("Praxis"), an established subrogation claims service provider in the U.S. This acquisition allows the Company to expand its footprint in the U.S. subrogation claims market. The purchase price includes an initial cash consideration of $25,500,000, before working capital adjustment, a deferred payment of $20,000,000 in January 2022, and a maximum $10,000,000 payable over two one-year periods based on achieving certain revenue performance goals, as defined in the purchase agreement. On October 4, 2021, the Company acquired BosBoon Expertise Group B.V. ("Bosboon"), a Netherlands-based specialist loss adjusting company. The acquisition supports Crawford’s strategic aim of strengthening its expertise in all key territories in which it operates. BosBoon offers a specialist range of loss adjusting services which will be added to the existing Crawford Global Technical Services proposition in The Netherlands and internationally. The purchase price includes an initial cash consideration of $2,200,000, before working capital adjustment, and a maximum of $1,860,000 payable over the next two years based on achieving certain financial and nonfinancial goals, as defined in the purchase agreement. Both of these acquisitions will be accounted for under the guidance of ASC 805-10, as a business combination under the acquisition method. Based upon the timing of this acquisition, the initial accounting for the acquisition is not yet complete as the Company gathers additional information related to the assets acquired and liabilities, including intangible assets, other assets, accrued liabilities, deferred taxes, and uncertain tax positions. The Company is in the process of obtaining third-party valuations of certain intangible assets. The preliminary application of acquisition accounting to the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, as well as the results of operations of Praxis and BosBoon, will first be reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ending December 31, 2021. On November 4, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors, authorized the repurchase up to 2,000,000 shares of CRD-A or CRD-B (or a combination of the two) through December 31, 2023. Under the new repurchase program, repurchases may be made in the open market or privately negotiated transactions at such times and for such prices as management deems appropriate, subject to applicable regulatory guidelines. The new authorization does not obligate Crawford to acquire any stock, and purchases may be commenced or suspended at any time based on market conditions and other factors that the Company deems appropriate. On November 5, 2021, the Company, along with certain of our subsidiaries as co-borrowers, entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent and lender, among other lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement replaces our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated October 11, 2017. Proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Agreement were used to repay all amounts outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement. Under the Credit Agreement, the lenders have agreed, subject to certain terms and conditions, to (i) provide to the Company a $450,000,000 multicurrency revolving credit facility maturing in November 2026, (ii) permit additional incremental borrowing capacity, subject to conditions stated therein, (iii) replace the existing fixed charge coverage ratio with an interest coverage ratio with a minimum of 2.50 to 1.00, and (iv) replace the existing leverage ratios with a single leverage ratio test of 4.50 to 1.00.
