ACQUISITIONS

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations are recorded on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the respective acquisition date based upon the estimated fair values at such date. The results of operations of the business acquired by the Company are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings since the respective date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to Goodwill. Certain of our acquisitions may contain contingent consideration liabilities based upon the achievement of certain individual defined financial targets of the acquired business. These contingent consideration liabilities are measured at fair value based upon management’s expectations of future achievement by the acquired business of these individual financial targets.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, there were no material acquisitions.
ASSET ACQUISITIONS

Purchase of Intellectual Property

In September 2016, the Company’s Investor Communication Solutions segment acquired intellectual property assets from Inveshare and concurrently entered into a development agreement with an affiliate of Inveshare to use these assets to develop blockchain technology applications for Broadridge’s proxy business. The purchase price was $95.0 million, which consisted of a $90.0 million cash payment upon closing of the acquisition and a $5.0 million obligation which the Company paid during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

The Company also expects to pay a deferred payment of $40.0 million to an affiliate of Inveshare upon delivery of the new blockchain technology applications by September 2018.
