(“IMA”), a consulting company specializing in project management for newbuilds and vessel conversions for $37.5 million, which consisted primarily of cash and also included deferred consideration and the settlement of a pre-existing relationship. Norwegian acquired IMA to bring newbuild project management and supervision in-house and optimize the overall capital outflow for newbuild expenditures, which generates synergies that create goodwill.

As of June 30, 2024, the measurement period pertaining to the acquisition remains open and is subject to further adjustment.

The acquisition of IMA does not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
