Note 3. Acquisitions

2021 Acquisitions

On March 31, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of selected assets and specified liabilities comprising the United Kingdom background screening business unit of a United Kingdom based company for cash consideration of $7.6 million. The Company recognized $3.1 million of goodwill and $3.0 million of intangible assets subject to amortization. Goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to assembled workforce and the expected growth of the Company and is not deductible for tax purposes. Results of operations have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company’s International segment since the closing date.

On November 30, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of a background screening and verification provider based in Mexico. Goodwill recognized as result of this acquisition was not deductible for tax purposes. Results of operations have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company’s Americas segment since the closing date.

On November 30, 2021, the Company, through one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United States, entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding equity of Corporate Screening Services, LLC (“Corporate Screening”), a U.S.-based screening and compliance solutions provider which strengthened the Company’s healthcare and higher education solutions by adding technology and expertise tailored to those customers, for cash consideration of $39.4 million. The acquisition was considered an acquisition of assets for tax purposes and, accordingly, a significant portion of the $22.2 million of goodwill recognized was deductible for tax purposes. Identifiable intangible assets related to this acquisition totaled $15.5 million, of which $11.8 million was attributable to a customer related intangible asset, with an estimated useful life of fourteen years and $3.6 million was attributable to developed technology with a useful life of five years. In addition, the Company acquired current assets of $2.9 million and assumed liabilities of $1.6 million. The allocation was finalized as of June 30, 2022. Results of operations have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company’s Americas segment since the closing date.

2022 Acquisition

The Company completed its asset purchase of Form I-9 Compliance, a U.S.-based technology solution and consulting service provider for I-9 and E-Verify compliance, for cash consideration of approximately $19.8 million. The transfer of ownership became effective as of January 1, 2022 and strategically expands the Company’s product suite offerings through the addition of new I-9 and employment eligibility solutions. The acquired assets were determined to constitute a business and the Company was deemed to be the acquirer under ASC 805. The Company recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of January 1, 2022.

As of the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, the purchase accounting related to the acquisition of Form I-9 Compliance was incomplete as the valuations of deferred taxes and purchase price were still in the process of being finalized, and certain customary transaction adjustments were not yet finalized. The Company has reflected the provisional amounts for goodwill and deferred taxes in these condensed consolidated financial statements. As such, the above balances may be adjusted in a future period as the valuation is finalized and these adjustments may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

The allocation of the purchase price is based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the consideration paid and the amounts recognized for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):
