Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

On June 10, 2021, we acquired Zego, a real estate technology company that provides a comprehensive resident experience management software and digital commerce solutions to property managers, primarily in the United States. Zego’s real estate software and payments solutions support property managers and residents throughout the real estate lifecycle. This acquisition aligns with our technology-enabled, software driven strategy and expands our business into a new vertical market. We paid cash consideration of approximately $933 million, which we funded with cash on hand and by drawing on our revolving credit facility.

This transaction was accounted for as a business combination, which generally requires that we record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the acquisition date. Due to the timing of the acquisition, the accounting for this acquisition was not complete as of June 30, 2021. The fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed have been determined provisionally and are subject to adjustment as we obtain additional information. In particular, additional time is needed to refine and review the results of the valuation of assets and liabilities and to evaluate the basis differences for assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes.

The provisional estimated acquisition-date fair values of major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including a reconciliation to the total purchase consideration, are as follows (in thousands):


Cash and cash equivalents	$	67,374
Accounts receivable	1,033
Identifiable intangible assets	410,443
Property and equipment	3,634
Other assets	9,141
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	(65,753)
Deferred income tax liabilities	(10,709)
Other liabilities	(8,268)
Total identifiable net assets	406,895
Goodwill	525,929
Total purchase consideration	$	932,824

Goodwill of $525.9 million arising from the acquisition, included in the Merchant Solutions operating segment, is attributable to expected growth opportunities, potential synergies from combining our existing businesses and an assembled workforce. We expect that a portion of the goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes.

We are still evaluating information to separately identify and value the intangible assets acquired. We expect such assets to primarily include customer-related intangible assets and acquired technology as well as other identifiable intangible assets that are similar to those we have identified in previous acquisitions. We estimate the amortization periods for the more significant intangible assets to be in a range of 7 to 14 years.
