Business Combination

On January 4, 2019, we completed the acquisition of Leerink Holdings LLC, the Boston-based parent company of healthcare and life science investment bank Leerink Partners LLC, now SVB Leerink Holdings LLC ("SVB Leerink"). The acquisition was previously announced on November 13, 2018. SVB Leerink is an investment bank specializing in Equity & Convertible Capital Markets, Mergers & Acquisitions, Equity Research and Sales & Trading for growth and innovation-minded healthcare and life science companies and operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SVB Financial.

We acquired SVB Leerink for approximately $270.9 million comprised of cash and share-based replacement award liabilities. The previously announced agreed upon purchase price of $280.0 million included $9.1 million of post-combination expenses related to share-based replacement awards. In addition, we provided a retention pool for employees of $60.0 million to be paid over five years comprised of a mix of cash and equity issued under the Company's current Equity Incentive Plan.
