Heritage AspenTech

On October 10, 2021, Emerson entered into the Transactions with Heritage AspenTech to contribute the Industrial Software Business comprised of OSI and SSE, along with $6.014 billion in cash, to create New AspenTech. On the Closing Date, Emerson owned 55% of the outstanding common shares of New AspenTech on a fully diluted basis, while the stockholders of Heritage AspenTech owned the remaining 45%.

The acquisition-date fair value of the purchase consideration totaled $11.188 billion, which was determined as follows (in thousands):

Fair value of Heritage AspenTech common stock (66,662,482 common shares)
$11,085,971 
Stock-based compensation awards attributable to pre-combination service 102,305 
Total purchase consideration$11,188,276 

The fair value of the shares of Heritage AspenTech common stock was determined based on the closing market price of Heritage AspenTech common stock on the Closing Date. The Company also replaced Heritage AspenTech equity awards with New AspenTech equity awards. As a result, the portion of the aggregate fair-value of the replacement awards attributable to the pre-combination service period was included in the computation of the fair value of consideration transferred. See Note 14, "Stock-Based Compensation". Of the total cash contribution of $6.014 billion made by Emerson to the Industrial Software Business, $5.846 billion was paid in cash to the holders of Heritage AspenTech common stock at $87.69 per share (on a fully diluted basis), with $168.3 million of cash remaining on New AspenTech’s consolidated and combined balance sheet as of the
Closing Date which is not included in the allocation of purchase consideration above. Additionally, the holders of Heritage AspenTech common stock received 27,998,104 shares of New AspenTech common stock, with an aggregate fair value of $5.240 billion.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the Closing Date, which represent the preliminary fair value estimates as of June 30, 2022, and are subject to subsequent adjustments as the Company obtained additional information during the measurement period and finalized its fair value estimates.

Of the $4.39 billion of acquired intangible assets, $430 million was assigned to registered trademarks that are not subject to amortization and were recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. The remaining $3.96 billion of acquired intangible assets are being amortized straight-line over their estimated useful lives. The definite-lived intangible assets include acquired developed technology of $1.35 billion (10-year useful life), customer relationships of $2.3 billion (15-year useful life), and backlog of $310 million (3-year useful life).

The $7.2 billion of goodwill was assigned to the Heritage AspenTech segment and is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of Heritage AspenTech. $34.0 million of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. As of June 30, 2022, there were no changes in the recognized amounts of goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Heritage AspenTech.

The Company recognized $3.7 million of acquisition and integration planning related fees that was expensed in the current period. These fees are included in operating expenses of the consolidated and combined statement of operations.
