Acquisitions

In April 2016, we completed the acquisition of FNC for up to $475.0 million, with $400.0 million in cash paid at closing, subject to certain closing adjustments, and up to $75.0 million to be paid in cash in 2018, contingent upon the achievement of certain revenue targets in fiscal 2017. We fair-valued the contingent payment using the Monte Carlo simulation model and preliminarily recorded $8.0 million as contingent consideration. FNC is a leading provider of real estate collateral information technology and solutions that automates property appraisal ordering, tracking, documentation and review for lender compliance with government regulations and is included as a component of our PI reporting segment. The acquisition continues to expand our property valuation capabilities. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using a variety of valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis, which included significant unobservable inputs. The purchase price allocation is subject to change based on our final determination of fair value in connection with intangible assets and working capital matters. We preliminarily recorded a deferred tax liability of $83.5 million, property and equipment of $79.8 million with an estimated average life of 12 years, customer lists of $141.8 million with an estimated average life of 16 years, trade names of $15.9 million with an estimated average life of 19 years, non-compete agreements of $18.8 million with an estimated average life of 5 years, other intangibles of $2.9 million with an estimated average life of 10 years and goodwill of $211.5 million. This business combination did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In January 2016, we completed the acquisition of the remaining 40% mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest in PIQ for NZD $27.8 million, or $19.0 million, and settled the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest. PIQ is included as a component of our PI reporting segment.

In December 2015, we completed the acquisition of the remaining interest in RELS for approximately $65.0 million and recorded an investment gain of approximately $34.3 million due to the step-up in fair value on the previously held 50.1% interest, which is included in gain on investment and other, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. RELS is included as a component of our PI reporting segment. The acquisition of RELS expands our real estate asset valuation and appraisal solutions in connection with loan originations. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using a variety of valuation techniques including a discounted cash flow analysis, which included significant unobservable inputs.
