The purpose of these acquisitions was to expanded the Company’s infrastructure, environmental and project management services and allow NV5 Global to offer these services on a broader scale within its existing network. In addition, these acquisitions strengthen the Company’s geographic diversification and allows the Company to continue expanding its footprint. The acquisitions referenced above were accounted for as business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest, if any, were recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements at their respective fair values as of the acquisition dates, and the results of these acquisitions are included in the Company’s consolidated results from the respective dates of acquisition (see Note 4). Secondary offering On May 13, 2016, the Company priced a secondary offering of 1,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Firm Shares”). Each share was sold at an offering price of $26.25 per share. The shares sold were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on an effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333 -206644) pursuant to the Securities Act. In addition, the Company granted the underwriters of this secondary offering a 30 -day option to purchase an additional 255,000 shares (the “Option Shares”) of common stock to cover over-allotments. On May 18, 2016, the Company closed on the Firm Shares, for which we received net proceeds of approximately $41,000 after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company and issued 1,700,000 shares. On June 3, 2016, the Company closed on the full exercise of the Option Shares by the underwriters of the secondary offering with respect to an additional 255,000 shares of its common stock, for which we received net proceeds of approximately $6,200 after deducting the underwriters’ discount. On May 22, 2015, the Company priced a secondary offering of 1,430,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Each share was sold at an offering price of $19.50 per share. The shares sold were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on an effective registration statement on Form S-3 and an effective registration statement filed with the SEC on Form S-3MEF (Registration Nos. 333 -198113 and 333 -204362) pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act. On May 28, 2015, the underwriters of the offering exercised their option to purchase up to an additional 214,500 shares, solely to cover over-allotments. The closing of the offering occurred, and was recorded, on May 28, 2015, upon which we received net proceeds of approximately $29,400 after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company and issued 1,644,500 shares. Warrant exercise In conjunction with the Company’s initial public offering on March 26, 2013, the underwriter received a warrant to acquire up to 140,000 units (“Unit Warrant”). Each of these units consisted of one one warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.80 per share, which warrant expires on March 27, 2018. On March 23, 2016, the underwriter paid $1,008 to the Company to exercise of the Unit Warrant. On March 29, 2016, the Company delivered 140,000 shares of common stock to the underwriter, and, on May 5, 2016, the Company completed the exercise of the Unit Warrant by delivery of the underlying warrants. On January 5, 2015, in accordance with the amended and restated warrant agreements, the Company notified the holders of its outstanding public warrants that the Company had called its warrants for redemption. Each public warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.80 per share. The public warrant holders had until February 4, 2015 to exercise their public warrants at $7.80 per share. The redemption resulted in 408,412, or approximately 99%, of the Company’s outstanding public warrants being exercised prior to the expiration time and generated cash proceeds of approximately $3,200. The remaining 4,002 public warrants that were not exercised by the expiration time were cancelled and redeemed for the sum of $0.01 per public warrant. In connection with the redemption of all outstanding public warrants, the trading of the Company’s public warrants was suspended and the warrants were delisted from NASDAQ. |
