(9)	Acquisition

On February 28, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of privately-held Crescendo Bioscience, Inc. (“Crescendo”), pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 2, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Myriad acquired Crescendo for total consideration of $259.0 million, as detailed below, by means of a reverse triangular merger in which Crescendo survived the merger as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Myriad. The surviving corporation will operate under the name Crescendo Bioscience, Inc.

The following table reconciles consideration transferred to the total cash paid to acquire Crescendo:


(In thousands)
Total consideration transferred	$	258,950
Share-based compensation to Crescendo employees		6,929
Change of control payments to Crescendo employees		5,695
Offset: Non-cash fair value purchase option		(8,000	)

Total cash paid	$	263,574

The total consideration of $259.0 million, consisted of (i) $225.1 million in cash, (ii) $25.9 million in elimination of intercompany balances related to accrued interest and the term loan the Company issued to Crescendo on September 8, 2011, and (iii) $8.0 million related to the fair value of the purchase option granted to the Company on September 8, 2011 by Crescendo through a definitive merger agreement (“Option Agreement”) entered into in association with the term note. Of the cash consideration, $20.0 million of was deposited into an escrow account to fund (i) any post-closing adjustments payable to Myriad based upon differences between the estimated working capital and the actual working capital of Crescendo at closing, and (ii) any indemnification claims made by Myriad against Crescendo, for a period of time, based upon the completion of an audit of Crescendo’s financial statements, of no fewer than twelve nor more than fifteen months following closing.

Of the total cash paid, $6.9 million was accounted for as share-based compensation expense resulting from the accelerated vesting of employee options immediately prior to the acquisition and $5.7 million was accounted for as change of control bonuses paid to Crescendo employees and directors. The Company recognized the share-based compensation expense and change of control bonuses in the three and nine month March 31, 2014 post-acquisition Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2014.

Total consideration transferred was allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary fair values at the acquisition date as set forth below. The Company believes that the acquisition of Crescendo facilitates the Company’s entry into the high growth autoimmune market, diversifies its product revenue and enhances its strength in protein-based diagnostics. These factors contributed to consideration transferred in excess of the fair value of Crescendo’s net tangible and intangible assets acquired, resulting in the Company recording goodwill in connection with the transaction. Management estimated the fair values of tangible and intangible asset and liabilities in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for business combinations and utilized the services of third-party valuation consultants. The preliminary allocation of the consideration transferred is subject to potential adjustments primarily due to tax-related matters that could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company expects the allocation of the consideration transferred to be final within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date).

The Company’s preliminary allocation of consideration transferred for Crescendo is as follows (in thousands):


	Estimated
(In thousands)	Fair Value
Other assets acquired	$	15,826
Intangible assets		196,600
Goodwill		109,896

Total assets acquired		322,322

Deferred tax liability		41,778
Other liabilities assumed		21,594

Total net assets acquired	$	258,950

Identifiable Intangible Assets

The Company acquired intangible assets that consisted of developed technology which had an estimated fair value of $165.4 million and a laboratory database with an estimated fair value of $31.2 million. The fair values of the assets were determined using a probability-weighted income approach that discounts expected future cash flows to present value. The estimated net cash flows were discounted using a discount rate of 19% which is based on the estimated internal rate of return for the acquisition and represent the rate that market participants might use to value the intangible assets. The projected cash flows were based on key assumptions such as: estimates of revenues and operating profits; the time and resources need to recreate databases and product and commercial development and approval; the life of the commercialized product; and associated risks related to viability and product alternatives. The Company will amortize the intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 18 years. This amortization is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Goodwill

The $109.9 million of goodwill represents the excess of consideration transferred over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and is attributable to the benefits expected from combining the Company’s research and commercial operations with Crescendo’s. This goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.
