2017 Acquisitions

On April 28, 2017, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire Cambridge Global Payments (“Cambridge”), a leading business to business (B2B) international payments provider, for approximately $690 million in cash. Cambridge processes B2B cross-border payments, assisting business clients in making international payments to suppliers and employees. The purpose of this acquisition is to further expand the Company's corporate payments footprint. This acquisition is expected to be completed by September 1, 2017.

2016 Acquisitions

STP
On August 31, 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Serviços e Tecnologia de Pagamentos S.A. (“STP”), for approximately $1.23 billion, net of cash acquired of $40.2 million. STP is an electronic toll payments company in Brazil and provides cardless fuel payments at a number of Shell sites throughout Brazil. The purpose of this acquisition was to expand the Company's presence in the toll market in Brazil. The Company financed the acquisition using a combination of existing cash and borrowings under its existing credit facility. Results from the acquired business have been reported in the Company's international segment since the date of acquisition. The following table summarizes the preliminary acquisition accounting for STP (in thousands):

In connection with the STP acquisition, the Company recorded contingent liabilities aggregating $13.5 million in the consolidated balance sheet, recorded within other noncurrent liabilities and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet at the date of acquisition. A portion of these acquired liabilities have been indemnified by the respective sellers. As a result, an indemnification asset of $13.0 million was recorded within prepaid and other current assets and other long term assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The contingent liabilities and the indemnification asset are included in the preliminary acquisition accounting for STP at the date of acquisition. The potential range of acquisition related contingent liabilities that the Company estimates could be incurred and ultimately expected to be recoverable is $13.5 million to $18.6 million. Along with the Company's acquisition of STP, the Company signed noncompete agreements with certain parties for approximately $21.6 million.

Acquisition accounting for STP is preliminary as the Company is still completing the valuation for intangible assets, income taxes, certain acquired contingencies and the working capital adjustment period remains open. Goodwill recognized is comprised primarily of expected synergies from combining the operations of the Company and STP, as well as assembled workforce. The goodwill and definite lived intangibles acquired with this business is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
