Acquisitions	8. Acquisitions In certain business combinations consummated prior to January 1, 2009, a portion of our purchase price is in the form of contingent consideration. The contingent consideration represents the difference between the seller’s and our perceived values of the business based upon our respective future performance estimates at the time of acquisition. The use of contingent consideration allows the buyer to shift some of the valuation risk, inherent at the time of acquisition, to the seller based upon the outcome of future financial targets that the seller contemplates in its valuation. Contingent consideration is payable annually if agreed upon performance targets are met and is generally subject to a maximum amount within a specified time period. Contingent consideration related to acquisitions consummated prior to January 1, 2009 is recorded as additional purchase price with the adjustment recorded as an increase to goodwill if the contingency is satisfied. Additional consideration related to businesses acquired prior to January 1, 2009 that was recorded as an adjustment to goodwill was $15.0 million and $18.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Certain acquisition related restricted stock agreements entered into prior to January 1, 2009 contained stock price guarantees that may result in cash payments in the future if our share price falls below a specified per share market value on the date that the applicable stock restrictions lapse (the “determination date”). For those acquisitions, the future settlement of any contingency related to our common stock price will be recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. During 2013, we paid $4.1 million in cash in relation to the stock price guarantees on certain shares of common stock that became unrestricted, which was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. As of December 31, 2013, no further acquisition-related stock price guarantees are outstanding. *2013 Acquisitions* During the fourth quarter of 2013, we completed two acquisitions. The total purchase price included initial consideration with a value of $15.2 million plus, for one of the acquisitions, acquisition-related contingent consideration. The contingent consideration is payable through 2014 if the acquired business meets certain performance measures. During the second quarter of 2013, we completed two acquisitions. The total purchase price included initial consideration with a value of $26.7 million plus acquisition-related contingent consideration. The contingent consideration is payable through the next five years if the acquired businesses meet certain performance measures. During the first quarter of 2013, we completed two acquisitions. The total purchase price included initial consideration with a value of $9.1 million plus, for one of the acquisitions, acquisition-related contingent consideration. The contingent consideration is payable annually through December 31, 2017 if the acquired business meets certain performance measures, and is subject to an $8.0 million aggregate cap. For acquisitions completed during the year ended December 31, 2013, as part of the purchase price allocations, we recorded $17.2 million in identifiable intangible assets and $38.9 million in goodwill. The estimated fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration of $12.6 million is recorded in “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other” and “Other liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain of the purchase price allocations were preliminary as of December 31, 2013 and we are currently evaluating the fair value of the consideration transferred, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed. For these acquisitions, we recorded $4.7 million of acquisition-related contingent consideration, $9.5 million of identifiable intangible assets, $1.2 million of deferred tax liabilities and $10.1 million of goodwill. Pro forma results of operations were not presented because these acquisitions were not material in relation to our consolidated financial position or results of operations for the periods presented. *2012 Acquisitions* In December 2012, we completed an acquisition in the United States for our Corporate Finance/Restructuring segment. The acquisition date fair value of total consideration transferred was $11.1 million, which consisted of $9.8 million of cash and stock paid at closing and contingent consideration with a fair value of $1.3 million. As part of the purchase price we recorded $3.4 million of identified intangible assets and $7.8 million of goodwill. In October 2012, we completed an acquisition in Australia for our Corporate Finance/Restructuring segment. The acquisition date fair value of total consideration transferred was $27.4 million, which consisted of approximately $25.4 million of cash and stock paid at closing and contingent consideration with a fair value of $2.1 million.

The acquisition-date fair value of the total consideration transferred is approximately $30.0 million, which consisted of $27.1 million of cash paid at the closings of these acquisitions, a portion of which is subject to certain working capital and other adjustments, and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $2.9 million.
