HireUp

On December 13, 2022, the Company purchased and acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of HireUp Leadership Inc. (HireUp) for a purchase price of $6.0 million in cash, subject to adjustment, and $0.8 million in shares (or 29,811 shares) of the Company's common stock. The transaction was treated as a purchase of assets for income tax purposes.

The sellers were eligible to receive up to an additional $8.0 million total in earnout cash consideration based on HireUp's revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for each of the twelve-month periods ending on the first and second anniversaries of the first day after the closing date. Quarterly throughout 2023, the Company performed analyses using multiple updated forecast scenarios and determined that the earnout would only be partially achieved. As a result, the Company recognized a decrease in the fair value of the related liabilities in the second and third quarters of 2023. The liability of $1.9 million is included in the current portion of earnout liability on the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company assigned the following values to other identifiable intangible assets: (i) $0.9 million to trade names with a weighted average estimated useful life of 2 years; (ii) $2.5 million to a customer list with a weighted average estimated useful life of 10 years; and (iii) $3.5 million to a database with a weighted average estimated useful life of 7 years, for a total of $6.9 million in definite life intangible assets with a weighted average estimated useful life of 7 years.

The remaining excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $1.6 million was recorded as goodwill on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. See Note 5 - Goodwill, Trade Names, and Other Intangible Assets.

Mint

On October 3, 2022, the Company purchased and acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Mint Medical Physician Staffing, LP and Lotus Medical Staffing LLC (collectively, Mint) for a purchase price of $27.0 million in cash, subject to adjustment, and $3.6 million in shares (or 114,278 shares) of the Company's common stock. The transaction was treated as a purchase of assets for income tax purposes.

The sellers are eligible to receive up to an additional $10.0 million in earnout cash consideration based on Mint's revenues and gross profit for each of the twelve-month periods ending on the first and second anniversaries of the first day of the calendar month following the closing date. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company performed the earnout calculation for the first measurement period, resulting in an earnout of $4.9 million, which is included in the current portion of earnout liability, and the long-term portion of the liability of $5.0 million is included in the non-current portion of earnout liability on the consolidated balance sheets. The earnout for the first measurement period was paid in the first quarter of 2024. See Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company assigned the following values to other identifiable intangible assets: (i) $0.4 million to trade names with a weighted average estimated useful life of 1 year; (ii) $2.3 million to a customer list with a weighted average estimated useful life of 11 years; and (iii) $12.4 million to a database with a weighted average estimated useful life of 7 years, for a total of $15.1 million in definite life intangible assets with a weighted average estimated useful life of 7 years.
The remaining excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $20.1 million was recorded as goodwill on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. See Note 5 - Goodwill, Trade Names, and Other Intangible Assets.

Local Business

On December 15, 2022, the Company purchased and acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of an Ohio based business for a purchase price of $2.0 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The transaction was treated as a purchase of assets for income tax purposes.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, an immaterial amount was recorded as goodwill on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. See Note 5 - Goodwill, Trade Names, and Other Intangible Assets.

The above acquisitions made in 2022, HireUp, Mint, and a local business, both individually and in the aggregate, were not significant and have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The pro-forma impact on the Company's consolidated revenue from services and net income, including the pro forma effect of events that are directly attributable to the acquisitions, was not significant.
Selected

On December 16, 2021, the Company purchased and acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Selected, Inc. (Selected) for a purchase price of $3.5 million in cash, subject to adjustment, and $1.5 million in shares (or 59,429 shares) of the Company's common stock. The transaction was treated as a purchase of assets for income tax purposes.

The sellers were eligible to receive up to an additional $1.5 million in earnout cash consideration, based on Selected's revenues for each of the twelve-month periods ending on the first and second anniversaries of the first day after the closing date. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company determined that the contingent consideration earnout related to the Selected acquisition would not be achieved for 2022 and 2023 and, as a result, the entire liability was reversed.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company assigned the following values to other identifiable intangible assets: (i) an immaterial amount to trade names with a weighted average estimated useful life of 2 years; (ii) $1.7 million to software with a weighted average estimated useful life of 5 years; and (iii) $2.9 million to a database, consisting of education professionals, with a weighted average estimated useful life of 5 years, for a total of $4.6 million in definite life intangible assets with a weighted average estimated useful life of 5 years.

The remaining excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $0.4 million was recorded as goodwill on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. See Note 5 - Goodwill, Trade Names, and Other Intangible Assets.

The acquisition was not significant and has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The pro-forma impact on the Company's consolidated revenue from services and net income, including the pro forma effect of events that are directly attributable to the acquisition, was not significant.
