2022 Acquisitions
During 2022, the Company acquired Levarti, an airline software platform company reported in the Lodging segment; Accrualify, an accounts payable (AP) automation software company reported in the Corporate Payments segment; Plugsurfing, a European EV software and network provider reported in the Fleet segment; and Roomex, a European workforce lodging provider reported in the Lodging segment. The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions was approximately $197.6 million, net of cash. The Company financed the acquisitions using a combination of available cash and borrowings under its existing credit facility. In connection with one of these acquisitions, the Company signed noncompete agreements of $1.1 million with certain parties affiliated with the business for which the Company is still completing the valuation. These noncompete agreements were accounted for separately from the business acquisition.
Acquisition accounting is preliminary as the Company is still completing the valuation for goodwill, intangible assets, income taxes, working capital, and contingencies.

2021 Acquisitions
ALE
On September 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of ALE Solutions, Inc. (ALE), a U.S.-based provider of lodging solutions to the insurance industry, for a net purchase price of $421.8 million. The purpose of this acquisition is to expand the Company's lodging business into the insurance vertical. The Company financed the acquisition using a combination of available cash and borrowings under its existing credit facility. The results from the acquisition are reported in the Lodging segment.
In connection with this acquisition, the Company signed noncompete agreements with certain parties affiliated with the business with an estimated fair value of $18.3 million. These noncompete agreements were accounted for separately from the business acquisition. Accounting for the fair values of the ALE customer relationship intangible asset was subjective due to the uncertainty in estimating customer attrition rates, which had a significant impact on the estimated fair values. The customer attrition rates are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.
The following table summarizes the final acquisition accounting for ALE (in thousands):
