3. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company completed the CalSouthern and Coding Dojo acquisitions on July 1, 2022 and December 1, 2022, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company completed the DigitalCrafts and Hippo Education acquisitions on August 2, 2021 and September 10, 2021, respectively.

Founded in 2013, Coding Dojo offers computer programming and general technology upskilling and reskilling development opportunities to technology-driven students with a quality technology platform and market demand course offering content which include software development, data science and cybersecurity. Coding Dojo is reported within the CTU segment. The preliminary purchase price of $64.9 million includes an initial $52.8 million cash payment funded with cash from operations as well as an estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration of $12.7 million and estimated post-closing working capital adjustments. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, a portion of the post-closing contingent consideration payment will be made in early 2024, with the remainder to be paid in early 2025 up to total maximum payments of $15.0 million, with the final payment amounts to be based upon achievement of certain financial metrics. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, $7.5 million of the initial cash payment was set aside in escrow accounts to secure indemnification obligations of the seller after closing and fund any post-closing working capital adjustments and is reflected as restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets.

The preliminary purchase price of $64.9 million was allocated to estimated fair values of acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets of $78.5 million and assumed liabilities of $13.6 million as of December 1, 2022. Intangible assets acquired include customer relationships with an estimated fair value of approximately $1.3 million and an estimated useful life of 1 year, a trade name with an estimated fair value of approximately $5.1 million and an estimated useful life of 10 years and developed technology with an estimated fair value of $6.0 million and an estimated useful life of 5 years. Based on our preliminary purchase price allocation, we have recorded goodwill of $59.4 million. Goodwill reflects the revenue growth opportunities following the acquisition. Substantially all of this goodwill balance will not be deductible for income tax reporting purposes. Subsequent adjustments may be made to the purchase price allocation once the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities, as well as the fair value of contingent consideration, are finalized.

Founded in 1978, CalSouthern has been educating learners through online educational opportunities, primarily in the areas of behavioral sciences and business management. CalSouthern is reported within the AIUS segment. The final purchase price of $40.0 million was funded with cash from operations. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, $1.0 million of this payment was set

aside in an escrow account to secure indemnification obligations of the seller after closing and is reflected as restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets.

The final purchase price of $40.0 million was allocated to the fair values of acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets of $42.5 million and assumed liabilities of $2.4 million as of July 1, 2022. Intangible assets acquired include customer relationships with a fair value of approximately $14.5 million and an estimated useful life of 15 years, a trade name with a fair value of approximately $1.5 million and an estimated useful life of 10 years and course curriculum with a fair value of $1.4 million and an estimated useful life of 5 years. Based on our final purchase price allocation, we have recorded goodwill of $21.6 million. Goodwill reflects the revenue growth opportunities following the acquisition. We expect substantially all of this goodwill balance to be deductible for income tax reporting purposes.

Hippo, founded in 2011, is a provider of continuing medical education and exam preparation for medical professionals with a quality technology platform and strong course content. Hippo is reported within the CTU segment. During 2021, the Company made a cash payment of $42.0 million for the acquisition of Hippo Education. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, $1.2 million of this payment was set aside in an escrow account to secure indemnification obligations of the seller, of which $0.2 million was released during the current year, leaving $1.0 million in escrow which is reflected as restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022. The payment was fully funded with the Company’s available cash balances.

The purchase price of $43.3 million was allocated to the fair values of acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets of $47.5 million and assumed liabilities of $4.3 million as of September 10, 2021. Intangible assets acquired include a trade name with a fair value of approximately $3.3 million with an estimated useful life of 10 years, customer relationships with a fair value of approximately $14.1 million with an estimated useful life of 7 years and developed technology with a fair value of $2.0 million with an estimated useful life of 4 years. Based on the final purchase price allocation, we recorded goodwill of $27.8 million. We expect substantially all of this goodwill balance to be deductible for income tax reporting purposes.

DigitalCrafts, launched in 2015, helps provide individuals an opportunity in the technology area through reskilling and upskilling courses within the areas of web development, web design and cybersecurity. DigitalCrafts' is reported within the AIUS segment. During 2021, the Company made total cash payments of $16.5 million for the acquisition of DigitalCrafts.
