Business Combinations [Abstract]  
Business and Asset Acquisitions Reverse Recapitalization
As discussed in Note 1, on November 20, 2019, Accel Entertainment, Inc., consummated a business combination pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, which has been accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, TPG Holdings Corp. acquired, directly or indirectly, all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock of Accel Entertainment, Inc. In connection with reverse recapitalization, TPG Pace Holdings Corp. changed its name to Accel Entertainment, Inc.
The consideration paid to holders of Accel stock in connection with the reverse recapitalization and subject to the terms and conditions of the Transaction Agreement, consisted of a mix of consideration comprised of cash consideration equal to the number of shares of Accel stock for which such holder of Accel stock made a cash election multiplied by $177 per share (the “Purchase Price”) and share consideration comprised of a number of Class A-1 Shares equal to the number of shares of Accel Stock for which such holder of Accel Stock did not make a cash election multiplied by an exchange ratio calculated by dividing the Purchase Price by $10.30, which was the closing price of the common stock of TPG Pace Holdings Corp. on November 20, 2019. In addition, each holder of Accel stock that made a cash election with respect to less than 70% of its shares of Accel stock received its pro rata share, with such pro rata share determined with reference to a number of shares equal to 70% of such holder’s shares of Accel Stock less the number of shares of Accel stock with respect to which such holder made a cash election, of 2,444,444 2019 Warrants, subject to
the conditions set forth in a warrant agreement and 3,000,000 Class A-2 Shares, subject to the conditions set forth in a restricted stock agreement.
In connection with the reverse recapitalization, TPG Pace Holdings and its affiliates converted 7,500,000 of Class A-1 Shares, 4,888,889 2019 Warrants subject to the conditions set forth in the New Pace Warrant Agreement and 2,000,000 Class A-2 Shares, subject to the conditions set forth in a restricted stock agreement.
As part of an Investment Private Placement, certain accredited investors (as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D) agreed to subscribe for and purchase and Pace agreed to issue and sell to such investors 4,696,675 Class A-1 Shares for a purchase price of $10.22 per share, or an aggregate of approximately $48 million. The proceeds from the Investment Private Placement was used to fund a portion of the cash consideration required in the reverse recapitalization.
In connection with the reverse recapitalization, Accel repurchased approximately 36,157 shares of its stock from certain employees, directors and officers at a repurchase price of $177 per share in order to facilitate (i) the repayment of existing loans to Accel’s executive officers, (ii) the exercise of vested options and (iii) funding any resulting tax obligations from the exercise of such vested options.
In accounting for the reverse recapitalization, the net equity infusion from the reverse recapitalization was $29.3 million as shown in the table below (in thousands):

Business and Asset Acquisitions
2019 Business Acquisitions
Grand River Jackpot
On August 26, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all issued and outstanding membership interests in Grand River Jackpot, LLC and subsidiaries (“Grand River”), a terminal operator licensed by the State of Illinois Gaming Board.
On September 16, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Grand River. Grand River had 2,009 VGTs in over 450 licensed establishments. The Company completed this transaction in order to expand its presence within the State of Illinois.
The acquisition aggregate purchase consideration transferred totaled $113.7 million, which included: i) a cash payment made at closing of $100.0 million; ii) a subsequent cash payment of approximately $6.6 million for a working capital adjustment and; iii) contingent purchase consideration with an estimated fair value of $7.1 million. The contingent consideration represents two installment payments that are to be paid, up to a maximum amount, as follows: i) $2.5 million within 30 days following the one-year anniversary of the acquisition closing date and; ii) $7.0 million within 30 days following the three-year anniversary of the acquisition closing date. These payments are subject to adjustment based on certain performance measures included within the purchase agreement. The estimated fair value was determined based on the Company’s expected probability of future payment, discounted using Grand River’s weighted average cost of capital. The cash payment made at closing and subsequent working capital adjustment payment were both funded with the Company’s existing credit facilities.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values. The areas of the purchase price that are not yet finalized are primarily related to the valuation of location contracts, property and equipment, contingent consideration, and a final adjustment to working capital. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill. The Grand River acquisition resulted in recorded goodwill as a result of a higher consideration multiple paid relative to prior similar acquisitions driven by maturity and quality of the operations and industry, including workforce and corresponding synergies, and is amortizable for income tax purposes. Management plans to integrate the Grand River acquisition into its existing business structure, which is comprised of a single reporting unit.

Accel Value, as defined, at the acquisition date and actual Accel Value, as defined, as of September 30, 2018. As a result of this adjustment, 3,956 shares of Common Stock A were received back from Fair Share and placed into treasury during the year ended December 31, 2018.
