Acquisitions and Dispositions Acquisitions and Dispositions
In 2021, we completed the acquisition of operations from G4S plc (“G4S”) and acquired PAI Midco, Inc. In 2020, we acquired multiple business operations from G4S at different times during the year. In 2019, we acquired four business operations. We accounted for these acquisitions as business combinations using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed from these operations are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. The consolidated statements of operations include the results of operations for each acquired entity from the date of acquisition.

PAI, Midco Inc.
On April 1, 2021, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of PAI Midco, Inc., which directly or indirectly owns 100% of the ownership interests in four additional entities (collectively, "PAI"), for approximately $216 million. PAI was the largest privately-held provider of ATM services in the U.S. and generated approximately $94 million in revenues in 2020.

We have provisionally estimated fair values for the assets purchased, liabilities assumed and purchase consideration as of the date of the acquisition in the following table. The determination of estimated fair value required management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The amounts reported are considered provisional as we are completing the valuations that are required to allocate the purchase price in areas such as taxes and goodwill. As a result, the allocation of the provisional purchase price may change in the future.

(a)Intangible assets are composed of customer relationships ($60 million fair value and 10 year amortization period), developed technology ($26 million fair value and 12 year amortization period) and a trade name ($9 million fair value and 5 year amortization period).
(b)Consists of intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, combined with synergies expected from integrating PAI's operations with our existing Brink's U.S. operations. All goodwill has been assigned to the North America reporting unit. We expect less than $2 million of goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.
G4S Acquisitions
On February 26, 2020, we announced that we agreed to acquire the majority of the cash management operations of U.K.-based G4S, with closings planned in multiple phases in 2020. In March 2020, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of G4S International Logistics Group Limited, a company which directly or indirectly owns controlling interests in multiple businesses providing secure international transportation of valuables. In the second quarter of 2020, we acquired cash management operations from G4S located in the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Romania, the Czech Republic, Malaysia, the Dominican Republic and the Philippines. In the third quarter of 2020, we acquired operations in Indonesia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. In the first quarter of 2021, we acquired operations in Macau, Luxembourg and Kuwait, which completed the remaining planned G4S transactions. For the majority of the acquisitions in 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, we acquired 100% of the ownership interests. In Malaysia, the Dominican Republic, the Philippines, Indonesia and Kuwait, we acquired ownership interests of less than 100%. We believe that we meet the accounting criteria for consolidating these subsidiaries. In the aggregate, the purchase consideration for the G4S acquisitions as of December 31, 2021 is $826 million. We also paid G4S approximately $114 million for net intercompany receivables from the acquired subsidiaries. The G4S businesses acquired generated approximately $800 million in revenues in 2019.

The contingent consideration noted in the following table below is related to the acquisition of the Malaysia operations. The consideration will be paid when minimum dividend distributions are received by Brink's relating to cash on the balance sheets of the Malaysia subsidiaries as of the acquisition date. We used a probability-weighted approach to estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration. The fair value of the contingent consideration reflected in the table below is the full $22 million that remains potentially payable as of December 31, 2021 as we believe it is unlikely that the contingent consideration payments will be reduced.

We finalized our purchase price accounting in 2021 for the businesses we acquired in 2020. For the remaining businesses acquired from G4S in 2021, we have provisionally estimated fair values for the assets purchased, liabilities assumed and purchase consideration as of the date of the acquisition in the following table. The determination of estimated fair value required management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The amounts reported are considered provisional as we are completing the valuations that are required to allocate the purchase price, primarily in the areas of taxes and goodwill. As a result, the allocation of the provisional purchase price may change in the future.

We do not currently expect goodwill in these reporting units to be deductible for tax purposes.
Rodoban Transportes Aereos e Terrestres Ltda., Rodoban Servicos e Sistemas de Seguranca Ltda., and Rodoban Seguranca e Transporte de Valores Ltda ("Rodoban")
Brazilian cash management business

On January 4, 2019, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Rodoban in Brazil for $134 million. The Rodoban business expanded our operations in southeastern Brazil and was integrated into our existing Brink's Brazil operations. Rodoban has approximately 2,900 employees, 13 branches and about 190 armored vehicles across its operations.

We estimated fair values for the assets purchased, liabilities assumed and purchase consideration as of the date of the acquisition in the following table. The determination of estimated fair value required management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We finalized our purchase price accounting in the fourth quarter of 2019. There have been no significant changes to our fair value estimates of the net assets acquired of Rodoban.

Other 2019 acquisitions

On June 12, 2019, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Balance Innovations, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary, Balance Innovations Services, Inc. (together "BI"). BI develops and licenses software that provides real-time data to optimize operations for general retail and convenience store industries throughout the United States and Canada. This acquisition enhances our ability to deliver technology-enabled, end-to-end retail cash management services.

On June 14, 2019, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Comercio Eletronico Facil Ltda. ("COMEF"), a Brazil-based company. COMEF offers bank correspondent services and bill payment processing and supplements our existing Brazilian payment services businesses.

On September 30, 2019, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Transportadora de Valores del Sur Limitada and its wholly owned subsidiary, TVS Pagos, Recaudos y Procesos S.A.S. (together "TVS"). TVS provides CIT and money processing services in Colombia. This acquisition provides opportunities for branch consolidation and route efficiencies and positions our existing Colombian business as well as TVS to more effectively service our customers.

The aggregate purchase price of these three business acquisitions (BI, COMEF, and TVS) was $49 million. These three acquired operations employ approximately 1,300 people in the aggregate.

For these three business acquisitions (BI, COMEF and TVS), we estimated fair values for the assets purchased and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisitions. These estimated amounts are aggregated in the following table. The determination of estimated fair value required management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We finalized our purchase price accounting for these business acquisitions in 2020.

Acquisition costs

We have incurred $6.5 million in transaction costs related to business acquisitions in 2021 ($19.3 million in 2020 and $7.9 million in 2019). These costs are classified in the consolidated statement of operations as selling, general and administrative expenses.

Dispositions

On January 1, 2020, we sold 100% of our ownership interest in a French security services company for a net sales price of approximately $11 million. We recognized a $4.5 million gain on the sale of this business in 2020, which is reported in interest and other nonoperating income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. The French security services company was part of the Europe reportable segment and reported revenues of $3 million in 2019.
