Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations Proposed Merger with Avast On August 10, 2021, we announced a transaction under which we intend to acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Avast plc, a public company incorporated in England and Wales and a global leader of digital security and privacy headquartered in Prague, Czech Republic (Avast and such transaction, the Proposed Merger). The Proposed Merger will be implemented by means of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under the UK Companies Act 2006, as amended (the Scheme), and remains subject to a certain number of conditions. Under the terms of the Proposed Merger, Avast shareholders will be entitled to elect to receive, for each ordinary share of Avast held, in respect of their entire holding of Avast shares, either: (i) $7.61 in cash and 0.0302 of a new share of our common stock (such option, the Majority Cash Option); or (ii) $2.37 in cash and 0.1937 of a new share of our common stock (such option, the Majority Stock Option).The estimated purchase price range, based on our undisturbed closing share price of $27.20 on July 13, 2021, for the Avast shares under the Proposed Merger is $8.1 billion to $8.6 billion, depending on the Avast shareholders elections. Each of the directors of Avast who holds shares has undertaken to elect for the Majority Stock Option in respect of their entire beneficial holdings of Avast shares. We plan to finance the Proposed Merger with existing cash, cash to be generated by operations and new debt financing. In conjunction with the Proposed Merger, on August 10, 2021, we entered into an agreement (as amended, the Interim Facilities Agreement) with certain financial institutions, in which they agreed to provide us with (i) a $3,600 million term loan interim facility B (the Interim Facility B), (ii) $750 million term loan interim facility A1 (the Interim Facility A1) and $3,500 million term loan interim facility A2 (the Interim Facility A2), and (iii) a $1,500 million interim revolving facility (the Interim Revolving Facility) (collectively, the Interim Facilities) and a commitment letter (as amended, the Commitment Letter) with certain financial institutions, in which they agreed to provide us with financing no less than the financing available under the Interim Facilities (the Definitive Facilities and, together with the Interim Facilities, the Facilities) to finance the cash consideration payable in connection with the Proposed Merger. The Definitive Facilities will be financed by a syndicate of lenders led by Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank N.A. On January 28, 2022, the syndication of the Definitive Facilities by lenders under the Commitment Letter was finalized with repriced commitments, which provided for an incremental increase of $500 million under our Interim Facilities and increased Interim Facility B to $3,690 million and Interim Facility A2 to $3,910 million. The Interim Facilities Agreement contains, and any definitive financing documentation entered into in connection with the Commitment Letter will contain, customary representations and warranties, events of default and covenants for transactions of this type. Definitive financing documentation entered into in connection with the Commitment Letter will replace the existing credit facility agreement upon the close of the transactions contemplated thereby. In conjunction with the Proposed Merger, on August 10, 2021, we entered into a Co-operation Agreement (the Co-operation Agreement) with Nitro Bidco Limited, our wholly-owned subsidiary (Bidco), and Avast, pursuant to which we and Bidco agreed to, among other things, use all reasonable endeavors for the purposes of obtaining any regulatory authorizations which are required to implement the Proposed Merger, and we, Bidco and Avast agreed to cooperate with each other in preparing required transaction documents and certain other matters in connection with the Proposed Merger. The Co-operation Agreement also contains certain termination rights. The Co-operation Agreement also provides that, subject to certain exceptions, in connection with a failure to satisfy specified events, conditions or regulatory approvals, we may be required to pay Avast a break fee ranging from $100 million to $300 million. The Proposed Merger has been approved by our Board of Directors and shareholders and the Board of Directors and shareholders of Avast. As previously reported in our Form 8-K dated November 15, 2021, the waiting period under the U.S. Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the HSR Act) in connection with the Proposed Merger expired at 11:59 P.M. E.T. on November 12, 2021. The Proposed Merger is currently expected to close on February 24, 2022, subject to regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions. Fiscal 2022 acquisition On September 15, 2021, we completed an acquisition of an online reputation management and digital privacy solutions company for total aggregate consideration of $39 million, net of $1 million cash acquired. The purchase price was primarily allocated to intangible assets and goodwill during the nine months ended December 31, 2021. Fiscal 2021 Avira acquisition On January 8, 2021, we completed our acquisition of Avira. Avira provides a consumer-focused portfolio of cybersecurity and privacy solutions primarily in Europe and key emerging markets. The total aggregate consideration for the acquisition was $344 million, net of $32 million cash acquired. Our final allocation of the aggregate purchase price for the acquisition as of January 8, 2021, is as follows:
(In millions) | January 8, 2021
Assets: |
Current assets | $ | 12 |
Intangible assets | 162 |
Goodwill | 261 |
Other long-term asset | 21 |
Total assets acquired | 456 |
Liabilities: |
Current liabilities | 29 |
Contract liabilities | 54 |
Other long-term obligations | 29 |
Total liabilities assumed | 112 |
Total purchase price | $ | 344 |
The allocation of the purchase price above was initially based upon a preliminary valuation performed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and reflects adjustments made during the nine months ended December 31, 2021. Our estimates and assumptions are subject to refinement within the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date. Adjustments to the purchase price during the measurement period required adjustments to be made to goodwill. The measurement period ended on January 7, 2022, and there were no additional adjustments between December 31, 2021 and January 7, 2022.
