On November 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of the parent company of Kemp Technologies, Inc. (“Kemp”) pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of September 23, 2021. The acquisition was completed for a base purchase price of $258.0 million, subject to certain customary adjustments as further described in the Purchase Agreement (the “Aggregate Consideration”), which was paid in cash from existing cash balances. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, $2.0 million of the Aggregate Consideration was deposited into an escrow account to secure certain potential obligations of the former Kemp equity holders.

Kemp is an application experience company that helps enterprises deliver, optimize and secure applications and networks across any cloud or hybrid environment. With this acquisition, we extended our portfolio of products in DevOps, Application Development, Data Connectivity and Digital Experience, adding Application Experience Management (AX). Kemp Loadmaster and Flowmon Network Visibility products monitor application performance, and distribute and balance traffic and workloads across servers, in the cloud or on premise, ensuring high performance and availability.

The Aggregate Consideration has been preliminarily allocated to Kemp’s tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values. The preliminary fair value estimates of the net assets acquired are based upon preliminary calculations and valuations, and those estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information for those estimates during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The excess of the total consideration over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill.


	Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation		Life
Net working capital	$	27,075
Property, plant and equipment	803
Purchased technology	39,400		5 years
Trade name	7,200		5 years
Customer relationships	75,500		5 years
Other assets	170
Other noncurrent liabilities	(604)
Deferred taxes	(23,187)
Deferred revenue	(29,997)
Goodwill	179,521
Net assets acquired	$	275,881

The fair value of the intangible assets was estimated using the income approach in which the after-tax cash flows are discounted to present value. The cash flows are based on estimates used to value the acquisition, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model as well as the weighted average cost of capital. The valuation assumptions take into consideration our estimates of customer attrition, technology obsolescence, and revenue growth projections. Based on the preliminary valuation, the acquired intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships of approximately $75.5 million, existing technology of approximately $39.4 million, and trade names of approximately $7.2 million.

Tangible assets acquired and assumed liabilities were recorded at fair value. As described in Note 1: Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, we adopted ASU 2021-08, which amended ASC 805 to require acquiring entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. We determined the acquisition date deferred revenue balance based on our assessment of the individual contracts acquired and our application of Topic 606. A significant portion of the deferred revenue is expected to be recognized in the 12 months following the acquisition.

We recorded the excess of the purchase price over the identified tangible and intangible assets as goodwill. We believe that the investment value of the future enhancement of our product and solution offerings created as a result of this acquisition has principally contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of $179.5 million of goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

Acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., legal, due diligence, valuation, and other professional fees) and certain acquisition restructuring and related charges are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are required to be expensed as incurred. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021, we incurred approximately $1.9 million of acquisition-related costs, which are included in acquisition-related expenses on our consolidated statement of operations.

The amount of revenue of Kemp included in our consolidated statement of operations during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021 was approximately $5.9 million. We determined that disclosing the amount of Kemp related earnings included in the consolidated statements of operations is impracticable, as certain operations of Kemp were integrated into the operations of the Company from the date of acquisition.

The following pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of Progress and Kemp as if the acquisition had occurred on December 1, 2019, after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments reflected herein include only those adjustments that are directly attributable to the Kemp acquisition and factually supportable. These pro forma adjustments include: (i) an increase in revenue from Kemp as a result of the application of Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in the business combination, (ii) a net increase in amortization expense to record amortization expense relating to the $122.1 million of acquired identifiable intangible assets, (iii) a decrease in interest expense to remove the interest expense associated with Kemp’s debt obligations, and (iv) the income tax effect of the adjustments made at the statutory tax rate of the U.S. (approximately 24.5%).

The pro forma financial information does not reflect any adjustments for anticipated expense savings resulting from the acquisition and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have actually occurred had the transaction been consummated on December 1, 2019. These results are prepared in accordance with ASC 606.

On October 5, 2020, we completed the acquisition of Chef Software Inc. (“Chef”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of September 4, 2020. The acquisition was completed for a base purchase price of $220.0 million, subject to certain customary adjustments as further described in the Merger Agreement (the “Aggregate Consideration”), which was paid in cash. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, $12.0 million of the Aggregate Consideration was deposited into an escrow account to secure certain indemnification and other potential obligations of the former Chef equity holders.

Chef is a global leader in DevOps and DevSecOps, providing complete infrastructure automation to build, deploy, manage and secure applications in modern multi-cloud and hybrid environments, as well as on-premises. Chef has enhanced our position as a trusted provider of the best products to develop, deploy and manage high-impact applications by providing industry-leading compliance and application automation products for multi-cloud and on-prem infrastructure. The acquisition bolstered our core offerings, enabling customers to respond faster to business demands and improve efficiency. We funded the acquisition through a combination of existing cash resources and by drawing down $98.5 million from our existing revolving credit facility. Refer to Note 9: Debt for further information.

The Aggregate Consideration has been allocated to Chef’s tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the total consideration over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill.

We recorded measurement period adjustments in accordance with FASB’s guidance regarding business combinations in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2021 based on our valuation and purchase price allocation procedures. The measurement period adjustments, which were completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, resulted in a decrease to goodwill of $0.3 million, primarily due to a decrease to accrued expenses and deferred taxes.

Tangible assets acquired and assumed liabilities were recorded at fair value. The valuation of the assumed deferred revenue was based on our contractual commitment to provide post-contract customer support to Chef customers and future contractual performance obligations under existing hosting arrangements. The fair value of this assumed liability was based on the estimated cost plus a reasonable margin to fulfill these service obligations. A significant portion of the deferred revenue was recognized in the 12 months following the acquisition.

We recorded the excess of the purchase price over the identified tangible and intangible assets as goodwill. We believe that the investment value of the future enhancement of our product and solution offerings created as a result of this acquisition has principally contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of $59.6 million of goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

Acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., legal, due diligence, valuation, and other professional fees) and certain acquisition restructuring and related charges are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are required to be expensed as incurred. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021, we incurred approximately $0.7 million of acquisition-related costs, which are included in acquisition-related expenses on our consolidated statement of operations.

The operations of Chef are included in our operating results from the date of acquisition. We determined that disclosing the amount of Chef related earnings included in the consolidated statements of operations is impracticable, as certain operations of Chef were integrated into the operations of the Company from the date of acquisition.

The following pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of Progress and Chef as if the acquisition had occurred on December 1, 2018, after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments reflected herein include only those adjustments that are directly attributable to the Chef acquisition and factually supportable. These pro forma adjustments include (i) a decrease in revenue from Chef due to the beginning balance of deferred revenue being adjusted to reflect the fair value of the acquired balance, (ii) a net increase in amortization expense to record amortization expense for the $141.3 million of acquired identifiable intangible assets, (iii) an increase in interest expense to record interest for the period presented as a result of drawing down our revolving credit facility in connection with the acquisition, and (iv) the income tax effect of the adjustments made at the statutory tax rate of the U.S. (approximately 24.5%).

The pro forma financial information does not reflect any adjustments for anticipated expense savings resulting from the acquisition and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have actually occurred had the transaction been consummated on December 1, 2018. These results are prepared in accordance with ASC 606.

On April 30, 2019, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of Ipswitch, Inc. (“Ipswitch”) from Roger Greene (the “Seller”) pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 28, 2019, by and among Progress, Ipswitch and the Seller. The acquisition was completed for an aggregate purchase price of $225.0 million, subject to certain customary adjustments as further described in the Stock Purchase Agreement, which was paid in cash. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, $22.5 million of the purchase price was deposited into an escrow account to secure certain indemnification and other potential obligations of the Seller to Progress. This escrow was released in full in May 2020 upon expiration of the twelve-month escrow period. The Seller also received an award of approximately $2.0 million in Progress restricted stock as consideration for the Seller entering into a non-competition agreement for three years as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

Ipswitch enables approximately 24,000 small and medium-sized businesses and enterprises to provide secure data sharing and ensure high-performance infrastructure availability. Through this acquisition, we bolstered our core offerings to small and medium-sized businesses and enterprises, enabling those businesses to respond faster to business demands and to improve productivity. We funded the acquisition through a combination of existing cash resources and a $185.0 million term loan, which is part of our $401.0 million term loan and revolving line of credit. Refer to Note 9: Debt for further information.

The purchase price has been allocated to Ipswitch’s tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the total consideration over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill.

We recorded measurement period adjustments in accordance with FASB’s guidance regarding business combinations in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 and the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 based on our valuation and purchase price allocation procedures. The measurement period adjustments, which were completed during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, resulted in a decrease to goodwill of $0.6 million, primarily due to a decrease to the sales tax reserve, partially offset by increased accrued expenses.

Property, plant and equipment	4,661		—		4,661

The fair value of the intangible assets has been estimated using the income approach in which the after-tax cash flows are discounted to present value. The cash flows are based on estimates used to value the acquisition, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model as well as the weighted average cost of capital. The valuation assumptions take into consideration the Company's estimates of customer attrition, technology obsolescence, and revenue growth projections. Based on the valuation, the acquired intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships of approximately $66.6 million, existing technology of approximately $33.1 million, and trade names of approximately $9.6 million.

Tangible assets acquired and assumed liabilities were recorded at fair value. The valuation of the assumed deferred revenue was based on our contractual commitment to provide post-contract customer support to Ipswitch customers and future contractual performance obligations under existing hosting arrangements. The fair value of this assumed liability was based on the estimated cost plus a reasonable margin to fulfill these service obligations. A significant portion of the deferred revenue was recognized in the 12 months following the acquisition.

We recorded the excess of the purchase price over the identified tangible and intangible assets as goodwill. We believe that the investment value of the future enhancement of our product offerings created as a result of this acquisition has principally contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of $117.0 million of goodwill, which is deductible for tax purposes.

An election was made under Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code for Ipswitch to treat the transaction as a sale of all its assets on the acquisition date and subsequent liquidation. As a result, the identifiable intangible assets and goodwill are deductible for tax purposes.

As previously noted, the Seller received a restricted stock award of approximately $2.0 million, subject to continued compliance with the three-year non-compete agreement. We concluded that the restricted stock award is not a compensation arrangement and we recorded the fair value of the award as an intangible asset separate from goodwill. We will recognize intangible asset amortization expense over the term of the agreement, which is 3 years. We recorded $0.7 million of amortization expense related to this restricted stock award for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021 in operating expenses on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., legal, due diligence, valuation, and other professional fees) and certain acquisition restructuring and related charges are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are required to be expensed as incurred. We did not incur acquisition-related transaction costs during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021.

The operations of Ipswitch are included in our operating results during the fiscal year ending November 30, 2021. We determined that disclosing the amount of Ipswitch related earnings included in the consolidated statements of operations during fiscal year ending November 30, 2021 is impracticable, as certain operations of Ipswitch have been integrated into the operations of the Company.
