Business Combinations and Divestitures
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we completed three acquisitions, two of which are included in our Marketplaces segment and one in our Payments segment, for aggregate purchase consideration of approximately $149 million, consisting primarily of cash. The allocation of the purchase consideration resulted in net liabilities of approximately $21 million, purchased intangible assets of $70 million and goodwill of $100 million. The allocations of the purchase price for these acquisitions have been prepared on a preliminary basis and changes to those allocations may occur as additional information becomes available. The consolidated financial statements include the operating results of the acquired businesses since the respective dates of the acquisitions. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effect of the acquisitions were not material to our financial results.
In May 2012, we completed the sale of Rent.com for proceeds of approximately $145 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $118 million. The results of operations from Rent.com are not material to any period presented.
GSI
We acquired GSI on June 17, 2011. In conjunction with the acquisition of GSI, we immediately divested 100 percent of GSI's licensed sports merchandise business and 70 percent of GSI's ShopRunner and RueLaLa businesses (together, the "divested businesses").
Pro forma financial information
The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of our operations and those of GSI for the period shown as though the acquisition of GSI and the sale of the divested businesses had occurred as of the beginning of fiscal year 2011. The unaudited pro forma financial information for the period presented includes the business combination accounting effects of the acquisition, including amortization charges from acquired intangible assets. The unaudited pro forma financial information presented below is for informational purposes only, is subject to a number of estimates, assumptions and other uncertainties, and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition and divestiture had taken place at January 1, 2011. The unaudited pro forma financial information is as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):
