Acquisition of SpringCM Inc. Acquisition of SpringCM Inc.

On September 4, 2018, we completed the acquisition of SpringCM Inc. ("SpringCM"), a cloud-based document generation and contract lifecycle management software company based in Chicago, Illinois. With the addition of SpringCM's capabilities in document generation, redlining, advanced document management and end-to-end agreement workflow, the deal further accelerates the broadening of our solution beyond e-signature to the rest of the agreement process—from preparing to signing, acting-on and managing agreements. Under the terms of the agreement, we acquired SpringCM for approximately $218.8 million in cash, excluding cash acquired, working capital and transaction cost adjustments. Of the cash paid at closing, $8.2 million will be held in escrow for an 18-month period after closing to secure our indemnification rights under the Merger Agreement.

Additionally, we granted certain continuing employees of SpringCM restricted stock units ("RSUs") with a service and performance conditions covering up to 0.5 million shares that will be accounted for as a post-acquisition compensation expense over the vesting period. The performance-based condition will be satisfied upon SpringCM meeting certain revenue targets. As of April 30, 2019, the performance-based condition was not considered probable.

We accounted for the transaction as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. We allocated the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Fair values were determined using the valuation performed by management. Excess purchase price consideration was recorded as goodwill and is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and expanded market opportunities when integrating SpringCM’s capabilities in document generation, redlining, advanced document management and end-to-end agreement workflow with our other offerings. 

We engaged third party valuation specialists to aid our analysis of the fair value of the acquired intangibles. All estimates, key assumptions, and forecasts were either provided by or reviewed by us. While we chose to utilize a third-party valuation specialist for assistance, the fair value analysis and related valuations reflect the conclusions of management and not those of any third party.

The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined using the market, income and cost approaches. The purchase price allocation was prepared on a preliminary basis and is subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available concerning the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any adjustments to the purchase price allocation will be made as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

In the year ended January 31, 2019, we incurred acquisition costs of $1.8 million. These costs included legal, accounting fees and other costs directly related to the acquisition and are classified within operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following unaudited pro forma information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and assumes the acquisition occurred on February 1, 2017. It includes pro forma adjustments related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, professional services revenue and contract acquisitions costs adjustments under the new revenue recognition standard, and contract liabilities fair value adjustment. The unaudited pro forma results have been prepared based on estimates and assumptions, which we believe are reasonable, however, they are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations had the acquisition occurred on February 1, 2017, or of future results of operations:
