ACQUISITIONS

Fiscal 2018 Acquisitions

Acquisition of Guidance Software, Inc.

On September 14, 2017, we acquired all of the equity interest in Guidance, a leading provider of forensic security solutions, for approximately $240.5 million. In accordance with ASC Topic 805 "Business Combinations" (Topic 805), this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. We believe this acquisition complements and extends our Enterprise Information Management (EIM) portfolio.

The results of operations of this acquisition have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning September 14, 2017.

The following tables summarize the preliminary consideration paid for Guidance and the amount of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the goodwill recorded as of the acquisition date:



Cash consideration*	$	237,291
Guidance shares already owned by OpenText through open market purchases (at fair value)	3,247
Preliminary purchase consideration	$	240,538

*Inclusive of $2.3 million accrued for but unpaid as of December 31, 2017. See "Appraisal Proceedings" below for more information.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their preliminary fair values as of September 14, 2017, are set forth below:



Current assets (inclusive of cash acquired of $5.7 million)	$	24,754
Non-current tangible assets	10,540
Intangible customer assets	71,230
Intangible technology assets	51,851
Liabilities assumed	(48,776		)
Total identifiable net assets	109,599
Goodwill	130,939
Net assets acquired	$	240,538

The goodwill of $130.9 million is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. Of this goodwill, approximately $1.9 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Included in total identifiable net assets is acquired deferred revenue with a fair value of $26.6 million, which represents our estimate of the fair value of the contractual obligations assumed based on a preliminary valuation. In arriving at this fair value, we reduced the acquired company’s original carrying value by $7.6 million.

The fair value of current assets acquired includes accounts receivable with a fair value of $10.3 million. The gross amount receivable was $11.8 million of which $1.5 million of this receivable is expected to be uncollectible.

An amount of $0.8 million, representing the mark to market gain on the shares we held in Guidance prior to the acquisition, was recorded to "Other income" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months ended December 31, 2017.

Acquisition-related costs for Guidance included in "Special charges (recoveries)" in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 were $1.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

The acquisition had no significant impact on revenues and net earnings for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 since the date of acquisition.

Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented because they are not material to the consolidated results of operations.

The finalization of the purchase price allocation is pending the finalization of the valuation of fair value for assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including tax balances. We expect to finalize this determination on or before September 30, 2018.

Appraisal Proceedings

Under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, shareholders who did not tender their shares in connection with our tender offer were entitled to have their shares appraised by the Delaware Court of Chancery and receive payment of the “fair value” of such shares. On August 31, 2017 we received notice from the record holder of approximately 1,519,569 shares or 5% of the issued and outstanding Guidance shares as of the date of acquisition, demanding an appraisal of the fair value of Guidance shares as they believed the price we paid for Guidance shares was less than its fair value. We accrued $10.8 million in connection with these claims, which is equivalent to paying $7.10 per Guidance share, the amount these Guidance shareholders otherwise would have received had they tendered their shares in our offer. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2018, we paid $8.5 million to the trust account of dissenting shareholders’ attorney, leaving $2.3 million accrued and unpaid for this matter. The amount accrued has been included within "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with no impact to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income provided the courts rule within the open measurement period of 12 months from acquisition date.
