Merger and Acquisition
MERGER AND ACQUISITION
The Merger    
As discussed in Note 1, Background and Basis of Presentation, Tellurian Investments merged with a subsidiary of Magellan on February 10, 2017. The Merger has been accounted for as a “reverse acquisition," with Tellurian Investments being treated as the accounting acquirer using the acquisition method.
The total consideration exchanged was as follows (in thousands, except share and per-share amounts):
Number of shares of Magellan common stock outstanding (1)
 
5,985,042

 
Price per share of Magellan common stock (2)
 
$
14.21

 
Aggregate value of Tellurian common stock issued

(1) The number of shares of Magellan common stock issued and outstanding as of February 9, 2017.
(2) The closing price of Magellan common stock on the NASDAQ on February 9, 2017.
(3) The estimated fair value of Magellan stock options for pre-Merger services rendered.
We utilized estimated fair values at the Merger Date for the allocation of consideration to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary purchase price allocation to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction was as follows (in thousands):

Goodwill as a result of the Merger
 
$
77,592


We valued our interests acquired in unproved oil and gas properties using a market approach based on commercial negotiations and bids received for the interests (see Note 6, Property, Plant and Equipment, for more information about the properties). The fair value of other property, plant and equipment and wells in progress was determined to be the carrying value of Magellan. Securities available-for-sale were valued based on quoted market prices. The carrying values of cash, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other non-current assets and liabilities approximated fair value at the Merger Date. The Company has determined that such fair value measures for the overall allocation are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Goodwill initially recognized as a result of the Merger totaled $77.6 million, none of which is deductible for income tax purposes. Subsequent to the Merger, the Company determined that there is no evidence that we will recover the value of this goodwill. For purposes of determining the goodwill impairment, we utilized qualitative factors as well as the fair values determined when allocating consideration as of the Merger Date.
Parallax Services Acquisition
On April 9, 2016, Tellurian Investments acquired Parallax Services, which was renamed Tellurian Services, with equity consideration valued at $1 million. The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method. As of September 30, 2017, goodwill of $1.2 million on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was entirely related to the acquisition of Parallax Services.
