Acquisition of Decision Resources Group

On February 28, 2020, we acquired 100% of the assets, liabilities and equity interests of Decision Resources Group ("DRG"), a premier provider of high-value data, analytics and insights products and services to the healthcare industry, from Piramal Enterprises Limited ("PEL"), which is a part of global business conglomerate Piramal Group. The acquisition helps us expand our core businesses and provides us with the potential to grow in the Life Sciences Product Line.

The aggregate consideration paid in connection with the closing of the DRG acquisition was $964,997, comprised of $900,000 of base cash plus $6,100 of adjusted closing cash paid on the closing date and 2,895,638 of the Company's ordinary shares issued to PEL on March 5, 2021. The contingent stock consideration was valued at $58,897 on the closing date and was revalued at each period end until the issuance date. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the fair value of the contingent stock consideration decreased by $24,410, which was recorded to selling, general and administrative costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The corresponding liability was $86,029 as of December 31, 2020 and recorded to Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As the liability settled on March 5, 2021 with the Company issuing 2,895,638 ordinary shares valued at $61,619, there was no liability captured within the March 31, 2021 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 22 - Commitments and Contingencies for more information. The DRG acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets is recorded to Goodwill and primarily reflects the assembled workforce and expected synergies. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, total transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of DRG was a net gain of $24,383 due to the decrease to the fair value of the contingent stock consideration between December 31, 2020 and March 5, 2021. Total transaction costs during the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $19,762.

The amount of Revenues, net and Net loss resulting from the acquisition that are attributable to the Company's stockholders and included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss were as follows:
