NIB Acquisition
On April 24, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of National Insurance Brokerage, LLC ("NIB"), a Delaware limited liability company (the “NIB Acquisition”). NIB was owned by Jay Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, who held a 25% beneficial interest in NIB, and KMG Group Holdings, LLC ("KMG"), who held a 75% beneficial interest in NIB (the "Sellers"). KMG is equally owned by Matthew Ganovsky, K. Scott Kirby, and Sean McNealy, Co-Founders and Presidents of the Company. The Company paid approximately $2.1 million in cash, net of cash acquired, to acquire 100% of the interest in NIB.
The NIB Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), which requires the Company to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the acquisition date. The values attributed to intangible assets were based on valuations prepared using Level 3 inputs and assumptions in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”).
Goodwill related to the NIB Acquisition was assigned to the Life Solutions reportable segment. It represents the value that we expect to obtain from growth opportunities from our combined operations and is deductible for tax purposes.
The Company finalized the valuations related to the acquired assets and liabilities of NIB on June 30, 2025. The following table presents the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in connection with the business combination.

AccuQuote Acquisition
On August 14, 2025 (“AccuQuote Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired 100% of Life Distributors, LLC (“AccuQuote”), a Delaware limited liability company (“AccuQuote Acquisition”). AccuQuote is an insurance brokerage firm. The Company used its note receivable balance of approximately $9.3 million due from AccuQuote as consideration as result of the AccuQuote’s default on the note (non-cash consideration). The value of the note receivable balance on the AccuQuote Acquisition Date approximated fair value. The Company acquired approximately $0.3 million of cash and paid approximately $0.8 million in acquisition costs.
The Company evaluated whether the transaction should be accounted for as (i) a loan settlement within the scope of ASC 310-20-40-2 or (ii) a business combination within the scope of ASC 805. As part of the Company’s evaluation of AccuQuote, the April 2025 financing was structured to provide the Company with creditor protections and an enforceable mechanism to obtain control upon the occurrence of defined events of default. Because the Company obtained control of AccuQuote by exercising a contractual call right upon an event of default as defined in the note agreement and acquiring 100% ownership, and because AccuQuote met the definition of a business (including inputs and processes capable of producing outputs), the Company concluded the transaction was a business combination under ASC 805. In addition, until the event of default and election to enforce remedies, AccuQuote remained independent and the Company held only creditor rights. Accordingly, the note receivable (including accrued amounts) was treated as consideration transferred in the acquisition rather than accounted for as a standalone loan settlement under ASC 310-20.
The Company assessed the note receivable prior to the acquisition date and concluded that no allowance for credit losses (ACL) was required and that the carrying amount approximated fair value on the acquisition date. In making these conclusions, the Company considered that (1) the note was secured by 100% of AccuQuote’s assets, including its equity interests, and the Company’s contractual remedies provided a recovery mechanism, (2) the default was related to specified financial covenant and financial metric noncompliance rather than an inability to generate cash flows, and (3) the Company did not
identify indicators of material operational deterioration through the default date. The Company also considered that the note was originated approximately 4.5 months prior to the acquisition on negotiated terms, and the Company’s expected recovery under the note was supported by the secured structure and available remedies. The financing and related contractual remedies were designed to provide the Company with multiple paths to value realization—repayment under the note or, upon a defined event of default, the ability to obtain control through enforcement—consistent with the transaction’s economic substance. Therefore, the Company concluded that the note’s carrying value was approximately equal to its fair value at the time of acquisition.
The AccuQuote Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, which requires the Company to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the acquisition date. The values attributed to intangible assets were based on valuations prepared using Level 3 inputs and assumptions in accordance with ASC 820.
Goodwill related to the AccuQuote Acquisition was assigned to the Life Solutions reportable segment. It represents the value that we expect to obtain from growth opportunities from our combined operations and is deductible for tax purposes.
The Company finalized the valuations related to the acquired assets and liabilities of AccuQuote, except for acquired receivables, accrued expenses, and other liabilities. Accordingly, these estimates are subject to change during the measurement period, which is up to one year from the AccuQuote Acquisition Date, as permitted under GAAP. Any potential adjustments could be material in relation to the values presented in the table below. No adjustments were made to the valuation for the period ended March 31, 2026.
The following table presents the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in connection with the business combination.
