Lumen

In October 2023, the Company acquired certain customer contracts from Lumen Technologies, Inc ("Lumen"), a content delivery provider, and certain of its affiliates. The preliminary purchase price was $75.0 million and is expected to be allocated to a customer-related intangible asset that will be amortized in a pattern that matches expense with expected economic benefits. The acquisition is intended to further strengthen the Company's existing content delivery and other businesses as the Company transitions the acquired customers to its Akamai Connected Cloud and offers its portfolio of other services to such customers.

StackPath

In August 2023, the Company acquired certain customer contracts from StackPath, LLC ("StackPath"), a content delivery provider, and certain of its affiliates. The preliminary purchase price was $47.2 million which includes costs to acquire assets and an estimated additional payment for the expected achievement of certain post-closing milestones. As of September 30, 2023, the Company paid $36.3 million of the purchase price in cash to StackPath and expects to pay the remaining consideration, if payable, by the end of the second quarter of 2024. The purchase price was allocated to a customer-related intangible asset that will be amortized over 13.4 years in a pattern that matches expense with expected economic benefits. The acquisition is intended to further strengthen the Company’s existing content delivery and other businesses as the Company transitions the acquired customers to its Akamai Connected Cloud and offers its portfolio of other services to such customers.

Business Acquisitions

Business acquisition-related costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $0.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expense in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income. Pro forma results of operations for the acquisitions completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 have not been presented because the effects of the acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to the Company's consolidated financial results. Revenue and earnings of the acquired companies since the dates of the acquisitions are included in the Company's interim condensed consolidated statements of income and are not presented separately because they are not material.

Neosec

In May 2023, the Company acquired all the outstanding equity interests of Neosec, Inc. ("Neosec") for $91.4 million in cash. Neosec is an application programming interface ("API") detection and response platform based on data and behavioral analytics. The acquisition is intended to complement the Company's application and API security portfolio by extending its visibility into the rapidly growing API threat landscape. The Company allocated $66.9 million of the purchase price to goodwill and $19.9 million to identifiable intangible assets, primarily consisting of completed technologies. The total weighted average useful life of the intangible assets acquired from Neosec is 9.7 years. The intangible assets are being amortized based upon the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are being utilized. The value of the goodwill can be attributed to a number of business factors, including the expected impact from the ability to interface with the Company's platform. The Company expects that $33.8 million of the goodwill related to the acquisition of Neosec will be deductible for tax purposes as a result of post-acquisition transactions. As of September 30, 2023, the purchase price allocation was substantially complete except for the finalization of certain income tax matters.

StorageOS

In March 2023, the Company acquired all the outstanding equity interests of StorageOS, Inc. ("StorageOS"), also known as Ondat, a cloud-based storage technology provider for $20.6 million in cash. The acquisition of StorageOS's cloud storage technology and its industry-recognized talent is intended to strengthen the Company's cloud computing offerings. Storage is a key component of any cloud computing offering, and this acquisition is expected to enhance the Company's storage capabilities, allowing the Company to offer a fundamentally different approach to cloud that integrates core and distributed computing sites with a massively scaled edge network. The Company allocated $14.0 million of the purchase price to goodwill and $4.5 million to a completed technology identifiable intangible asset with a useful life of 8.8 years. The intangible assets are being amortized based upon the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are being utilized. The value of the goodwill is primarily attributable to synergies related to the integration of StorageOS technology onto the Company's platform as well as a
trained technical workforce. All of the goodwill related to the acquisition of StorageOS is expected to be deductible for tax purposes as a result of post-acquisition transactions. As of September 30, 2023, the purchase price allocation was substantially complete except for the finalization of certain income tax matters.
