Acquisitions | Note 5 — Acquisitions Inmarsat Transaction On November 8, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with the Sellers to combine Viasat with Inmarsat. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company will purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Inmarsat from the Sellers upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. The total consideration payable by the Company under the Share Purchase Agreement consists of $850.0 million in cash, subject to adjustments (including a reduction of $299.3 million as a result of the dividend paid by Inmarsat in April 2022), and approximately 46.36 million unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company's stockholders approved the issuance of shares in the transaction and an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance at a special meeting held on June 21, 2022. The closing of the Inmarsat Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals and clearances. The Share Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and certain of the Sellers and further provides that, upon termination of the Share Purchase Agreement under certain circumstances, the Company may be obligated to pay a termination fee of up to $200.0 million or to reimburse certain out-of-pocket expenses of certain Sellers up to $40.0 million. The Company has obtained financing commitments for an additional $1.6 billion of new debt facilities in connection with the Inmarsat Transaction (which may be secured and/or unsecured). The Company also plans to assume $2.1 billion in principal amount of Inmarsat senior secured bonds and the outstanding indebtedness under Inmarsat’s $2.4 billion senior secured credit facilities. Euro Broadband Infrastructure Sàrl On April 30, 2021, the Company acquired the remaining 51% interest in EBI, a broadband services provider, from Eutelsat. By completing the acquisition, the Company gained 100% ownership and control of EBI and the KA-SAT satellite over EMEA and related ground infrastructure. Goodwill recognized in the transaction was recorded within the Company's satellite services segment. The goodwill recognized was not deductible for U.S. and foreign income tax purposes. Prior to the acquisition date, the Company owned a 49% interest in EBI and accounted for the investment using the equity method of accounting. The acquisition of the remaining equity interest in EBI was accounted for as a step acquisition in accordance with ASC 805. Accordingly, the Company allocated the purchase price of the acquired company to the net tangible assets and intangible assets acquired based upon their estimated fair values. The Company remeasured the previously held equity method investment to its fair value based upon a valuation of the acquired business, as of the date of acquisition. The Company considered multiple factors in determining the fair value of the previously held equity method investment, including, (i) the price negotiated with the selling shareholder for the remaining 51% interest in EBI and (ii) an income valuation model (discounted cash flow). As a result of the equity method investment remeasurement, recognition of previously unrecognized foreign currency gain and settlement of insignificant preexisting relationships, the Company recognized an insignificant total net gain included in other income, net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. The purchase price of $327.4 million was primarily comprised of $167.0 million of cash, net of what is currently estimated to be an immaterial amount of estimated purchase price consideration to be settled among the parties over the 24 months (up to plus or minus €20.0 million, or approximately $21.2 million, see Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements for more information) from the closing date (which after consideration of approximately $121.7 million of EBI’s cash on hand, resulted in a net cash outlay of approximately $51.0 million) and the fair value of previously held equity method investment of approximately $160.4 million. The purchase price allocation of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on the estimated fair values as of April 30, 2021, slightly adjusted since the close of the acquisition, primarily between goodwill, identifiable intangible assets and property, equipment and satellites, is as follows:
|  | (In thousands) |
Current assets |  | $ | 154,207 |

At the closing of the acquisition, EBI became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and EBI’s operations have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in the Company’s satellite services segment (with an insignificant amount included in the Company's commercial networks segment) commencing on the acquisition date. As EBI’s results of operations are not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations, pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented. RigNet, Inc. On April 30, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of all outstanding shares of RigNet, a publicly held leading provider of ultra-secure, intelligent networking solutions and specialized applications. Goodwill recognized in the transaction was recorded within the Company's satellite services segment. The goodwill recognized was not deductible for U.S. and foreign income tax purposes. The consideration transferred of approximately $317.9 million was primarily comprised of $207.2 million of the fair value of approximately 4.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock issued at the closing date, $107.3 million related to the pay down of outstanding borrowings of RigNet’s revolving credit facility, a de minimis amount in cash consideration in respect of fractional shares to the former shareholders of RigNet and an insignificant amount of other consideration. In connection with the RigNet acquisition, the Company recorded no merger-related transaction costs during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, and an insignificant amount and approximately $7.2 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Management determined the fair value of acquired customer relationships intangible asset by applying the multi-period excess earnings method, which involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasted revenue growth rate, gross margin, contributory asset charges, customer attrition rate and discount rate. In connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed a contingent liability associated with a RigNet predecessor subsidiary of approximately $13.8 million, which represented the maximum amount payable under the terms of the agreement. As of December 31, 2022, no amount remains payable as the maximum amount payable was paid during the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2022. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the operating results of RigNet from the date of acquisition. Since the acquisition date, the Company recorded approximately $52.2 million and $131.4 million in revenue for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, respectively, and $7.0 million and $23.2 million of net losses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, respectively, with respect to the RigNet business primarily in the Company’s satellite services segment (with a portion included in its commercial networks segment) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
