Gradifi Acquisition
On December 9, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Gradifi, a student loan and financial wellness provider, for a purchase price of $30 million. The acquisition is expected to complement the Company's corporate services offering to include financial wellness and student loan solutions as part of a comprehensive benefits platform integrated into the Company's stock plan administration offering.
The results of Gradifi's operations have been included in the Company's consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2019 from the date of acquisition. Supplementary pro forma financial information related to the acquisition is not included because the impact to the Company's consolidated statements of income is not material.
