The Company has recorded the provisional determination of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the information available to us as of the time of the issuance of these financial statements. Accordingly, the values recognized are subject to change until the Company finalizes the allocation of the consideration transferred during the measurement period, which is no later than one year from acquisition date. The final determination may result in asset and liability values that are different than the preliminary estimates. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets has been estimated using the income approach through a discounted cash flow analysis.

2023
In the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company completed the following acquisition that complemented the Company’s existing product offerings. The following table reflects the consideration transferred and the reportable segment for acquisition (in millions):
Biognosys, AG
On January 3, 2023, the Company acquired 97.15% of the outstanding stock of Biognosys, AG (“Biognosys”), a privately held company, for cash consideration of CHF 75 million (approximately $80.1 million) less assumed liability for employee awards of CHF 5.9 million (approximately $6.3 million). Biognosys offers mass spectrometry based next-generation proteomics contract research services as well as proprietary proteomics software and laboratory consumables to support academic, pharma and biotech research and clinical development. Biognosys is domiciled in Zurich, Switzerland, and was integrated into the BSI CALID Segment.
Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company entered into an agreement with the noncontrolling interest holders that provides the Company with the right to purchase, and the noncontrolling interest holders with the right to sell, the remaining 2.85% of Biognosys for cash to the founders at a contractually defined redemption value exercisable beginning in 2028. The option price to acquire the remaining 2.85% equity interest will have a minimum redemption, or floor, value at each purchase or sell date, subject to post combination employment. The fair value at the acquisition date of these put option rights has been bifurcated into two financial instruments to separately account for the amounts attributable to the put option rights to sell the non-controlling interests on exercise dates at (1) in a value above the minimum redemption value and (2) the minimum redemption value or floor value that is subject to post combination employment (the hybrid instrument) services.
The rights (embedded derivative) to the option shares can be sold at a minimum redemption value provided certain post combination employment services are met or at fair value, if above the floor, on the purchase or sell date. Therefore, the portion assigned to the minimum redemption value of option value of the hybrid instrument, which is tied to continued employment of the noncontrolling interest holders, was classified as a long-term liability on the consolidated balance sheet. The hybrid instrument was initially measured at fair value on the acquisition date and shall be accreted over the post combination service period. The acquisition date fair value of the hybrid instrument which is an embedded derivative was not material.
The rights associated with the portion of the noncontrolling interest above the minimum redemption value are contingently redeemable at the option of the Company or the noncontrolling interest holders. As redemption of the rights is contingently redeemable at the option of the noncontrolling interest shareholders, the Company classifies the carrying amount of these rights in the mezzanine section on the consolidated balance sheet, which is presented above the equity section and below liabilities. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is initially measured at fair value on the acquisition date and subsequently at the greater of the amount that would be paid if settlement occurred as of the balance sheet date based on fair value as defined in the purchase agreement and its carrying amount adjusted for net (loss) income attributable to the noncontrolling interest. Adjustments to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest are recorded through retained earnings.
The amortization period for the intangible assets acquired is seven years for the technology and nine years for the customer relationships. The trade name was determined to have an indefinite life. The Company expects to amortize backlog through the end of 2025.
