Acquisitions

Assets of Asuragen, Inc.

On August 13, 2014, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Interpace Diagnostics, LLC (Interpace or IDx), consummated an agreement to acquire certain fully developed thyroid and pancreas cancer diagnostic tests, other tests in development for thyroid cancer, associated intellectual property and a biobank with more than 5,000 patient tissue samples (collectively the Acquired Property) from Asuragen, Inc. (Asuragen) pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (the Agreement). The Company paid $8.0 million at closing and paid an additional $0.5 million to Asuragen for certain integral transition service obligations set forth in a transition services agreement, entered into concurrently with the Agreement. The Company also entered into two license agreements with Asuragen relating to the Company’s ability to sell the fully developed thyroid and pancreas cancer diagnostic tests and other tests in development for thyroid cancer. In addition, the Company will be obligated to make a milestone payment of $0.5 million to Asuragen upon the earlier of the launch of a pancreas product or February 13, 2016, and to pay royalties of 5.0% on the future net sales of the pancreas diagnostics product line for a period of ten years following a qualifying sale, 3.5% on the future net sales of the thyroid diagnostics product line through August 13, 2024 and 1.5% on the future net sales of certain other thyroid diagnostics products for a period of ten years following a qualifying sale, collectively the contingent consideration.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination, subject to the provisions of ASC 805-10-50, Business Combinations, and been treated as an asset acquisition for tax purposes. In connection with the transaction, the Company has preliminarily recorded $13.0 million of finite lived intangible assets having a weighted-average amortization period of 7.9 years. See Note 5, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for additional information.

The Company determined a preliminary acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration (inclusive of the aforementioned milestone payment and royalties on future net sales) of $4.5 million. The royalty portion of the contingent consideration is based on a probability-weighted income approach derived from estimated future revenues. The fair value measurement is based on significant subjective assumptions and inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 fair value measurement. Future revisions to these assumptions could materially change the estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration and therefore materially affect the Company’s future financial results. See Note 7, Fair Value Measurements, for further information. There was no change in the fair value of the contingent consideration during the period ended December 31, 2014. Going forward, the Company will estimate the change in the fair value of the contingent consideration as of each reporting period and recognize the change in fair value in the statement of comprehensive income (loss). The reconciliation of consideration given for the Acquired Property to the preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the assets and liabilities acquired based on their relative fair values is as follows:

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon a valuation for which the estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The final allocation price could differ materially from the preliminary allocation. Any subsequent changes to the purchase price allocation that result in material changes to the Company’s consolidated financial results will be adjusted accordingly.


The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations reflecting the Company’s acquisition of the Acquired Property are not provided as that presentation would require forward-looking information in order to meaningfully present the effects of the acquisition.

RedPath Integrated Pathology, Inc.

On October 31, 2014, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Interpace, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Agreement) to acquire RedPath Integrated Pathology, Inc. (RedPath), a molecular diagnostics company helping physicians better manage patients at risk for certain types of gastrointestinal cancers through its proprietary PathFinderTG® platform (the Transaction), and related documents (collectively, the Transaction Documents). This Transaction establishes Interpace in the upper gastroenterology cancer diagnostic market and provides the Company a growth platform in the diagnostic oncology space, particularly in endocrine and gastrointestinal cancer.


In addition to the Agreement, the Transaction Documents, dated October 31, 2014, include the following:

a Non-negotiable Subordinated Secured Promissory Note (the Note), dated October 31, 2014, by the Company in favor of RedPath Equityholder Representative, LLC (the Equityholder Representative);

a Contingent Consideration Agreement with the Equityholder Representative (the Contingent Consideration Agreement);
a Credit Agreement among the Company and the financial institutions party thereto from time to time as lenders (the Lenders) and agent for the Lenders (the Agent);

a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement by PDI, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries, in favor of the Agent (the Senior Guarantee);

a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the Subordinated Guarantee) by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries in favor of the Equityholder Representative; and

a Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement (the Intercreditor Agreement) by and among the Company, the Equityholder Representative and the Agent.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company paid net cash of
$13.4 million to the Equityholder Representative, on behalf of the equityholders of RedPath (the Equityholders), at the closing of the Transaction, inclusive of a working capital adjustment of $1.6 million. The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and RedPath. Subject to certain limitations, the parties will be required to indemnify each other for damages resulting from breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants made in the Agreement and certain other matters.

The Company also issued an interest-free Note to the Equityholder Representative, on behalf of the Equityholders, at the closing of the Transaction for
$11.0 million to be paid in eight equal consecutive quarterly installments beginning October 1, 2016. The interest rate will be 5.0% in the event of a default under the Note. The obligations of the Company under the Note are guaranteed by the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Subordinated Guarantee in favor of the Equityholder Representative. Pursuant to the Subordinated Guarantee, the Company and its Subsidiaries also granted a security interest in substantially all of their assets, including intellectual property, to secure their obligations to the Equityholder Representative. The Company has recorded the present value of the Note to the Equityholder Representative at approximately $7.3 million using a discount rate of 13.5%.

In connection with the Transaction, the Company also entered into the Contingent Consideration Agreement with the Equityholder Representative. Pursuant to the Contingent Consideration Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue to the Equityholders
500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (Common Stock), upon acceptance for publication of a specified article related to PathFinderTG® for the management of Barrett’s esophagus, and an additional 500,000 shares of Common Stock upon the commercial launch of PathFinderTG® for the management of Barrett’s esophagus (collectively, the Common Stock Milestones). The pending issuance of Common Stock have been recorded as Common Stock and Additional paid-in capital in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. In the event of a change of control of the Company, Interpace or RedPath on or before April 30, 2016, the Common Stock Milestones not then already achieved will be accelerated and the Equityholders will be immediately entitled to receive the Common Stock not yet previously issued to them. The Equityholders are entitled to an additional $5 million cash payment upon the achievement by the Company of $14.0 million or more in annual net sales of PathFinderTG® for the management of Barrett’s esophagus and a further $5 million cash payment upon the achievement by the Company of $37.0 million or more in annual net sales of a basket of assays of Interpace and RedPath. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay revenue based payments through 2025 of 6.5% on annual net sales above $12.0 million of PathFinderTG®-Pancreas, 10% on annual net sales up to $30 million of PathFinderTG® for the management of Barrett’s esophagus and 20% on annual net sales above $30 million of PathFinderTG® for the management of Barrett’s esophagus. These amounts were recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition and total $22.1 million for the cash portion and $1.8 million for the stock component.

In connection with the Transaction, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement with the Agent and the Lenders. Pursuant to and subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Lenders agreed to provide a term loan to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million (the Loan). The Company received net proceeds of approximately $19.6 million following payment of certain fees and expenses in connection with the Credit Agreement and the maturity date of the loan is October 31, 2020. The Loan bears interest at the greater of (a) three month LIBOR and (b) 1.0%, plus a margin of 12.5%, payable in cash quarterly in arrears, beginning on February 17, 2015. The interest rate will be increased by 3.0% in the event of a default under the Credit Agreement. Beginning in January 2017, the Company will be required to make principal payments on the Loan. Beginning in January 2017 and ending on October 31, 2020, subject to a $250,000 per quarter cap, the Lenders will be entitled to receive quarterly revenue based payments from the Company equal to 1.25x of revenue derived from net sales of molecular diagnostics products (the Synthetic Royalty) and a catch up provision in the fourth quarter of the calendar years ending December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019.

The Company agreed to pay certain out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Lenders and the Agent in connection with the Credit Agreement and related documents, the administration of the Loan and related documents or the enforcement or protection of the Lenders’ rights. The Lenders are also entitled to (a) a
$0.3 million origination fee and (b) a $0.8 million exit fee. In addition, if the Loan is prepaid, the Lenders are entitled to (c) a prepayment fee equal to 6.0% of the Loan if the Loan is prepaid on or after October 31, 2015 but prior to October 31, 2016, 5.0% of the Loan if the Loan is prepaid on or after October 31, 2016 but prior to October 31, 2017 and 2.0% if the Loan is prepaid on or after October 31, 2017 but prior to October 31, 2018, and (d) a prepayment premium applicable to the Synthetic Royalty equal to (i)(1) 1.25% multiplied by (2) the lesser of (A) $80.0 million and (B) the aggregate revenue on net sales of molecular diagnostics products for the four most recently-completed fiscal quarters, multiplied by (ii) the number of days remaining until October 31, 2020, divided by (iii) 360. The Company must also make a mandatory prepayment in connection with the disposition of certain of the Company’s assets. See Note 21, Long-term debt, for further information.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination, subject to the provisions of ASC 805-10-50 and has been treated as a stock acquisition for tax purposes. In connection with the transaction, the Company has preliminarily recorded
$15.5 million of goodwill and $34.5 million of finite lived intangible assets having a weighted-average amortization period of 8.1 years. See Note 7, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for additional information.

The Company determined a preliminary acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration (inclusive of the aforementioned milestone payments, royalties on future net sales and Common Stock Milestones) of $23.9 million. The royalty portion of the contingent consideration is based on a probability-weighted income approach derived from estimated future revenues. The fair value measurement is based on significant subjective assumptions and inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 fair value measurement. Future revisions to these assumptions could materially change the estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration and therefore materially affect the Company’s future financial results. See Note 4, Fair Value Measurements, for further information. There was no change in the fair value of the contingent consideration during the period ended December 31, 2014. Going forward, the Company will estimate the change in the fair value of the contingent consideration as of each reporting period and recognize the change in fair value in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). In addition, the Company recorded an indemnification asset and liability of $2.5 million related to a joint settlement reached between RedPath and the DOJ, with no charges ever being filed against RedPath. The indemnification asset and liability are recorded within Other long-term assets and Other long-term liabilities, respectively.

The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in each of acquisitions above are considered preliminary and are based on the most recent information available. The provisional measurements of fair value set forth above are subject to change. We expect to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but not later than one-year from the acquisition dates.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 assume that the Company had acquired 100% of the membership interests in RedPath as of the beginning of the period presented.  The pro forma results include estimates and assumptions which management believes are reasonable.  However, pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition had been consummated as of the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results.
