Acquisitions
Knight Point Systems, LLC
On July 31, 2019, Perspecta acquired all of the equity interests of Knight Point Systems, LLC (“Knight Point”) for $250 million plus customary purchase price adjustments, initially estimated at a total of $265 million and currently estimated at $264 million. Knight Point delivers end-to-end managed services and solutions focused on modernizing IT systems, protecting critical networks and driving digital transformation to improve customer transparency and operational efficiency. Knight Point leverages a portfolio of intellectual property to solve complex customer challenges in cloud, cybersecurity and agile development and operations (“DevOps”) environments.

The Company recognized preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and allocated $116 million to goodwill and $125 million to intangible assets. The goodwill is largely attributable to the assembled workforce of Knight Point and expected synergies between the Company and Knight Point. The Company’s preliminary allocation of goodwill to Perspecta’s reportable segments was as follows: $22 million allocated to Defense and Intelligence and $94 million allocated to Civilian and Health Care. The intangible assets consist primarily of program assets of $102 million, developed technology of $18 million and backlog of $5 million. The estimated fair value attributed to intangible assets is being amortized on an accelerated basis over a range of 10 to 12 years for program assets, seven years for developed technology and one year for backlog. The fair value attributed to the intangible assets acquired was based on preliminary estimates, assumptions, and other information compiled by management, including independent valuations that utilized established valuation techniques. All of the value attributed to goodwill and intangible assets is deductible for income tax purposes. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and based on a valuation using estimates and assumptions that are subject to change, which could result in material changes to the purchase price allocation. The final purchase price allocation is expected to be completed by the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, pending analysis of certain tax adjustments.

The results of operations of Knight Point have been included in the statements of operations beginning August 1, 2019. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented as it is not material to the consolidated results of operations. The acquisition was considered an asset purchase for tax purposes.

Acquisition Subsequent to Period End

On May 1, 2020, Perspecta acquired certain assets of DHPC Technologies, a U.S. developer of electronic warfare technologies. The purchase consideration was approximately $53 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the results of operations are not material to the operations of Perspecta. The final purchase price allocation is expected to be completed during fiscal year 2021.

Fiscal 2019 Spin-Off and Mergers
On May 31, 2018, immediately following the consummation of the Spin-Off, the Company completed the Mergers. As defined in the Merger Agreement, Perspecta issued shares of Perspecta common stock to Veritas Capital and its affiliates, including 18,877,244 shares to The SI Organization Holdings LLC (the “Vencore HC Stockholder”) and 4,396,097 shares to KGS Holding LLC (the “KeyPoint Stockholder,” and, together with the Vencore HC Stockholder, the “Vencore Stockholders”), representing in the aggregate approximately 14% of the outstanding shares of Perspecta common stock immediately following the Mergers. As a result of these transactions, Vencore HC and KGS HC became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Perspecta.

The Spin-Off and Mergers were structured as a “Reverse Morris Trust” transaction, in which Perspecta was deemed the accounting acquirer of Vencore HC and KGS HC and their respective subsidiaries. Purchase consideration transferred in a business combination is typically measured by reference to the fair value of equity issued or other assets transferred by the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the fair value of the purchase consideration transferred was measured based on the fair value of approximately 14% of shares of the combined business, $400 million cash transferred by Perspecta to the Vencore Stockholders, and approximately $994 million paid to extinguish certain existing Vencore indebtedness.

Represents the fair value of consideration received by the Vencore HC Stockholder and the KeyPoint Stockholder for approximately 14% ownership in the combined company. The fair value of the purchase consideration transferred was based on 18,877,244 shares of Perspecta common stock distributed to Vencore HC Stockholder and 4,396,097 shares of Perspecta common stock distributed to the KeyPoint Stockholder as of the close of business on the record date for the Mergers, at the closing price of $24.86 per share on May 31, 2018.
The information presented below represents the allocation of Vencore’s purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including acquiree-related transaction costs of $38 million, as of the acquisition date, May 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2019, the Company finalized the accounting for the Mergers. The major classes of assets and liabilities to which the purchase price was allocated were as follows:

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the closing date of the Mergers, and is attributable to the intellectual capital, the acquired assembled work force and expected cost synergies, none of which qualify for recognition as a separate intangible asset. The goodwill discussed above includes approximately $195 million of goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill arising from the Mergers has been allocated to Perspecta’s reporting units based on the relative fair value of assets acquired, with $1.07 billion allocated to the Defense and Intelligence segment and $77 million allocated to the Civilian and Health Care segment.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents results as if the Spin-Off and the Mergers and the related financing had occurred on April 1, 2017. The historical consolidated financial information of Perspecta has been adjusted in the pro forma information to give effect to the events that are (1) directly attributable to the transactions, (2) factually supportable and (3) expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The effects of the Spin-Off are primarily attributable to interest expense associated with the incurrence of debt in connection with the Spin-Off. The effects of the Mergers primarily relate to amortization of acquired intangible assets. The consolidated financial information of Perspecta includes merger and integration-related costs that are not expected to recur and impact the combined results over the long-term. The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect future events that have occurred or may occur after the transactions, including but not limited to, the impact of any actual or anticipated synergies expected to result from the Mergers. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations as they would have been had the transactions been effected on April 1, 2017, nor is it necessarily an indication of future operating results.

(3) Historical earnings per common share information for the year ended March 31, 2018 is computed using the 142.43 million shares of Perspecta common stock resulting from the Distribution. See Note 4 – “(Loss) Earnings Per Share.” Pro forma combined earnings per common share includes the shares issued by Perspecta in connection with the Mergers on May 31, 2018. As a result, both basic and diluted; pro forma combined earnings per common share information is computed based on 165.70 million shares of Perspecta common stock as Perspecta did not operate as a stand-alone entity during the period, and therefore, no Perspecta common stock, stock options or other equity awards were outstanding and no dividends were declared or paid by Perspecta.

Fiscal 2018 HPES Merger

On April 1, 2017, Computer Sciences Corporation (“CSC”), HPE, Everett SpinCo, Inc. (“Everett”), and New Everett Merger Sub Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Everett (“Merger Sub”), completed the strategic combination of CSC with the HPE Enterprise Services business (“HPES”) to form DXC (the “HPES Merger”). At the time of the HPES Merger, Everett was renamed DXC, and as a result of the HPES Merger, CSC became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of DXC. The transaction was determined to be a reverse merger and CSC was determined to be the accounting acquirer of DXC. Therefore, for accounting purposes DXC, and in turn USPS, was subject to purchase price allocation adjustments as of April 1, 2017.

The information presented represents allocation of USPS’s purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, April 1, 2017. The total fair value of consideration transferred for USPS was approximately $2.85 billion. The purchase price was determined based on the enterprise value of USPS estimated as part of the purchase price allocation related to the HPES Merger compared to the total value of all shares issued by DXC.

The allocation of purchase price was completed as of March 31, 2018. The major classes of assets and liabilities to which the purchase price was allocated were as follows:
