16. Acquisition

 

On May 12, 2011, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Padlock Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), CRI, a California corporation, and the shareholder representative party thereto. On June 3, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of CRI by acquiring all issued and outstanding common shares of CRI. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on June 3, 2011, Merger Sub merged with and into CRI, with CRI as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company paid approximately $257.2 million consisting of cash and approximately 6.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock. Of the consideration, $15.0 million in cash and approximately 1.3 million of the Company’s common stock were deposited into an escrow account until December 2012, subject to any claims, to fund any indemnification obligations to the Company following the consummation of the merger. In addition, as part of the requirements of the Merger Agreement, on June 7, 2011, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 which registers the resale of the shares of common stock received by the former shareholders of CRI. The acquisition of CRI expands the Company’s technologies available for licensing with complementary technologies from CRI that include patented innovations and solutions for content protection, network security and anti-counterfeiting. Additionally, CRI is part of the NBG reportable segment.

 

As part of the acquisition, the Company agreed to pay $50.0 million to certain CRI employees and contractors in cash or the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s option, over three years following June 3, 2011 (the “Retention Bonus”).  The Retention Bonus will be paid in three installments of approximately $16.7 million on June 3, 2012, June 3, 2013, and June 3, 2014. The Retention Bonus payouts are subject to the condition of employment, and therefore, treated as compensation and expensed as incurred. The portion of the Retention Bonus that is forfeited by employees that have left the Company prior to payout will be accelerated and the forfeited amount will be paid out to a designated charitable organization. The first payment will be made in cash and the following two payments will be made in either cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s option.

 

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with the business acquisition guidance. Under the purchase accounting method, the total estimated purchase consideration of the acquisitions was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. The excess of the purchase consideration over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation has been finalized. The Company expensed the related transaction costs amounting to approximately $3.9 million. The related transaction costs were recorded in the marketing, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The following table summarizes the consideration paid by the Company (in thousands):

The 6,380,806 shares of common stock issued were valued based on the closing stock price at the date of the acquisition which amounted to $88.4 million.

 

The purchase price allocation for the business acquired is based on management’s estimate of the fair value for purchase accounting purposes at the date of acquisition. The fair value of the assets acquired has been determined primarily by using valuation methods that discount the expected future cash flows to present value using estimates and assumptions determined by management. The Company performed a valuation of the net assets acquired as of June 3, 2011 (the acquisition closing date). The purchase price from the business combination was allocated as follows:

The goodwill arising from the acquisition is primarily attributed to synergies related to the combination of new and complementary technologies of the Company and the assembled workforce of CRI. All of this goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

The identified intangible assets assumed in the acquisition of CRI were recognized as follows based upon their fair values as of the acquisition date:

The favorable contracts are acquired patent licensing agreements where the Company has no performance obligations. Cash received from these acquired favorable contracts will reduce the favorable contract intangible asset.  The estimated useful life is based on expected payment dates related to the favorable contracts. The group of purchased intangible assets has an estimated weighted average useful life of approximately 7 years from the date of acquisition.

 

The fair value of the existing technology and customer relationships was determined based on an income approach using the discounted cash flow method. Discount rates of 30% and 26% were used to value the existing technology and customer relationships, respectively. The estimated discount rates were based on implied rate of return of the transaction, adjusted for specific risk profile of the asset. The remaining useful life for the existing technology was based on historical product development cycles, the projected rate of technology attrition, and the pattern of projected economic benefit of the asset. The remaining useful life of customer relationships was estimated based on customer attrition, new customer acquisition and future economic benefit of the asset.

 

The fair value of the favorable contracts was determined based on an income approach using the discounted cash flow method with a discount rate of 9%. The favorable contracts will be reduced as cash is received from the customers.

 

The fair value of the non-competition agreements were determined based on the income approach using the discounted cash flow method with a 26% discount rate. The estimated useful life was determined based on the future economic benefit expected to be received from the assets.

 

The CRI business combination is included in our NBG reportable segment. Additionally, the condensed consolidated financial statements include approximately $13.3 million of revenue and approximately $7.6 million of operating losses of CRI from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2011.
