Note 3. Acquisitions

2022 Acquisition

The Company completed its asset purchase of Form I-9 Compliance, a U.S.-based technology solution and consulting service provider for I-9 and E-Verify compliance, for cash consideration of approximately $19.8 million. The transfer of ownership became effective as of January 1, 2022 and strategically expanded the Company’s product suite offerings through the addition of new I-9 and employment eligibility solutions. The acquired assets were determined to constitute a business and the Company was deemed to be the acquirer under ASC 805. The Company recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of January 1, 2022. The allocation was finalized as of September 30, 2022 and no adjustments were recorded to the Company’s previously recognized fair values.

The allocation of the purchase price is based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the consideration paid and the amounts recognized for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):

2021 Acquisitions

On March 31, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of selected assets and specified liabilities comprising the United Kingdom background screening business unit of a United Kingdom based company for cash consideration of $7.6 million. The Company recognized $3.1 million of goodwill and $3.0 million of intangible assets subject to amortization. Goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to assembled workforce and the expected growth of the Company and is deductible for tax purposes. Results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s International segment since the effective date of the acquisition.

On November 30, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of a background screening and verification provider based in Mexico. Goodwill recognized as result of this acquisition was not deductible for tax purposes. Results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s Americas segment since the effective date of the acquisition.

On November 30, 2021, the Company, through one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United States, entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding equity of Corporate Screening Services, LLC (“Corporate Screening”), a U.S.-based screening and compliance solutions provider which strengthened the Company’s healthcare and higher education solutions by adding technology and expertise tailored to those customers, for cash consideration of $39.4 million. The acquisition was considered an acquisition of assets for tax purposes and, accordingly, a significant portion of the $22.2 million of goodwill recognized was deductible for tax purposes. Identifiable intangible assets related to this acquisition totaled $15.5 million, of which $11.8 million was attributable to a customer related intangible asset, with an estimated useful life of thirteen years and $3.6 million was attributable to developed technology with a useful life of five years. In addition, the Company acquired current assets of $2.9 million and assumed liabilities of $1.6 million. The allocation was finalized as of June 30, 2022. Results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s Americas segment since the effective date of the acquisition.

Silver Lake Transaction

On January 31, 2020, a fund managed by Silver Lake acquired substantially all of the Company’s equity interests for approximately $1,576.0 million. A portion of the consideration was derived from members of the management team contributing an allocation of their Silver Lake Transaction proceeds. As part of the Silver Lake Transaction, the Predecessor credit facilities were all repaid in full at closing and a new financing structure was executed (see Note 6).

Silver Lake accounted for the Silver Lake Transaction as a business combination under ASC 805 and elected to apply pushdown accounting to the Company.

The allocation of the purchase price is based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, less transaction expenses funded by transaction proceeds. The following table summarizes the consideration paid and the amounts recognized for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):

Goodwill recognized in the Silver Lake Transaction is primarily attributable to assembled workforce and the expected growth of the Company, and a significant portion of goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Costs incurred by the Company related to the Silver Lake Transaction were primarily composed of deferred financing costs associated with the new financing structure which have been capitalized within long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets (see Note 6) and approximately $31.8 million of closing costs which have been recorded in transaction expenses, change in control in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Seller related costs were recorded as transaction expenses in the Predecessor period, Silver Lake related costs were pushed down to the Company in the Successor period.

Pro Forma Results

The following summary, prepared on a pro forma basis pursuant to ASC 805, presents the Company’s consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 as if the Silver Lake Transaction had been completed on January 1, 2020. The pro forma results below include the impact of certain adjustments related to the amortization of intangible assets, transaction-related costs incurred as of the acquisition date, and interest expense on related borrowings, and in each case, the related income tax effects, as well as certain other post-acquisition adjustments attributable to the Silver Lake Transaction. This pro forma presentation does not include any impact of transaction synergies. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved had the Silver Lake Transaction been consummated as of January 1, 2020.
