Stream Acquisition
Background and Financing

On January 6, 2014, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary (Merger Sub), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Stream and, for limited purposes, other Sellers listed in the Merger Agreement. On March 3, 2014, Merger Sub was merged with and into Stream (the Merger), with Stream continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Convergys. At the time of the Merger, each share of Stream common stock was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest.

The total purchase price, net of cash acquired, was $804.5, which was funded using available cash, borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility and proceeds from a term loan under the February 28, 2014 Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement consists of a term loan in the amount of $350.0 and a revolving credit facility in the amount of $300.0 (see Note 9, "Debt and Capital Lease Obligations" for the definition of these terms and further discussion).

The preliminary purchase price of Stream consisted of the following items:

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The Company accounted for Stream using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP whereby the total purchase price was preliminarily allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on respective fair values. The following table summarizes the preliminary values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

As of March 31, 2014, the purchase price allocation for the acquisition was preliminary and subject to completion. Adjustments to the current fair value estimates in the above table may occur as the process conducted for various valuations and assessments is finalized. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill are based on several strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the Stream acquisition. The benefits include an enhanced global footprint, attractive synergy opportunities of revenue streams and expanded language capabilities. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes and was entirely allocated to the Customer Management - Agent Services reporting unit.

The preliminary fair value of the customer relationship asset was determined using the income approach through an excess earnings analysis, with projected earnings being discounted at a rate of 11.0%. The customer relationship intangible asset represents relationships between Stream and its customers. Convergys applied the income approach through a relief-from-royalty analysis to determine the preliminary fair value of the Stream trade name asset. The determination of the useful lives was based upon consideration of market participant assumptions and transaction specific factors.

Impact on Operating Results

The results of Stream's operations have been included in Convergys' Consolidated Financial Statements since the March 3, 2014 date of acquisition. The following table provides sales and results of operations from the acquired Stream business included in Convergys' March 31, 2014 results:

Datacom Acquisition

On April 30, 2013, the Company acquired the business process outsourcing operations of New Zealand-based Datacom, including contact centers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Manila, Philippines. The purchase price of $20.0 AUD (approximately $20.0 USD) included $15.0 of cash paid at closing and $5.3 of debt obligations assumed, which were immediately paid by the Company, as well as working capital adjustments that were finalized during the third quarter of 2013. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recognized $12.2 of goodwill and $7.0 of customer relationship intangible asset. The customer relationship intangible asset will be amortized over an estimated economic useful life of 8 years. The determination of the useful life was based upon consideration of market participant and transaction specific factors. The Company included various industry studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors, future cash flows of the combined company and the relative stability of the acquired customer base. The acquired goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
