Fiscal 2023 Acquisitions
Acquisition of Micro Focus
On August 25, 2022, we announced an agreement on the terms of an all-cash offer (through our wholly-owned subsidiary), to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Micro Focus International PLC (Micro Focus), for a total purchase price of approximately $5.8 billion, inclusive of Micro Focus’ cash and debt, subject to final adjustments.
Concurrent with the announcement of the Micro Focus Acquisition, the Company entered into the Acquisition Term Loan and Bridge Loan (see Note 11 “Long-Term Debt”) as well as certain derivative transactions (see Note 17 “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”). These derivative transactions were marked-to-market during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, with the resulting unrealized gains (losses) on these derivatives recognized in Other Income (Expense) within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (see Note 22 “Other Income (Expense), Net”). On October 18, 2022, the shareholders of Micro Focus approved the all-cash offer. On December 1, 2022, the Company issued and sold $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of 6.90% Senior Secured Notes 2027 and amended the Acquisition Term Loan to increase commitments to an aggregate principal amount of $3.585 billion. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes 2027 and increase in the Acquisition Term Loan, all remaining commitments under the Bridge Loan were reduced to zero and the Bridge Loan was terminated.
On January 31, 2023, we completed the Micro Focus Acquisition and repaid Micro Focus’ outstanding indebtedness. In connection with the financing of the Micro Focus Acquisition, we drew down the entire amount of the Acquisition Term Loan, less original issuance discount and other fees, and drew down $450.0 million under the Revolver. We used proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes 2027 and cash on hand to fund the remaining purchase price consideration. The deal-contingent forward contracts and non-contingent forward contract, as described in Note 17 “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” entered into to hedge certain foreign currency obligations in relation to the Micro Focus Acquisition, are expected to be settled on February 9, 2023.
Acquisition-related costs for Micro Focus included in “Special Charges (Recoveries)” in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 were $5.9 million and $10.3 million.
Fiscal 2022 Acquisitions
Acquisition of Zix Corporation
On December 23, 2021, we acquired all of the equity interest in Zix, a leader in software as a service (SaaS) based email encryption, threat protection and compliance cloud solutions for small and medium-sized businesses (SMB). Total consideration for Zix was $894.5 million paid in cash, inclusive of cash acquired and $18.6 million relating to the cash settlement of pre-acquisition vested share-based compensation that was previously accrued but since paid as of March 31, 2022. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805 “Business Combinations” (Topic 805), this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. We believe the acquisition increases our position in the data protection, threat management, email security and compliance solutions spaces.
The results of operations of Zix have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning December 23, 2021.
Purchase Price Allocation
The recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their fair values as of December 23, 2021, are set forth below:
Current assets (inclusive of cash acquired of $38.3 million)
$71,527 
Non-current tangible assets13,450 
Intangible customer assets212,400 
Intangible technology assets92,650 
Liabilities assumed(81,476)
Total identifiable net assets308,551 
Goodwill585,910 
Net assets acquired$894,461 
The goodwill of $585.9 million is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. There is $103.7 million of goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes.
The fair value of current assets acquired includes accounts receivable with a fair value of $26.0 million. The gross amount receivable was $32.6 million, of which $6.6 million is expected to be uncollectible.
Acquisition-related costs for Zix included in “Special Charges (Recoveries)” in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 were nil and $0.2 million, respectively.
Pre-acquisition equity incentives of $26.4 million were replaced upon acquisition by equivalent value cash settlements to be settled in accordance with the original vesting dates, primarily over the two years after the date of the acquisition. Of these equity incentives, $3.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 were included in “Special Charges (Recoveries).”
The finalization of the purchase price allocation during the three months ended December 31, 2022 did not result in any significant changes to the preliminary amounts previously disclosed.
Acquisition of Bricata Inc.
On November 24, 2021, we acquired all of the equity interest in Bricata Inc. (Bricata) for $17.8 million. In accordance with Topic 805, this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. We believe the acquisition strengthens our OpenText Security and Protection Cloud with Network Detection and Response technologies.
The results of operations of Bricata have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning November 24, 2021.
