13. Acquisitions

Jibe Consulting, Inc.

Effective May 1, 2017, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Jibe Consulting, Inc. (“Jibe”), a U.S.-based Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle Cloud Business Application implementation firm. The acquisition of Jibe enhances the Company’s Cloud Application capabilities and strongly complements its market leading EPM transformation and technology implementation group.

The sellers’ purchase consideration was $5.4 million in cash, not subject to vesting, and $3.6 million in shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to vesting. The initial cash consideration was funded from borrowings under the Revolver. The equity that was issued has a four-year vesting term and will be recorded as compensation expense over the respective vesting period. In addition, the sellers earned contingent consideration of $0.7 million of cash and $1.0 million of equity based on the achievement of performance targets over the 18 months following the closing.     

The cash related to the contingent consideration, which was paid to the sellers, is not subject to service vesting and has been accounted for as part of the purchase consideration. The cash related to the contingent consideration, which was to be paid to the key employees, is subject to service vesting and was accounted for as compensation expense. Due to the projected earnout results, during the first quarter of 2019, the acquisition-related purchase consideration and compensation expense allocated to both the selling shareholders and key employees resulted in a benefit of $1.2 million in earnings from operations on the consolidated statement of operations related to the contingent earnout liability for the Jibe acquisition. These contingent liabilities were recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as current accrued expenses and other liabilities. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the contingent liabilities were settled.
