On August 30, 2019, the Company closed the Acquisition of WageWorks for $51.35 per share in cash, or approximately $2.0 billion to WageWorks stockholders. The Company financed the transaction through a combination of $816.9 million cash on hand plus net borrowings of approximately $1.22 billion, after deducting lender fees of approximately $30.5 million, under a term loan facility (see Note 8—Indebtedness).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company replaced certain outstanding restricted stock units originally granted by WageWorks with the Company’s equivalent awards. The outstanding WageWorks vested and unvested stock options, and certain unvested restricted stock units, were settled in cash as specified in the Merger Agreement. The portion of the fair value of partially vested awards associated with pre-acquisition service of WageWorks award recipients represented a component of the total consideration, as presented below.


(in millions)
Aggregate fair value of WageWorks stock acquired	$	2,018.8
Fair value of previously owned investment in WageWorks stock	81.4
Fair value of equity awards exchanged for cash attributable to pre-Acquisition service	18.1
Fair value of equity awards replaced attributable to pre-Acquisition service	3.8
Total consideration paid	$	2,122.1

Consideration paid was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the Acquisition date. Management estimated the fair value of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for business combinations and utilized the services of third-party valuation consultants to value acquired intangible assets. The initial allocation of the consideration paid was based on a preliminary valuation and is subject to potential adjustment during the measurement period (up to one year from the Acquisition date). Balances subject to adjustment primarily include the valuations of acquired assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities assumed, as well as tax-related matters. The Company expects the allocation of the consideration transferred to be finalized within the measurement period.

The Acquisition resulted in $1.33 billion of goodwill, which is attributable to several strategic, operational and financial benefits expected from the Acquisition, including custodial and interchange revenue synergies based on current contractual relationships, as well as operational cost synergies resulting from increased scale in service delivery and elimination of duplicative management functions and other back-office operational efficiencies. The adjustments to the initial allocation are based on more detailed information obtained about the specific assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and tax-related matters. The goodwill created in the Acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company preliminary valued the acquired assets utilizing the discounted cash flow method, a form of the income approach. The significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analyses include future revenue growth and attrition rates, projected margins, royalty rates, technological obsolescence, discount rates used to present value future cash flows, and the amount of revenue and cost synergies expected from the Acquisition.

In connection with the transaction, for the year ended January 31, 2020, the Company incurred approximately $40.8 million of acquisition costs, which are recorded as other expense, net. For the year ended January 31, 2020, WageWorks contributed revenue of approximately $184.7 million
