Acquisitions

On October 31, 2018, the Company acquired the debit card processing, ATM Managed Services, and MoneyPass® surcharge-free network of Elan Financial Services, a unit of U.S. Bancorp (“Elan”), for approximately $660 million. Such purchase price includes an initial cash payment of $691 million, less the receipt of post-closing working capital adjustments of $57 million in 2019, plus contingent consideration related to earn-out provisions estimated at a fair value of $12 million and future payments under a transition services agreement estimated to be in excess of fair value of $14 million. This acquisition, included within the Payments segment, deepens the Company’s presence in debit card processing, broadens its client reach and scale, and provides new solutions to enhance the value proposition for its existing debit solution clients.

The preliminary allocation of purchase price recorded for Elan was as follows:



(In millions)
Trade accounts receivable	$	20
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	94
Property and equipment	9
Intangible assets	353
Goodwill	240
Accounts payable and other current liabilities	(56		)
Total purchase price	$	660

The amounts allocated to goodwill and intangible assets were based on preliminary valuations and are subject to final adjustment. Goodwill, expected to be deductible for tax purposes, is primarily attributed to synergies, including the migration of Elan’s clients to the Company’s debit platform, and the anticipated value created by selling the Company’s products and services outside of card payments to Elan’s existing client base. The values allocated to intangible assets are as follows:



(In millions)	Gross Carrying Amount		Weighted-Average Useful Life
Customer related intangible assets	$	350	15 years
Trade name	3		8 years
	$	353	15 years

In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company entered into a transition services agreement for the provision of certain processing, network, administrative and managed services for a period of two years. The results of operations for Elan, consisting of $46 million of revenue and $9 million of operating income including $6 million of acquired intangible asset amortization, have been included within the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

On January 16, 2019, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire First Data Corporation (“First Data”) in an all-stock transaction for an equity value of approximately $22 billion as of the announcement. The transaction is expected to close during the second half of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
