BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURE

Brains On-Line

On August 4, 2017, the Company acquired Brains On-Line, a leading contract research organization (CRO) providing critical data that advances novel therapeutics for the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Brains On-Line strategically expands the Company’s existing CNS capabilities and establishes the Company as a single-source provider for a broad portfolio of discovery CNS services. The purchase price for Brains On-Line was $21.3 million in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments that may change the purchase price, and was funded by the Company’s various borrowings. In addition to the initial purchase price, the transaction includes aggregate, undiscounted contingent payments of up to €6.7 million (approximately $7.9 million based on current exchange rates), based on future performance. The Brains On-Line business is reported as part of the Company’s DSA reportable segment.

The contingent payments become payable based on the achievement of certain revenue and earnings targets. If achieved, the payments become due in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The Company estimated the fair value of this contingent consideration based on a probability-weighted set of outcomes.

The purchase price allocation of $20.6 million, net of $0.7 million of cash acquired, was as follows:

The purchase price for WIL Research was $604.8 million, including assumed liabilities of $0.4 million. The purchase price included payment for actual working capital of the acquired business.
