Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

Business Combinations

Vital Decisions

On October 1, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of Vital Decisions, including 100% of the voting equity interests. Vital Decisions is a leading provider of technology-enabled advance care planning services, ensuring that the care of individuals with serious illness aligns with their values and changing preferences throughout their health journey and, in particular, as they approach end-of-life decisions. The transaction is expected to deepen our capabilities, allowing us to cross-sell across customers and enhance our value proposition to partners.

Total merger consideration, net of cash on hand and certain closing adjustments, was $117.7 million, based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the NYSE on October 1, 2021. The merger consideration consisted of $46.5 million of cash consideration, 1.8 million shares of Class A common stock, fair valued at $56.6 million as of October 1, 2021, and an earn-out of up to $45.0 million, fair valued at $14.6 million as of October 1, 2021. See Note 18 for additional information regarding the fair value determination of the earn-out consideration.

The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of October 1, 2021, as follows (in thousands):


Purchase consideration:
Cash	$	46,500
Fair value of Class A common stock issued	56,626
Fair value of contingent consideration	14,600
Total consideration	$	117,726



Tangible assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,430
Accounts receivable	3,301
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	78
Other non-current assets	2,564
Total tangible assets acquired	7,373

Identifiable intangible assets acquired:
Customer relationships	32,500

Liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable	93
Accrued liabilities	661
Accrued compensation and employee benefits	970
Deferred tax liabilities, net	499

Operating lease liabilities	2,712
Total liabilities assumed	6,935

Goodwill	77,288
Net assets acquired	$	117,726

The fair value of the receivables acquired, as shown in the table above, approximates the gross contractual amounts and is expected to be collectible in full. Identifiable intangible assets associated with customer relationships, technology and corporate trade names will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their preliminary estimated useful lives of 13 years, 5 years, and 15 years, respectively. The customer relationships are primarily attributable to existing contracts with current customers. The technology consists primarily of a proprietary advance care planning documentation portal where patients can input information, and doctor/patient conversations are populated for later reference. The corporate trade name reflects the value that we believe the Vital Decisions brand name carries in the market. The fair value of the intangible assets was determined using the income approach and the relief from royalty approach. The income approach estimates fair value for an asset based on the present value of cash flows projected to be generated by the asset. Projected cash flows are discounted at a required rate of return that reflects the relative risk of achieving the cash flows and the time value of money. The relief from royalty approach estimates the fair value of an asset by calculating how much an entity would have to spend to lease a similar asset. Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the total consideration and the fair value of the net assets acquired and represents the future economic benefits that we expect to achieve as a result of the acquisition. The goodwill is attributable primarily to cross-selling opportunities and the acquired assembled workforce and was all allocated to the Clinical Solutions segment. Goodwill is considered to be an indefinite lived asset. $69.6 million of the goodwill recorded on the transaction is deductible for tax purposes.

The amounts above reflect management’s preliminary estimate of the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any necessary adjustments will be finalized by the end of the third quarter of 2022.
