Federated Payment Systems, LLC/Federated Payment Canada Corp.

In September 2018, a subsidiary of EVO, Inc. acquired the remaining 67% of the outstanding membership interests of Federated Payment Systems, LLC (“Federated US”) and 100% of the outstanding shares of Federated Payment Canada Corporation (“Federated Canada,” together with Federated US, “Federated”) for $38.2 million. The total consideration includes an aggregate holdback liability of $0.5 million. Certain acquisition-related expenses were incurred in conjunction with the Federated acquisition in the amount of $0.4 million. Federated maintains diverse sales channels which will complement the Company’s strategic distribution relationships. As a result of this acquisition, the Company recognized goodwill. Federated is presented in the Company’s North America segment.

Based upon the purchase price, the Company’s understanding of the Federated business and valuation, the allocation is as follows:


	As of the
	acquisition date
	(in thousands)
Tangible assets acquired	$	1,702
Deferred tax liability		(1,357)
Amortizable intangible assets
Trademarks		1,200
Merchant contract portfolios		11,400
Goodwill		33,677
Total net assets acquired	$	46,622

Intangible assets of $12.6 million have been allocated to amortizable intangible assets consisting of trademarks and merchant contract portfolios, with estimated useful lives of 5 years and 10 years, respectively. The change in the estimated values of amortizable intangible assets is primarily due to obtaining information related to the merchant portfolio acquired from Federated and therefore, revising certain estimates in determining fair value.

On the date of acquisition, the book value of the investment in Federated US was zero. The Company recorded a gain on the acquisition of the unconsolidated investee of $8.4 million to step-up carrying value of the investment to fair value as of the acquisition date. The gain on acquisition of unconsolidated investee was recorded on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Goodwill, totaling $33.7 million, represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill generated from the Federated acquisition is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes.

In October 2018, a subsidiary of EVO, Inc. acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of ClearONE for €5.4 million ($6.3 million based on the foreign exchange rate at the time of the acquisition).
