, which will be converted into fully vested stock options and warrants to purchase Greenlane’s Class A common stock, generally using the same Exchange Ratio (subject to adjustment as described above). The aggregate value of the merger consideration will fluctuate based upon changes in the price of Greenlane Class A common stock and the number of shares of KushCo common stock, stock options, and warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, as well as any adjustments to the Exchange Ratio provided in the Merger Agreement.
The completion of the merger is subject to conditions of the Merger Agreement, including obtaining the requisite approvals from stockholders of Greenlane and KushCo, as well as approvals from the Nasdaq and certain regulators. We expect the merger to be completed in the second half of 2021, but can provide no assurances that the merger will close on that timeline or at all.
