Serendebyte is an autonomous customer experience and intelligent automation solutions provider with 125 employees based in India, the United States, and Canada. The business has been integrated into the TTEC Digital segment and is being fully consolidated into the financial statements of TTEC. Total cash paid at acquisition, for 70% of the outstanding shares of capital stock, was $9.0 million. The Transaction is subject to customary representations and warranties, holdbacks, and a net working capital adjustment. The Company finalized the net working capital adjustment for $0.8 million during the second quarter of 2020 which was paid from Serendebyte to TTEC Digital in the second quarter of 2020. As of the closing of the Transaction, Serendebyte’s founder and certain members of its management will continue to hold the remaining 30% interest in Serendebyte, Inc. (“Remaining Interest”). Between January 31, 2023 and December 31, 2023, Serendebyte’s founder and the management team shall have an option to sell to TTEC Digital and TTEC Digital shall have an option to purchase the Remaining Interest at a purchase price equal to a multiple of Serendebyte’s adjusted trailing twelve month EBITDA for this particular acquisition. The noncontrolling interest was recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. The fair value was based on significant inputs not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs) including forecasted earnings, discount rate of 35%, working capital requirements and applicable tax rates. The noncontrolling interest was valued at $3.8 million and is shown as Redeemable noncontrolling interest in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. As a condition to closing, Serendebyte’s founder and certain members of the management team agreed to continue their affiliation with Serendebyte at least through 2023, and the founder agreed not to compete with TTEC for a period of four years after the disposition of the Remaining Interest.

​ The estimates of fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary, pending finalization of a valuation and tax returns, thus are subject to revisions that may result in adjustments to the values presented above. At the date of the purchase, an additional $2.2 million of cash was retained in the entity that was withdrawn by the holders of the Remaining Interest during the second quarter of 2020. The Serendebyte customer relationships and tradename have been estimated based on the initial valuation and will be amortized over estimated useful lives of 5 and 3 years, respectively. The goodwill recognized from the Serendebyte acquisition is estimated to be attributable, but not limited to, the acquired workforce and expected synergies with TTEC Digital segment. The tax basis of the acquired intangibles and goodwill will not be deductible for income tax purposes. The acquired goodwill and intangibles and operating results of Serendebyte are reported within the TTEC Digital segment from the date of acquisition. First Call Resolution On October 26, 2019, the Company acquired, through its subsidiary TTEC Services Corporation (“TSC”), 70% of the outstanding membership interest in First Call Resolution, LLC (“FCR”), an Oregon limited liability company (“the Transaction”). FCR is a customer care, social networking and business process solutions service provider with approximately 2,000 employees based in the U.S. The business has been integrated into the TTEC Engage segment and is being fully consolidated into the financial statements of TTEC. Total cash paid at acquisition was $107.0 million, inclusive of $4.5 million related to cash balances, for the 70% membership interest in FCR. The Transaction was subject to customary representations and warranties, holdbacks, and a net working capital adjustment. The Transaction included a potential contingent payment with a maximum value of $10.9 million based on FCR’s 2020 EBITDA performance. The Company finalized the working capital adjustment for $0.7 million during the first quarter of 2020 which was paid from FCR to TSC in March 2020. As of the closing of the Transaction, Ortana Holdings, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company (“Ortana”), owned by the FCR founders, will continue to hold the remaining 30% membership interest in FCR (“Remaining Interest”). Between January 31, 2023 and December 31, 2023, Ortana shall have an option to sell to TSC and TSC shall have an option to purchase from Ortana the Remaining Interest at a purchase price equal to a multiple of FCR’s adjusted trailing twelve month EBITDA for this particular acquisition, and not to compete with the Company for a period of four years after the disposition of the Remaining Interest. The noncontrolling interest was recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. The fair value was based on significant inputs not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs) including forecasted earnings, discount rate of 19.6%, working capital requirements and applicable tax rates. The noncontrolling interest was valued at $48.3 million on the acquisition date and is shown as Redeemable noncontrolling interest in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the contingent consideration has been measured based on significant inputs not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs). Significant assumptions include a discount rate of 16.7%, expected forecast volatility of 20%, an equivalent metric risk premium of 15.1%, risk-free rate of 1.6% and a credit spread of 1.8%. Based on these, a $6.5 million expected future payment was calculated. As of the acquisition date, the present value of the contingent consideration was $6.1 million. During the first and second quarters of 2020, $3.3 million and $1.1 million of net benefits, respectively, were recorded related to fair value adjustments of the estimated contingent consideration based on revised actuals and estimates of EBITDA performance for 2020. The benefits were included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). As of June 30, 2020, the value of the contingent consideration was $1.8 million and was included in Other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

​ In the first quarter of 2020, the Company finalized its valuation of FCR for the acquisition date assets acquired and liabilities assumed and determined that no material adjustments to any of the balances were required. As part of the purchase, an additional net $0.7 million of cash was retained in the entity to pay for certain Ortana liabilities that had been recorded prior to the acquisition. The FCR customer relationships and tradename are being amortized over useful lives of 10 and 4 years, respectively. The goodwill recognized from the FCR acquisition is attributable, but not limited to, the acquired workforce and expected synergies with Engage. The tax basis of the acquired intangibles and goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes. The acquired goodwill and intangibles and operating results of FCR are reported within the TTEC Engage segment from the date of acquisition. Dissolutions TeleTech Customer Management (Ghana) Limited In the second quarter of 2020, the Company dissolved TeleTech Customer Management (Ghana) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary domiciled in Ghana. Upon the completed dissolution, a $2.5 million loss was included in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Financial Impact of Acquired Businesses The acquired businesses purchased in 2020 and 2019 noted above contributed revenues of $52.2 million and net income of $3.7 million, inclusive of $3.2 million of acquired intangible amortization, to the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The unaudited proforma financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 combines the consolidated results of the Company, FCR and Serendebyte, assuming the acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 2019. The reported revenue and net income of $885.3 million and $52.9 million would have been $886.3 million and $53.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, on an unaudited proforma basis. For 2019, the reported revenue and net income of $786.9 million and $30.8 million would have been $830.7 million and $39.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, on an unaudited proforma basis. The unaudited proforma consolidated results are not to be considered indicative of the results if these acquisitions occurred in the periods mentioned above, or indicative of future operations or results. Additionally, the proforma consolidated results do not reflect any anticipated synergies expected as a result of the acquisition. Subsequent Event On August 5, 2020, TTEC Digital, LLC (“TTEC Digital”), a subsidiary of the Company, agreed to acquire 100% of VoiceFoundry, a preferred Amazon Connect cloud contact center services partner (the “VF Transaction”).
