Acquisitions and Joint Venture
Note 2. Acquisitions and Joint Venture
All acquisitions were funded by cash generated from operations or facility borrowings.
For business acquisitions, the Company recorded tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the applicable date of acquisition. For asset acquisitions, the Company recorded tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated and relative fair values as of the applicable date of acquisition.
On November 1, 2022, CooperVision completed the acquisition of a privately-held U.S.-based company that provides a broad portfolio of technologically advanced contact lens products, including scleral and hybrid lenses. The purchase price of the
acquisition was $33.0 million. Based upon preliminary valuations, assets acquired primarily comprised of $12.6 million of customer relationship related intangibles, $7.6 million of technology, and $13.1 million of goodwill. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation is preliminary, and the Company is in the process of finalizing information primarily related to the effect on taxes and the corresponding impact on goodwill.

Refer to "Joint Venture" below for details on formation of a joint venture with Essilor International and related activities that occurred in fiscal year 2022 following the acquisition of SightGlass Vision, Inc. (SGV) in fiscal year 2021.

On April 6, 2022, CooperSurgical entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire Cook Medical's Reproductive Health business, a manufacturer of minimally invasive medical devices focused on the fertility, obstetrics and gynecology markets. The aggregate consideration is $875.0 million in cash, with $675.0 million payable at the closing and the remaining $200.0 million payable in $50.0 million installments following each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the closing. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, such as receipt of required regulatory approvals.

Generate Life Sciences®

On December 17, 2021, CooperSurgical completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in Generate Life Sciences (Generate), a privately held leading provider of donor egg and sperm for fertility treatments, fertility cryopreservation services and newborn stem cell storage (cord blood & cord tissue), and paid an aggregate purchase consideration of approximately $1.663 billion, reflecting working capital, and other adjustments. The cash consideration was funded through a combination of $1.5 billion in proceeds from the issuance of a senior unsecured term loan and available cash on hand.

Customer relationships will be amortized over 20 years and trademarks will be amortized over 15 years. Goodwill is primarily attributable to assembled workforce and expected synergies to be achieved. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
The transaction costs associated with the acquisition consisted primarily of legal, regulatory and financial advisory fees, which were expensed as incurred as selling, general and administrative expense.

Joint Venture

On January 19, 2021, CooperVision acquired all of the remaining equity interests of SGV, a privately-held medical device company that developed spectacle lenses for myopia management. The transaction included potential payments of future consideration that were contingent upon the achievement of the regulatory approval milestone (the regulatory approval payment) and the acquired business reaching certain revenue thresholds over a specified period (the revenue payments). The undiscounted range of the contingent consideration was zero to $139.1 million payable to the other former equity interest owners.

In March 2022, the entities amended the terms of the contingent consideration, which resulted in CooperVision paying $42.9 million to the former equity interest owners in exchange for the elimination of the revenue payments. CooperVision recognized a net gain of $12.2 million during fiscal 2022.

Further, CooperVision and Essilor International SAS (Essilor) executed the Contribution Agreement and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreements”) in March 2022. Essilor paid CooperVision $52.1 million in exchange for 50% interest in SGV and their proportionate share of the revenue payments. As part of the Agreements, each party contributed their interest in SGV and $10 million in cash to form a new joint venture. CooperVision then remeasured the fair value of its retained equity investment in the joint venture at $90.0 million which resulted in a $56.9 million gain in Other (income) expense on deconsolidation of SGV in fiscal 2022.

As of January 31, 2023, CooperVision determined that approval would not be achieved within the timeline set forth in the contractual terms of the regulatory approval payment and released the remaining $31.8 million contingent consideration liability.

Additional information regarding the joint venture is included in our notes to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022.
