Acquisitions
Acquisitions are accounted for under ASC 805, Business Combinations.
On June 20, 2014, we acquired an 81.7% ownership interest in CPH Capital Fondsmaeglerselskab A/S (“CPH”), a Danish asset management firm that managed approximately $3 billion in global core equity assets for institutional investors, for a cash payment of $64.4 million and a contingent consideration payable of $9.4 million. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired resulted in the recognition of $58.1 million of goodwill. We recorded $24.1 million of definite-lived intangible assets relating to separately-managed account relationships and $3.5 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets relating to an acquired fund’s investment contract. We also recorded redeemable non-controlling interests of $16.5 million relating to the fair value of the portion of CPH we do not own. During 2015, we purchased additional shares of CPH, bringing our ownership interest to 85.4% as of December 31, 2015.
On December 12, 2013, we acquired W.P. Stewart & Co., Ltd. (“WPS”), an equity investment manager that managed approximately $2.1 billion in U.S., Global and EAFE concentrated growth equity strategies for its clients, primarily in the U.S. and Europe. On the acquisition date, we made a cash payment of $12 per share for the approximate 4.9 million WPS shares outstanding and issued to WPS shareholders transferable contingent value rights (“CVRs”), entitling the holders to an additional $4 per share if the assets under management in the acquired WPS investment services exceed $5 billion on or before the third anniversary of the acquisition date.  The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired resulted in the recognition of $32.4 million of goodwill. We also recorded $7.5 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets relating to the acquired fund’s investment contracts and $14.0 million of definite-lived intangible assets relating to separately-managed account relationships. As of the acquisition date, we recorded a contingent consideration payable of $17.1 million in regard to the CVRs.
The 2014 and 2013 acquisitions have not had a significant impact on 2015 or 2014 revenues and earnings. As a result, we have not provided supplemental pro forma information.
