The amount of goodwill is subject to change, as the Company’s fair value estimates associated with the Opus acquisition are considered preliminary estimates and are subject to refinement for a period of one year after the closing date of the acquisition. Acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Opus acquisition may be further refined as additional information related to those fair value estimates becomes available and such information is considered final.

The Company’s policy is to assess goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each year, and more frequently if events or circumstances lead management to believe the value of goodwill may be impaired. Given the volatility observed during 2020 in economic conditions as well as in the equity markets, triggered by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has performed an analysis of goodwill each quarter commencing with the quarter ended March 31, 2020. No impairment of goodwill was determined to exist as of the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020. The Company performed an analysis of goodwill during the third quarter of 2020 that consisted of a qualitative assessment to first determine if it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of the Company exceeds its carrying value. The results of this analysis indicated no impairment of goodwill as of September 30, 2020. Additionally, as part of the Company’s qualitative analysis, the Company analyzed market related data as additional corroborative evidence in its assessment of whether it was more likely than not the estimated fair value of the Company exceeds its carrying value. This assessment of market related data included an initial assessment of the fair value of the Company’s equity as compared to its carrying value with the assistance from an independent third party. The assessment of market related data included factors such as: the Company’s stock price on an actual, 15-day and 30-day average basis as of September 30, 2020, and an implied market participant acquisition premium, which was based upon control premiums for regional banks during the 2008 and 2009 financial crisis. This assessment provided additional supporting evidence as of September 30, 2020 that the carrying value of goodwill was not impaired.

The Company had other intangible assets of $90.0 million at September 30, 2020, consisting of $86.9 million in core deposit intangibles and $3.1 million in customer relationship intangibles. The Company had core deposit intangibles of $83.3 million at December 31, 2019. The additions of $16.1 million of core deposit intangibles and $3.2 million of customer relationship intangibles during the second quarter of 2020 was the result of the acquisition of Opus. The change in the gross balance of core deposit intangibles and customer relationship intangibles, and the related accumulated amortization consisted of the following for the periods indicated:

The Company amortizes core deposit intangibles and customer relationship intangibles based on the projected useful lives of the related deposits in the case of core deposit intangibles, and over the projected useful lives of the related client relationships in the case of customer relationship intangibles. The amortization periods typically range from six to eleven years. The estimated aggregate amortization expense related to our core deposit intangible and customer relationship intangible assets for each of the next five years succeeding December 31, 2019, in order from the present, is $17.1 million, $15.9 million, $14.0 million, $12.3 million, and $11.1 million. The Company analyzes core deposit intangibles and customer relationship intangibles annually for impairment, or sooner if events and circumstances indicate possible impairment. Factors that may attribute to impairment include customer attrition and run-off. Management is unaware of any events and/or circumstances that would indicate a possible impairment to the core deposit intangibles or customer relationship intangibles as of September 30, 2020.
