ACQUISITIONS ACQUISITIONS
Arkis BioSciences Inc.
On July 29, 2019, the Company acquired Arkis BioSciences Inc. ("Arkis") for an acquisition purchase price of $30.6 million (the "Arkis Acquisition") plus contingent consideration of up to $25.5 million, that may be payable based on the successful completion of certain development and commercial milestones. The contingent consideration had an acquisition date fair value of $13.1 million. Arkis was a privately-held company that marketed the CerebroFlo® external ventricular drainage (EVD) catheter with Endexo® technology, a permanent additive designed to reduce the potential for catheter obstruction due to thrombus formation.
Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed at Fair Value
The Arkis Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination to be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.
The following table summarizes the final fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

Intangible Assets
The estimated fair value of the intangible assets was determined using the income approach, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each asset (including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, selling and marketing costs, and working capital/contributory asset charges), the appropriate discount rate to select in order to
measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, and competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream.
The Company used a discount rate of 14.5% to arrive at the present value for the acquired intangible assets to reflect the rate of return a market participant would expect to earn and incremental commercial uncertainty in the cash flow projections. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.  
Goodwill
The Company allocated goodwill related to the Arkis Acquisition to the Codman Specialty Surgical segment. Goodwill is the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the expected revenue and cost synergies of the combined company and assembled workforce. One of the key factors that contributes to the recognition of goodwill, and a driver for the Company's acquisition of Arkis, is the planned expansion of the Endexo technology with the existing products within the Codman Specialty Surgical segment. Goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition is non-deductible for income tax purposes.
Contingent Consideration
The Company determines the acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration obligations based on a probability-weighted income approach derived from revenue estimates and a probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving contingent obligations. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined using the fair value concepts in ASC 820. The resultant probability-weighted cash flows are discounted using an appropriate effective annual interest rate. At each reporting date, the contingent consideration obligation will be revalued to estimated fair value and changes in fair value will be reflected as income or expense in our consolidated statement of operations. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various contingent payment obligations. Adverse changes in assumptions utilized in the contingent consideration fair value estimates could result in an increase in the contingent consideration obligation and a corresponding charge to operating results.

As part of the acquisition, the Company is required to pay the former shareholders of Arkis up to $25.5 million based on the timing of certain development milestones of $10 million and commercial sales milestones of $15.5 million, respectively. The Company used a probability weighted income approach to calculate the fair value of the contingent consideration that considered the possible outcomes of scenarios related to each specified milestone. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $13.1 million at the acquisition date. The estimated the fair value as of December 31, 2020 was $15.1 million. The Company recorded $3.4 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $11.7 million in other liabilities at December 31, 2020 in the consolidated balance sheets of the Company.
Deferred Tax Liabilities
Deferred tax liabilities result from identifiable intangible assets’ fair value adjustments. These adjustments create excess book basis over tax basis which is tax-effected by the statutory tax rates of applicable jurisdictions.

The pro forma results are not presented for this acquisition as they are not material.
Rebound Therapeutics Corporation
On September 9, 2019, the Company acquired Rebound Therapeutics Corporation (“Rebound”), developers of a single-use medical device known as the AURORA Surgiscope® System ("Aurora") which enables minimally invasive access, using optics and illumination, for visualization, diagnostic and therapeutic use in neurosurgery (the “Rebound transaction”). Under the terms of the Rebound transaction, the Company made an upfront payment of $67.1 million and are committed to pay up to $35.0 million of contingent development milestones upon achievement of certain regulatory milestones. The acquisition of Rebound was primarily concentrated in one single identifiable asset and thus, for accounting purposes, the Company has concluded that the acquired assets do not meet the accounting definition of a business. The initial payment was allocated primarily to Aurora, resulting in a $59.9 million IPR&D expense. The balance of approximately $7.2 million, which included $2.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and a net deferred tax asset of $4.2 million, was allocated to the remaining net assets acquired. The deferred tax asset primarily resulted from a federal net operating loss carry forward.
During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company achieved the first developmental milestone which triggered a $5.0 million obligation to be paid to former shareholders of Rebound. The Company recorded $5.0 million as IPR&D expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The obligation was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities at December 31, 2019 in the consolidated balance sheets. The milestone was paid during the first quarter of 2020.
During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company achieved another developmental milestone which triggered a $20.0 million obligation to be paid to the former shareholders of Rebound. The Company recorded $20.0 million as an intangible asset in the consolidated balance sheet upon achieving the milestone. The milestone was paid during the fourth quarter of 2020.
Integrated Shoulder Collaboration, Inc.
On January 4, 2019, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Integrated Shoulder Collaboration, Inc ("ISC"). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid ISC $1.7 million for the exclusive, worldwide license to commercialize its short stem and stemless shoulder system. A patent related to short stem and stemless shoulder systems was issued to ISC during the first quarter of 2019. ISC is eligible to receive royalties on sales of the short stem and stemless shoulder system. The Company has the option to acquire ISC at a date four years subsequent to the first commercial sale, which becomes mandatory upon the achievement of a certain sales thresholds of the short stem and stemless shoulder system, for an amount not to exceed $80.0 million. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition as the Company concluded that it acquired primarily one asset. The total upfront payment of $1.7 million was expensed as a component of research and development expense and the future milestone and option payments will be recorded if the corresponding events become probable.
In connection with the sale of the Company's Extremity Orthopedic business, on January 4, 2021 the Company paid $41.5 million to CFO pursuant to the terms of certain agreements between the Company and CFO relating to the sale of shares of ISC effectively terminating our licensing agreement with ISC. See Note 3, Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Note 18. Subsequent Events for details of the transaction.
