Asset Acquisition
On March 31, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets and liabilities associated with the AAG Transaction for a total purchase consideration of $215.4 million.
The Company has determined that the AAG Transaction should be considered an asset acquisition, because substantially all of the fair value of the acquired assets was concentrated in a single group of similar assets. Under the accounting for asset acquisitions, the acquisition is recorded using a cost accumulation and allocation model under which the cost of the acquisition is allocated on a relative fair value basis to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. Acquisition-related transaction costs are capitalized as a component of the cost of the assets acquired. Consequently, no goodwill was recognized as part of this transaction.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the consideration transferred and the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in relation to the March 31, 2023 acquisition (in thousands):

(1) Bloom Retirement Holdings Inc., formerly known as American Advisors Group ("Seller" or "AAG/Bloom") is entitled to one share of FoA Class B Common Stock. Class B Common Stock has no economic rights but entitles each holder of at least one such share (regardless of the number of shares held) to a number of votes that is equal to the aggregate number of Class A LLC Units held by the holder on all matters on which Class A Common Stockholders are entitled to vote. The fair value of the Class B Common Stock was determined to be negligible as there are no economic rights associated with the Class B Common Stock.
(2) At the closing of the AAG Transaction, FoA Equity issued 19,692,990 units of Class A LLC units to the Seller, which hold 1:1 conversion rights for Class A Common Stock of FoA. At the closing date, the fair value of these Class A LLC units were equal to the Class A Common Stock share price of $1.24 per share.
(3) The deferred equity consideration is comprised of two forms of issuable Class A LLC Units; 7,058,416 units with a fair value of $8.7 million that are equity classified and indemnity holdback units totaling up to 7,142,260 units with a fair value of $4.4 million that are liability classified.
The indemnity holdback units to be issued to the Seller are based on set thresholds and, subject to meeting the control condition, are settled two and three years following the closing date. The amount of units released to the Seller depends on the dollar amount of indemnified claims FoA pays out on behalf of the Seller related to litigation liabilities and indemnifiable loan losses. Two years following the closing date, FoA Equity will issue to the Seller Class A LLC units equal to the excess of the remaining indemnity holdback units over the threshold of 3,571,130. The remaining Class A LLC units the Seller are entitled
to are issued three years following the closing date. Management has included the fair value of indemnity holdback units, reduced for estimated litigation liabilities and indemnifiable loan losses, above in the consideration given to the Seller.
(4)Amounts represent the cash portion of the consideration paid to acquire the net assets of AAG/Bloom. Total cash consideration was $140.9 million.
