Acquisitions Acquisitions
ADEA Medical AB
During the second quarter of 2019, we acquired all of the remaining outstanding equity of ADEA Medical AB, now known as BioTel Europe AB (“ADEA” or “BioTel Europe”), a limited company incorporated and registered under the laws of Sweden. BioTel Europe provides cardiac monitoring in northern Europe.
Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, we agreed to issue the owners of ADEA 50,000 shares of our common stock, with a fair value of approximately $2.1 million, as well as to pay $0.2 million in cash. The shares are restricted, with the restrictions related to 10,000 shares that expired in the fourth quarter of 2019, and the restrictions on the remaining 40,000 shares are set to expire in the second quarter of 2022, and the shares are also available to satisfy indemnification obligations.
Prior to the second quarter of 2019, we accounted for our 23.8% stake in ADEA as an equity method investment. We accounted for the acquisition of the remaining equity of ADEA as a step acquisition, which required us to re-measure our previous ownership interest to fair value prior to application of purchase accounting, and we recognized the immaterial difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the equity method investment at that time. The total purchase price of ADEA was $3.3 million, primarily consisting of the equity and cash consideration paid in the second quarter of 2019, plus the amounts paid for our initial investment in ADEA in 2018. We then allocated this purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The acquired net assets consisted primarily of customer relationships and non-compete agreements. The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired has been recognized as goodwill, which represents the expected future benefits arising from the assembled workforce and other synergies attributable to cost savings opportunities. We have recognized $2.6 million of goodwill as a result of the acquisition, all of which has been assigned to the Healthcare segment. None of this goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.
We finalized our fair value estimates related to the ADEA acquisition during the three months ended September 30, 2019. There were no changes to the total purchase price, and the measurement period adjustment related to deferred income taxes recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2019 was not material.
We do not consider this acquisition to be significant to our results of operations. The transaction costs related to this acquisition and revenues and results of operations of ADEA prior to our acquisition were all immaterial.
Geneva Healthcare, Inc.
On March 1, 2019, we acquired Geneva Healthcare, Inc., now known as Geneva Healthcare LLC (“Geneva”), for cash consideration of $45.9 million. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 25, 2019, by and among Geneva, BioTelemetry, Inc., Tyersall Merger Sub, Inc., and the Securityholders’ Representative (the “Geneva Agreement”), on the third anniversary of the closing date, the Securityholders (as defined in the Geneva Agreement) are eligible to receive additional consideration in the form of cash payments, as well as shares of BioTelemetry common stock, with a total estimated present value of $32.0 million as of the March 1, 2019 acquisition date, for a total aggregate purchase price of $77.9 million. Concurrent with the closing of the acquisition, the Securityholders have made elections as to the percentage mix of their total additional consideration to be settled in cash or common stock.
The estimated additional consideration of $32.0 million, as of the March 1, 2019 acquisition date, consisted of the following:
The Securityholders will, subject to potential deductions pursuant to the Geneva Agreement, receive additional consideration of $20.0 million, a total of $11.1 million of which will be paid in cash, and the remaining value will be settled in shares. We will issue a total of 131,594 shares
of our common stock to settle the share-related portion of the obligation, based on the elections made by the Securityholders and the formulas within the Geneva Agreement.
The estimated present value of the future cash payment of $11.1 million, which totaled $9.7 million as of the acquisition date, as well as the estimated fair value of our common stock of $9.1 million, has been included within the purchase price for Geneva. The estimated present value of the future cash payment is recorded as a component of other long-term liabilities and will be accreted to its redemption value through interest expense through the payment date. The estimated fair value of the 131,594 shares our common stock has been recorded within paid-in-capital.
The Securityholders will also be eligible to receive additional consideration, in the form of both cash and shares, based on a predetermined formula that is driven by the future revenues of Geneva and does not have a predetermined limit. The total estimated acquisition-related contingent consideration as of the March 1, 2019 acquisition date was $13.2 million, which is also included in the purchase price of Geneva. The $13.2 million is recorded within other long-term liabilities and will be marked to market through earnings on a quarterly basis throughout the earn-out period. The equity portion of the acquisition-related contingent consideration requires liability classification and mark-to-market accounting pursuant to the provisions of ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging.
We acquired Geneva as part of our business strategy to go deeper and wider into the cardiac monitoring market. Geneva has developed an innovative proprietary cloud-based platform that aggregates data from the leading cardiac device manufacturers, enabling the company to remotely monitor a physician’s patients with implantable cardiac devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators and loop recorders. Geneva’s platform provides physicians a single portal to order patient monitoring, review monitoring results and request routine device checks, helping drive significant in-office efficiencies and patient compliance. We have continued to merge this functionality with that of the Healthcare segment user interface, which we believe will drive greater workflow and data management efficiencies to the clients we serve.
We accounted for the transaction as a business combination, and as such, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired has been recognized as goodwill, which represents the expected future benefits arising from the assembled workforce and other synergies attributable to cost savings opportunities. We have recognized $59.9 million of goodwill as a result of the acquisition, all of which has been assigned to the Healthcare segment. None of this goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.
The amounts in the table below represent our final fair value estimates related to the Geneva acquisition as of March 1, 2019. Measurement period adjustments recorded during 2019 consisted primarily of decreasing additional consideration by $2.2 million and increasing net deferred tax assets by $2.9 million. We finalized our fair value estimates related to the Geneva acquisition during the three months ended December 31, 2019.

We have incurred $1.4 million of acquisition related costs associated with Geneva for the year ended December 31, 2019. The revenues and income of Geneva for periods prior to our acquisition and for the period from the acquistion date through December 31, 2019 were immaterial to our consolidated operating results.
ActiveCare
On October 2, 2018, we acquired, through our subsidiary Telcare Medical Supply, LLC, certain assets of ActiveCare, Inc. (“ActiveCare”) for $3.8 million in cash. The purchase price also included a potential earn-out payment of $2.0 million, which is contingent on the achievement of certain revenue targets by November 1, 2020. We accounted for the transaction as a business combination, and as such, all assets acquired were recorded at their estimated fair values. The acquired net assets primarily consisted of customer relationships and software developed by ActiveCare. The earn-out was assigned no value as of the acquisition date as it was and is currently not probable of achievement. The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired has been recognized as goodwill, has been assigned to the Corporate and Other category and will be deductible for tax purposes. We finalized our fair value estimates related to the ActiveCare acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2019, and there were no changes to the amounts initially recorded. The transaction costs related to this acquisition and revenues and income of ActiveCare prior to our acquisition were all immaterial.
LifeWatch AG
On July 12, 2017, we acquired, through our wholly owned subsidiary Cardiac Monitoring Holding Company, LLC, approximately 97.0% of the outstanding shares of LifeWatch AG for aggregate consideration of 3,615,840 shares of BioTelemetry common stock with a fair value of $116.8 million and
cash in the amount of $165.8 million. On that date, we acquired control of LifeWatch and began consolidating its financial statements.
Through December 31, 2017, we purchased 343,525 additional shares of LifeWatch for cash consideration of $4.8 million and the issuance of 19,806 shares with a fair value of $0.6 million. We acquired the remaining untendered LifeWatch shares pursuant to a squeeze-out procedure in accordance with Swiss law and takeover regulations related to the offering occurring in early January 2018, with the settlement of $2.9 million in cash, which was recorded as a component of accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, and 58,786 shares of our common stock with a fair market value of $2.0 million, which was recorded as a component of paid-in capital in our consolidated balance sheets, both as of December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, we owned 100% of LifeWatch.
Also on July 12, 2017, in connection with the closing of the acquisition of LifeWatch, and refinancing of our existing debt, we entered into a credit agreement with SunTrust Bank, as a lender and an agent for the lenders (the “Lenders”) (together, the “SunTrust Credit Agreement”). For more information regarding the financing of this acquisition, please refer to “Note 11. Credit Agreement.”
The acquisition of LifeWatch strengthens our position as the leader in remote medical technology, creating the foremost connected health platform, significantly enhancing our ability to improve quality of life and reduce cost of care. We accounted for the transaction as a business combination, and as such, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired has been recognized as goodwill, which represents the expected future benefits arising from the assembled workforce and other synergies attributable to cost savings opportunities. We recognized $198.8 million of goodwill as a result of the acquisition, all of which has been assigned to the Healthcare segment. None of this goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.
We finalized our estimates related to the LifeWatch acquisition by July 12, 2018. The measurement period adjustments recorded in 2018 were primarily due to a $5.7 million adjustment to increase accrued liabilities related to the ZTech legal matter (see “Note 19. Legal Proceedings” for details) and an $8.9 million increase to other long-term liabilities.

We have integrated the operations of LifeWatch into our Healthcare segment. As a result of this integration, it is impracticable to disclose the amount of revenue and income/(loss) attributable to LifeWatch.
We incurred $31.0 million of acquisition related costs related to LifeWatch for the year ended December 31, 2017. These costs were included in other charges in our consolidated statements of operations.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared using historical financial results of BioTelemetry and LifeWatch as if the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2016. Certain adjustments related to the elimination of transaction costs, as well as the addition of depreciation and amortization related to fair value adjustments on the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, have been reflected for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma financial information presented below. We believe the assumptions used in preparing the unaudited pro forma financial information are reasonable, but not necessarily indicative of actual results should the acquisition have occurred on January 1, 2016.
