ACQUISITION [Abstract] |
Acquisition | NOTE 16 – ACQUISITION ﻿ On March 15, 2018, the Company acquired technology, talent and cross-border logistics infrastructure through a marketplace and casillero business operated by Aeropost, Inc. This acquisition has been accounted for in conformity with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. PriceSmart is actively integrating and investing in the technology, talent and infrastructure from this business to expand its omni-channel capabilities. The Company paid $29.0 million in cash for this acquisition. Under the merger agreement, $5.0 million of the total consideration has been placed in escrow and its release to the sellers is contingent upon certain key Aeropost, Inc. executives remaining employed with the Company for 15 months from the date of closing. The amount placed in escrow also can be used to satisfy any indemnification claims and post-closing adjustments in favor of the Company. This contingent consideration is accounted for as post-combination compensation expense, reduces the total consideration and will be recorded over this 15 month period. The post-acquisition compensation expense is recorded as prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet, and has been treated as use of cash from operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows. The 15-month period lapsed on June 15, 2019, and the key Aeropost, Inc. executives remained employed with the Company during this time, as such, no claim in this respect has been made against the escrow balance for this concept. Subsequent to the balance sh eet date, all indemnification claims and post-closing adjustments submitted by the Company and the sellers have been settled with no material adjustments to the escrow balance. ﻿ Below is the table that summarizes the total purchase price consideration (in thousands): ﻿ ﻿
