NOTE 3. RECENT TRANSACTIONS
During the year ended December 31, 2019, we completed or entered into the following transactions:
 
2019 Debt Transactions
During the year ended December 31, 2019, we completed repurchases of $18.7 million of the Notes for $16.8 million in cash, recognizing a net gain of $1.7 million after adjusting for bond issuance costs as detailed in Note 13—Long-Term Debt.
2019 Equity Transactions
Dividends of $5.8 million were declared and paid throughout the year ended December 31, 2019 based upon the Board of Directors’ then current assessment of our business as detailed in Note 20 – Equity Transactions.

2019 Acquisitions
On September 27, 2019, we closed on the acquisition of
KPAM-AM
in Portland, Oregon, valued at $1.0 million, in a
non-cash
exchange for radio station
KKOL-AM
in Seattle, Washington. We began operating
KPAM-AM
under a LMA on January 2, 2018. The accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations reflects the operating results of this station as of the LMA date within our broadcast segment.
On September 9, 2019, we closed on the acquisition of a construction permit for an FM translator in Louisville, Kentucky, for $35,000 in cash. The FM translator will be used by
WGTK-AM
in Louisville, Kentucky.
On July 25, 2019, we acquired the Journeyboxmedia.com website and related assets for $0.5 million in cash. We recorded goodwill of approximately $4,000 associated with the expected synergies to be realized upon combining the operations of Journeyboxmedia.com into our digital media platform within Salem Web Network (“SWN”) and from brand loyalty from its existing subscriber base that is not a separately identifiable intangible asset. The accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations reflects the operating results of this entity as of the closing date within our digital media segment.
On July 10, 2019 we acquired selected assets from the digital content library from Steelehouse Productions, Inc. for $0.1 million in cash. We recorded goodwill of approximately $2,000 associated with the expected synergies to be realized upon combining the operations of Steelehouse Productions into our digital media platform with SWN and from brand loyalty from its existing subscriber base that is not a separately identifiable intangible asset. The accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations reflects the operating results of this entity as of the closing date within our digital media segment.
On June 6, 2019, we acquired the InvestmentHouse.com website and the related financial newsletter assets and deferred subscription liabilities for $0.6 million in cash. As part of the purchase agreement, we may pay an additional incentive payment equal to 10% of revenue earned in excess of a predetermined amount during the incentive period ending May 31, 2020. Using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model based on our own assumptions as to the ability of InvestmentHouse.com to achieve revenue in excess of the targets at the time of closing, we estimated the fair value of the contingent
earn-out
 
consideration to be $
2,500
, which approximated the present value based on the
earn-out
period of less than twelve months. The accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations reflects the operating results of this entity as of the closing date within our digital media segment.
 
On March 18, 2019, we acquired the pjmedia.com website for $0.1 million in cash. The accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations reflects the operating results of this entity as of the closing date within our digital media segment.

Under the acquisition method of accounting as specified in FASB ASC Topic 805, “
Business Combinations
,” the total acquisition consideration of a business is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the transaction. Transactions that do not meet the definition of a business in ASU
2017-01
Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business”
are recorded as asset purchases. Asset purchases are recognized based on their cost to acquire, including transaction costs. The cost to acquire an asset group is allocated to the individual assets acquired based on their relative fair value with no goodwill recognized.
Fair value estimates include the discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets over their expected useful lives based on historical experience, market trends and the impact of any synergies believed to be achieved from the acquisition. Acquisitions may include contingent consideration, the fair value of which is estimated as of the acquisition date as the present value of the expected contingent payments as determined using weighted probabilities of the payment amounts.
We may retain a third-party appraiser to estimate the fair value of the net assets acquired as of the acquisition date. As part of this valuation and appraisal process, the third-party appraiser prepares a report assigning estimated fair values to the various assets acquired. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and require careful consideration and judgment. Management reviews the third-party reports for reasonableness of the assigned values. We believe that these valuations and analysis provide appropriate estimates of the fair value for the net assets acquired as of the acquisition date.
The initial valuations for business acquisitions are subject to refinement during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. During this measurement period, we may record adjustments to the net assets acquired based on additional information obtained for items that existed as of the acquisition date. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any adjustments are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. To date, we have not recorded adjustments to the estimated fair values used in our business acquisition consideration during or after the measurement period.
Property and equipment are recorded at the estimated fair value and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Finite-lived intangible assets are recorded at their estimated fair value and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill, which represents the organizational systems and procedures in place to ensure the effective operation of the entity, may also be recorded and tested for impairment. Costs associated with business acquisitions, such as consulting and legal fees, are expensed as incurred. We recognized costs associated with acquisitions of $0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $0.2 million during the prior year, which are included in unallocated corporate expenses or broadcast operating expense based on the nature of the acquisition in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The total acquisition consideration is equal to the sum of all cash payments, the fair value of any deferred payments and promissory notes, and the present value of any estimated contingent
earn-out
consideration. We estimate the fair value of contingent
earn-out
consideration using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model as discussed in Note 4, Contingent Earn Out Consideration. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement as defined in Note 14, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

earn-out
consideration to be $40,617, which was recorded at the discounted present value of $39,360. The discount will be accreted to interest expense over the two year
earn-out
period. We recorded goodwill of $0.3 million attributable to the expected synergies to be realized when combining the operations of this entity into our existing operations.

Costs associated with business acquisitions, such as consulting and legal fees, are expensed as incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we recognized costs associated with acquisitions of $0.2 million, which are included in unallocated corporate expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations compared to $0.1 million in the prior year.

KOTK-AM
in Omaha, Nebraska for $1.4 million in cash. The buyer began programming the stations under an LMA on August 8, 2018. Based on our plan to sell the stations, we recorded an estimated
pre-tax
loss on the sale of assets of $1.6 million at June 30, 2018, reflecting the sales price as compared to the carrying value of the assets and the estimated cost to sell.
