Business Combinations
 
On
April 17, 2017,
the Company completed the acquisition of
100%
of the outstanding capital stock of Eliza Holding Corp. (“Eliza”), for a preliminary purchase price of
$171.6
million funded with available liquidity of approximately
75%
cash on hand and
25%
from the Company’s existing credit line. Eliza is a cloud based technology platform which provides comprehensive and personalized health engagement solutions designed to improve clinical outcomes and reduce costs. Eliza reaches and engages members through a proprietary, scalable technology solution that leverages a multi-channel communications platform incorporating consumer and proprietary data sources, analytics, and behavior-driven program design to help clients achieve desired outcomes.
 
The purchase price was subject to certain post-closing purchase price adjustments and the initial purchase price allocation as of the date of acquisition was based on a preliminary valuation. Estimates and assumptions for which the Company is still obtaining or evaluating information are subject to change up to
one
year from the acquisition date as that additional information becomes available and adjustments
may
require a change in the amounts allocated to goodwill during the periods in which the adjustments are determined. The intangible assets are valued using various methods which requires several judgments, including growth rates, discount rates, customer attrition rates, and expected levels of revenues, earnings, cash flows and tax rates. The intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis and are
not
expected to be deductible for taxable purposes. As such, the Company recorded a net deferred tax liability which is comprised of deferred tax liabilities recognized in connection with the acquired intangible assets partially offset by deferred tax assets associated with acquired net operating loss carryforwards and credits. The goodwill recognized from the acquisition was a result of synergies to be realized from future revenue growth, is
not
deductible for tax purposes, has an indefinite useful life and will be included in the Company’s annual impairment testing or between annual tests if an indicator of impairment exists.
 
During the
third
quarter of fiscal
2017,
the Company made adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation which resulted in an increase of
$8.9
million to the fair value of acquired intangible assets, an increase of
$3.4
million to the deferred tax liability associated with the acquired intangible assets and a decrease of
$5.5
million to goodwill. The Company also changed the estimated useful life of the acquired customer relationships intangible asset from
36
years to
15
years. The purchase price allocation is still preliminary and subject to change throughout the remainder of the measurement period based on the finalization of the detailed valuations. The updated preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of
