5.  ACQUISITIONS

 

Tekzenit, Inc.  On January 2, 2020, we acquired Tekzenit Inc. (“Tekzenit”) for a purchase price of approximately $10 million.  This acquisition will allow us to accelerate our go-to-market approach serving clients who are focused on improving their customers’ experience while transforming their business.  The purchase agreement includes provisions for additional purchase price (“Provisional Purchase Price”) payments in the form of earn-out and qualified sales payments for up to $10 million over a three-year measurement period upon meeting certain financial and sales criteria.  Of the Provisional Purchase Price amount, $6 million is considered contingent purchase price payments, of which $1.5 million was accrued upon acquisition. The remaining $4 million is tied to certain financial and sales criteria over a defined service period by the eligible recipients, and is therefore accounted for as post-acquisition compensation.  As of March 31, 2020, we have not accrued any amounts related to the post-acquisition compensation payments due to the uncertainty of payment.

 

The preliminary estimated fair values of assets acquired primarily include goodwill of $9.2 million and acquired client contracts of $2.9 million and liabilities assumed primarily include the contingent purchase price liabilities of $1.5 million.  The estimated fair values are considered provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the date of the Tekzenit acquisition.  Thus, the provisional measurements of fair value set forth above are subject to change.  Such changes are not expected to be significant. We expect to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but not later than one year from the acquisition date.

Forte Payment Systems, Inc.  In 2018, we acquired Forte Payment Systems, Inc. (“Forte”), a leading provider of advanced payment solutions headquartered in Allen, Texas.  We acquired 100% of the equity of Forte for a purchase price of approximately $93 million, (approximately $85 million, excluding cash acquired).  The purchase agreement also includes provisions for $18.8 million of potential future earn-out payments over a four-year measurement period.  The earn-out payments are tied to performance-based goals and a defined service period by the eligible recipients, and are therefore accounted for as post-acquisition compensation.  As of March 31, 2020, we have accrued $2.5 million related to the potential earn-out payments.
