7. BUSINESS COMBINATION

Allocation Network

On December 31, 2020, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Allocation Network GmbH (Allocation Network), a best-in class provider of strategic sourcing and supplier management solutions founded in 1998 and is headquartered in Munich, Germany. The total consideration of approximately $19.0 million is comprised of $14.2 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and $4.8 million in estimated fair value of contingent earnout consideration. The earnout consideration is between zero and $10.2 million based on Allocation Network’s cloud bookings growth over the next three years. The Company completed the acquisition for the purpose of expanding its product offerings and driving revenue growth.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):

Tangible assets, including cash acquired of $0.9 million	$	3,420
Goodwill		12,785

Total assets acquired		23,956
Liabilities assumed		(1,576	)
Deferred tax liability		(2,549	)
Net assets acquired	$	19,831

The Company believes the amount of goodwill resulting from the purchase price allocation is attributable to the expected synergistic benefits of being able to leverage Allocation Network’s software with the Company’s existing software to provide an integrated suite to the customer bases of both the Company and Allocation Network. The acquired goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company has evaluated and continues to evaluate pre-acquisition contingencies relating to Allocation Network that existed as of the acquisition date. The Company has preliminarily determined that certain of these pre-acquisition contingencies are probable in nature and estimable as of the acquisition date and, accordingly, has recorded its best estimates for these contingencies as a part of the purchase price allocation. The Company continues to gather information and evaluate pre-acquisition contingencies that it has assumed. If the Company makes changes to the amounts recorded or identifies additional pre-acquisition contingencies during the remainder of the measurement period, such amounts recorded will be recorded as adjustments to the purchase price allocation.
