ACQUISITION
On June 1, 2015, we acquired 100% of the membership interests of Accent Marketing Services, L.L.C. ("ACCENT") pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with MDC Corporate (US) Inc. and MDC Acquisition Inc. ACCENT is a business process outsourcing company providing contact center services and customer engagement solutions across six locations in the U.S. and Jamaica. ACCENT’s data-driven approach helps brands maximize their engagement with consumers and enables brands to influence behavior, all while generating a better return on investment across all customer touch points, including phone, online and social media channels. The results of ACCENT's operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. ACCENT's customer engagement agency model and platform complements our Ideal Dialogue practice, significantly enhancing our solution set and commitment to results-driven analytics and customer insights for our clients. Accordingly, we paid a premium for ACCENT, resulting in the recognition of goodwill.
On June 1, 2015, consideration in the amount of $18,326, which included $2,326 of estimated working capital, was funded through borrowings from our secured revolving credit facility. See Note 9, "Debt," for further information. During the third quarter and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the working capital calculation was finalized and MDC agreed to refund the Company $834 as a result. This amount is accrued as of September 30, 2015 and has been subsequently collected. The purchase price allocation below reflects the final working capital calculation.
We accounted for the acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, whereby the purchase price paid was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from ACCENT based on their estimated fair values as of the closing date. Certain amounts are provisional and are subject to change.
 
The following summarizes the estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. These estimates of fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary, pending completion of a valuation, and therefore are subject to revisions that may result in adjustments to the values presented below:

The customer relationships and trade name have estimated useful lives of eight and six years, respectively. The goodwill recognized was attributable primarily to the acquired workforce, increased utilization of our global delivery platform and other synergistic benefits. Goodwill of $4,860 was assigned to our Domestic segment.
