NOTE T - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Reverse Merger

As described in Note A - Organization and Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation above, the Company consummated the Merger dated December 22, 2020 with AerSale Aviation and in connection therewith, Monocle merged with and into the Company, whereby the Company survived the Merger and became the successor issuer to Monocle by operation of Rule 12g-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company directly acquired AerSale Aviation for aggregate consideration of $317.2 million, consisting of approximately $13.1 million in cash and 30,410,540 shares of Company Common Stock at $10.00 per share. As additional consideration, the pre-Merger holders of AerSale Aviation common stock and the holders of in-the-money SARs received a contingent right to receive up to 3,746,876 additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which were issued in 2021. The Merger has been accounted for as a Reverse Recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For accounting purposes, Monocle is considered the “acquired” company and AerSale Aviation is considered the “acquirer.” The Company received cash proceeds in the amount of $48.6 million resulting from the Merger, which was recorded as additional paid in capital.

ACT Acquisition

On January 7, 2020, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Aircraft Component Technologies, Inc. (ACT), a Florida corporation located in Miami, Florida, for $17.0 million in cash. The purpose of the acquisition was to improve the Company’s profitability by enhancing service in its TechOps segment. The results of ACT operations have

been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. All assets and liabilities of ACT were recorded at their fair market value, and to the extent that the purchase cost exceeded the fair market value of the net assets, that excess was recorded as goodwill, all of which is deductible for federal income tax purposes. The goodwill is attributable to the general reputation of the business and the collective experience of ACT’s management and employees. ACT’s revenues and income from operations from January 7, 2020 through December 31, 2020 were $6.5 and $0.7 million, respectively.
