Business Acquisitions	Note 17 – Business Acquisitions Fusus, LLC. On January 31, 2024, we acquired the remaining 79.7% interest in Fusus, LLC (“Fusus”), a global leader in real-time crime center technology, for total consideration transferred of approximately $241.3 million, subject to adjustment (the “step acquisition”). The acquisition expands our ability to aggregate live video, data and sensor feeds, which enhances situational awareness and investigative capabilities for our customers in public safety, education and enterprise. Total transaction costs related to the acquisition were $0.9 million and $4.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. These transaction costs were expensed as incurred in sales, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Our existing 20.3% interest had a fair value at the acquisition date of $63.3 million, which resulted in a non-taxable gain of $42.3 million. The gain is recorded in other income (loss), net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the period ended June 30, 2024.

Dedrone is a market leader in air space security combining hardware sensors with software to detect, identify, track, and mitigate drones. The proposed acquisition represents alignment to our mission and positions us to accelerate the next generation of drone and air space solutions.
