On October 31, 2023, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement by and among, Hudson RPO Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Buyer”), and Hudson Global Resources (Australia) Pty Limited (“Seller”), and completed the acquisition by Hudson RPO Limited of all of the shares of Hudson Global Resources (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (“Singapore Acquisition”).

Hudson Singapore is a provider of recruitment services primarily to clients operating in Singapore, with a 30-year track record of senior placements and project recruitment work across Southeast Asia including Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia.

In connection with the Singapore Acquisition, Seller received $2,546 in cash, subject to certain adjustments, at the closing of the Singapore Acquisition. Additionally, Seller has a contingent right to receive earn-out payments not to exceed approximately $317, based upon the achievement of certain performance thresholds and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

The Singapore Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price of $2,574, consisted of the amount paid in cash of $2,546 and a preliminary working capital adjustment of $28. Potential contingent earn-out payments of up to approximately $317 were excluded from the purchase price as the associated revenue milestones were not achieved by the seller through December 2023. No fair value was assigned to the earn-out as the performance thresholds were not achieved. The purchase price, which included $491 of cash and cash equivalents acquired, was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their fair values on the acquisition date of October 31, 2023, with the excess recorded as goodwill. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The Company’s goodwill represents the expected profit growth over time that is attributable to expanding our footprint and market share in Singapore and Southeast Asia.

The values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on the fair value available and may be adjusted during the measurement period of up to 12 months from the date of acquisition as further information becomes available. Any changes in the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the measurement period may result in adjustments to goodwill. The Company incurred transaction costs related to the Singapore Acquisition of $13 that were expensed as part of “Office and general”.

On August 19, 2022, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement by and among Hudson RPO Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“HnB Buyer”), Hunt & Badge Consulting Private Limited (“Seller”), and certain principals of HnB, and completed the acquisition by HnB Buyer of all of the membership interests of the Seller (the “HnB Acquisition”).

In connection with the HnB Acquisition, Seller received $1,064 in cash, subject to certain adjustments, at the closing of the HnB Acquisition. Additionally, Seller has a contingent right to receive earn-out payments not to exceed $350 in aggregate payable over an eighteen-month period, subject to the achievement of certain performance thresholds and, the satisfaction of certain conditions.

The HnB Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price of $1,260, which consists of the amount paid in cash of $1,064, a working capital adjustment of $46, net of an owner receivable of $28, and contingent earn-out payments of up to $350 (which such earn-out payments are contingent upon the achievement of certain revenue milestones through December 2023), was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets

and liabilities based on their fair values on the acquisition date of August 19, 2022, with the excess recorded as goodwill. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The Company’s goodwill represents the expected profit growth over time that is attributable to expanding our footprint and market share in India. The purchase price included $314 of cash and cash equivalents acquired. As of December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value for the contingent earn-out payments that the Company classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy was $150, which is the agreed upon minimum payment. These fair value estimates are based on significant inputs not observed in the market and reflect our own assumptions (forecasted revenue) through December 31, 2023. No changes were made to the fair value after the business combination was completed.

In determining the fair value of the contingent consideration liability, the Company used an estimate based on a number of possible projections over the earn-out period. Given the short duration of the earn-out period, the fair value of contingent liability was measured on an undiscounted basis. The Company reassessed the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration at each reporting period based on additional information as it became available. This contingent consideration was remeasured quarterly. If, as a result of remeasurement, the value of the contingent consideration changed, any charges or income would be marked to market and included in “Other income (expense), net” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2023, no gains or losses were recognized in earnings for changes in the remeasurement of the contingent consideration.

The values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on the fair value available and may be adjusted during the measurement period of up to 12 months from the date of acquisition as further information becomes available. Excluding the contingent consideration, any changes in the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the measurement period may result in adjustments to goodwill. The Company incurred transaction costs related to the HnB Acquisition of $63 that were expensed as part of “Office and general”. The Company’s accounting for the business combination was completed as of December 31, 2022.
