Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information (Unaudited)
The following unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and the unaudited pro forma combined financial information present the combination of the historical consolidated financial information of Bridge Investment Group Holdings Inc. (“Bridge”) and Newbury Partners LLC (“Newbury”), adjusted to give effect to the acquisition of Newbury Partners LLC (the “Newbury Acquisition”) and related transactions as further described in Note 1. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and the unaudited pro forma combined financial information is derived and should be read in conjunction with:
•Bridge’s historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023 and its unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023, included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 9, 2023;
•Bridge’s historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2023;
•Newbury’s historical audited consolidated statement of operations and the accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A as Exhibit 99.1.
•The accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023 was prepared as if the Acquisition occurred on March 31, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022 were prepared as if the Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2022. The pro forma adjustments give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Acquisition, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results. Included in the pro forma financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 is $3.5 million and $4.6 million of non-recurring transaction costs that were incurred by Bridge and Newbury, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses for the period then ended. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings and synergies expected to result from the Acquisition (and associated costs to achieve such savings or synergies), nor any costs associated with restructuring or integration activities resulting from the Acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared by management for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the results of operations, financial condition or other financial information of Bridge would have been if the Acquisition had occurred as of the dates indicated or what such results or financial condition will be for any future periods. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is based on preliminary estimates and assumptions and on the information available at the time of the preparation thereof. Any of these preliminary estimates and assumptions may change, be revised or prove to be materially different, and the estimates and assumptions may not be representative of facts existing at the time of the Acquisition.

1.Description of Transaction
On March 31, 2023, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), dated as of February 13, 2023, by and among Bridge Investment Group Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (a controlled subsidiary of Bridge Investment Group Holdings Inc. (“Bridge”)) (the “Operating Company”), Newbury Partners-Bridge LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (an indirect majority owned subsidiary of the Operating Company, the “Buyer”), Newbury Partners LLC (“Newbury”), a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), Richard Lichter, an individual, and RLP Navigator LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“RidgeLake,” and together with Richard Lichter, the “Newbury Holders”), the Buyer completed the purchase of substantially all of the Seller’s assets, assumed certain of the Seller’s liabilities and paid the Seller $320.1 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
The cash consideration for the Newbury Acquisition was financed with $150 million of proceeds from a private placement offering, $150 million of proceeds from the Operating Company’s Credit Facility, cash on hand and through the assumption of certain Newbury liabilities totaling $0.7 million.
On March 29, 2023, the Operating Company entered into a $150.0 million note purchase agreement pursuant to which the Operating Company issued two tranches of notes in a private placement offering. The transaction consisted of $120.0 million of 6.0% notes with a seven-year term maturing on March 29, 2030 and $30.0 million of 6.1% notes with a ten-year term maturing on March 29, 2033 (the “2023 Private Placement Notes”).
On January 31, 2023, Bridge entered into an amendment to its Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”), pursuant to which (i) Bridge exercised its option to increase the total revolving commitments under the Credit Facility to $225.0 million, (ii) the variable interest rates under the applicable pricing grid were each increased by 15 basis points, and (iii) the quarterly unused commitment fee was increased to 0.25%. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest based on a pricing grid with a range of 2.65% to 3.15% over the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as determined by Bridge’s leverage ratio, or upon achievement of an investment grade rating, interest is then based on a range of 1.90% to 2.40% over Term SOFR. Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be repaid at any time during the term of the Credit Agreement, but the Credit Facility requires paydown at least once annually. The Credit Facility matures on June 3, 2024.
2.Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
The historical audited and unaudited financial statements of Bridge and Newbury were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Newbury financial information was derived from its internal records.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated and combined financial information presents the combination of the historical consolidated financial information of Bridge and Newbury, adjusted to give effect to the Newbury Acquisition. See the introduction to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information for a discussion of the assumptions, estimates and qualifications underlying the preparation of the unaudited pro forma combined financial information and the related adjustments.
The Newbury Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), with Bridge representing the accounting acquirer. ASC 805 requires that, among other things, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet includes the estimated acquisition date value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon management’s preliminary estimate of their acquisition date fair values.

3.Purchase Price Consideration and Allocation
The following is a summary of the components of the purchase price paid by Bridge to the Seller in the Newbury Acquisition (in thousands):
| | | | | |
Cash consideration(1) | $ | 319,364 | |
Liabilities assumed | 736 | |
Total purchase price | $ | 320,100 | |
(1) The cash consideration was funded utilizing net proceeds from the 2023 Private Placement Notes, the Credit Facility, and cash on hand.
The following is a summary of the preliminary allocation of the purchase price as of March 31, 2023 (the closing date of the Newbury Acquisition), based on preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):
| | | | | |
Net tangible acquired assets | $ | 76,675 | |
Trade name | 3,000 | |
Client relationship | 48,000 | |
Management contracts | 98,000 | |
Fair value of net identifiable assets acquired | $ | 225,675 | |
Non-controlling interest | (84,197) | |
Goodwill | 178,622 | |
Total assets acquired and liabilities assumed, net | $ | 320,100 | |
In connection with the Newbury Acquisition, Bridge allocated $98.0 million, $48.0 million, and $3.0 million of the purchase price to the fair value of management contracts, client relationships and trade name, respectively. The fair value of management contracts was estimated based upon estimated net cash flows generated from those contracts, discounted at 16.0%, with remaining lives estimated between 4 and 10 years for fund management contracts. The fair value of client relationships was estimated based upon estimated net cash flows expected to be generated under future management contracts, discounted at 22%, with a remaining estimated useful life of 14 years. The trade name was valued using a relief-from-royalty method, based on estimated savings from an avoided royalty rate of 1% on expected revenue discounted at 21.0%, with an estimated useful life of 10 years.
The carrying value of goodwill associated with Newbury was $178.6 million as of the Acquisition Date and is attributable to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of Newbury.
4.Reclassifications to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
•$66 thousand and $0.3 million, respectively of general and administrative expenses was reclassified into depreciation and amortization.
5.Transaction Accounting Adjustments
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The pro forma adjustments are based on estimates and assumptions, which Bridge believes are reasonable. These results are not necessarily indicative of Bridge’s consolidated financial condition or statements of operations in future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had Bridge and Newbury been a combined entity during the periods presented.
The following describes the adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022:
(A)A decrease in legacy Newbury accrued performance allocation income of $0.4 million and $14.8 million, respectively, and a corresponding elimination of performance allocations compensation, relating to certain carried interest arrangements held by Newbury that were not acquired by Bridge as part of the Newbury Acquisition but are included in the historical Newbury balances;
(B)Adjustments to compensation and benefits reflect the following:
(1)a decrease in compensation expense of $3.3 million and $10.1 million, respectively, that reflects compensation and related payroll taxes for services provided by the former Newbury manager, which will not continue following the consummation of the transaction due to the general partner interests acquired by Bridge;
