On January 21, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of Blueprint Genetics Oy ("Blueprint Genetics"), in an all cash transaction for $108 million, net of $3 million cash acquired. Blueprint Genetics is a leading specialty genetic testing company with deep expertise in gene variant interpretation based on next generation sequencing and proprietary bioinformatics. Through the acquisition, the Company acquired all of Blueprint Genetics' operations. Based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed primarily consist of $77 million of goodwill (none of which is tax deductible), $43 million of intangible assets, an $11 million deferred tax liability, $2 million of property, plant and equipment and working capital. The intangibles assets primarily consist of technology and customer related assets which are being amortized over a useful life of 10 years and 15 years, respectively.

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. As such, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded based on their estimated fair values as of the closing date. Supplemental pro forma combined financial information has not been presented as the impact of the acquisition is not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The goodwill recorded primarily includes the expected synergies resulting from combining the operations of the acquired entity with those of the Company and the value associated with an assembled workforce and other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. All of the goodwill acquired in connection with the acquisition has been allocated to the Company's DIS business. For further details regarding business segment information, see Note 13.

On January 27, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire select assets which constitute substantially all of the operations of Memorial Hermann Diagnostic Laboratories, the outreach laboratory division of Memorial Hermann Health System ("Memorial Hermann"). Memorial Hermann is a not-for-profit health system in Southeast Texas. The acquisition closed on April 6, 2020. See Note 17 for further details.
