On December 31, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests in Enquero Inc, a California corporation, and certain affiliated entities in India, the Netherlands and Canada (collectively referred to as “Enquero”) for total purchase consideration of $148,797. This amount represents cash consideration of $137,166, net of cash acquired of $11,631. The total purchase consideration paid by the Company to the sellers on the closing date was $141,938. No portion of the purchase consideration is outstanding as of September 30, 2021. The Company is evaluating adjustments related to certain income and other taxes, which, when determined, may result in the recognition of additional assets or liabilities as of the acquisition date. The measurement period will not exceed one year from the acquisition date. This acquisition increased the scale and depth of the Company’s data and analytics capabilities and enhanced the Company’s ability to accelerate the digital transformation journeys of its clients through cloud technologies and advanced data analytics.

In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded $49,000 in customer-related intangibles, $9,500 in marketing-related intangibles and $1,400 in technology-related intangibles, which have a weighted average amortization period of four years. Goodwill arising from the acquisition amounting to $86,561 has been allocated using a relative fair value allocation method to each of the Company’s reporting segments as follows: to the Banking, Capital Markets and Insurance (“BCMI”) segment in the amount of $2,556, to the Consumer Goods, Retail, Life Sciences and Healthcare (“CGRLH”) segment in the amount of $22,211 and to the High Tech, Manufacturing and Services (“HMS”) segment in the amount of $61,794. The goodwill arising from this acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill represents primarily the acquired capabilities and other benefits expected to result from combining the acquired operations with the Company’s existing operations.

Acquisition-related costs of $1,590 have been included in selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred. In connection with the transaction, the Company also acquired certain assets with a value of $32,759, assumed certain liabilities amounting to $17,113 and recognized a net deferred tax liability of $13,310. The agreement with the sellers provides a full indemnity to the Company for all pre-closing income and non-income tax liabilities up to a maximum of the purchase consideration, including interest and penalties thereon. The Company would not be financially or materially affected by any liabilities that may arise from such exposures.

Accordingly, the Company recognized an indemnification asset of $5,848 based on the information that was available at the date of the acquisition, which is included in the assets taken over by the Company. The results of operations of the acquired business and the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements with effect from the date of the acquisition.

This acquisition expanded the Company’s capabilities in improving customer experience.

The securities purchase agreement between the Company and the selling equity holders of Rightpoint provided certain of the selling equity holders the option to elect to either (a) receive 100% consideration in cash at the closing date for their limited liability company interests and vested options or (b) “roll over” and retain 25% of their Rightpoint limited liability company interests and vested options for a three-year rollover period and receive cash consideration at closing for the remaining 75% of their Rightpoint limited liability company interests and vested options. Certain selling equity holders elected to receive deferred, variable earn-out consideration with an estimated value of $21,500 over the rollover period of three years.

The amount of deferred earn-out consideration ultimately payable by the Company to the selling equity holders of Rightpoint will be based on the future revenue multiple of the acquired business. Additionally, under the purchase agreement the selling equity holders are obligated to sell their rollover interests to the Company. Accordingly, the Company has obtained control over 100% of the outstanding equity/limited liability company interests of Rightpoint as of November 12, 2019. See Note 6, “Fair value measurements,” for additional details.
