On January 9, 2024, the Company acquired HumanFirst Inc. ("HumanFirst"), a life sciences technology company in exchange for consideration of $13.3 million. The net cash outflow was $7.8 million comprising initial cash payments of $11.8 million net of cash acquired of $4.0 million. $1.5 million of deferred consideration remains unpaid as of March 31, 2024. The purchase price allocation, as of the date of acquisition, was based on a preliminary valuation and may be subject to revision. Preliminarily, the HumanFirst acquisition resulted in the initial recognition of goodwill of $2.7 million and a developed technology intangible asset of $9.9 million. Preliminary goodwill arising in connection with the acquisition is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce of Humanfirst. The intangible asset will be amortized over its useful life of 5 years and in total, $0.5 million has been amortized in the period since the date of acquisition.
