Fiscal year 2021

Modernize, Inc.

On July 1, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Modernize, a leading home improvement performance marketing company in the home services client vertical, to broaden its customer and media relationships. In exchange for all the outstanding shares of Modernize, the Company paid $43.9 million in cash upon closing (including $3.9 million cash for net assets acquired subject to post-closing adjustments) and will make $27.5 million in post-closing payments, payable in equal annual installments over a five year period, with the first installment payable twelve months following the date of closing. In addition, the Company made a Section 338(h)(10) election to treat the acquisition for tax purposes as a purchase and sale of assets, and the Company has agreed to pay any incremental taxes to Modernize resulting from that election.

The following table summarizes the consideration as of the acquisition date (in thousands):

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and the results of operations of Modernize have been included in the Company’s results of operations as of July 1, 2020. The Company expensed all transaction costs in the period in which they were incurred. The Company allocated the purchase price to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was determined by the Company and in doing so management engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist with the measurement of the fair value of identifiable intangible assets. The estimated fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition was based on management’s best estimates. The fair value of the customer relationships was determined using the multi-period excess earnings income approach. The fair value of trade names and acquired technology was determined using the relief-from-royalty method. The fair value of content was determined using the cost approach. The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair value of the identifiable assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is primarily attributable to synergies the Company expects to achieve related to the acquisition. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The Company is still finalizing the allocation of the purchase price to the individual assets acquired. Accordingly, these preliminary estimates are subject to change during the measurement period, which is the period subsequent to the acquisition date during which the acquirer may adjust the provisional amounts recognized for a business combination, not to exceed one year form the acquisition date. The final purchase price allocation, which may include changes in the allocations within intangible assets and between intangible assets and goodwill, as well as changes in the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets, will be determined when the Company has completed the detailed review of underlying inputs and assumptions used in its preliminary purchase price allocation.
