Acquisitions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Laureate consummated the business acquisition outlined below, which is included in our Consolidated Financial Statements commencing from the date of acquisition.

Australia

In June 2017, our EMEAA segment acquired the assets and business of the nursing division of Careers Australia (CA Nursing), a vocational institution in Australia, for a cash purchase price of AUD 1,107 (US $835 at the date of acquisition) plus debt assumed of AUD 9,850 (US $7,433 at the acquisition date). We accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. For this acquisition, Revenues, Operating income and Net (loss) income attributable to Laureate Education, Inc. were immaterial for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of all assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

	CA Nursing Australia

Goodwill	3,099
Other intangible assets	3,293
Total assets acquired	15,973
Current portion of long-term debt	166
Other current liabilities	5,960
Long-term debt, less current portion	7,267

Net assets acquired attributable to Laureate Education, Inc.	835
Debt assumed	7,433
Net assets acquired attributable to Laureate Education, Inc. plus debt assumed	$	8,268

Net cash paid at acquisition	$	835

The amounts recorded in the 2017 acquisition are provisional and Laureate is in the process of finalizing the amounts recorded for the assets and liabilities primarily related to goodwill, intangible assets and deferred revenue. None of the goodwill related to the 2017 acquisition is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The amounts due to shareholders of acquired companies generally arise in connection with Laureate’s acquisition of a majority or all of the ownership interest of these companies. Promissory notes payable to the sellers of acquired companies, referred to as “seller notes,” are commonly used as a means of payment for business acquisitions. Seller note payments are classified as Payments of deferred purchase price for acquisitions within financing activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
