Acquisition
2. Acquisition

On September 5, 2017, Kelly Services USA, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Teachers On Call, Inc. (“TOC”), an educational staffing firm in the U.S. for a purchase price of $41.0 million. Under terms of the purchase agreement, the purchase price was adjusted for cash held by TOC at the closing date less an estimated working capital adjustment resulting in the Company paying cash of $39.0 million at closing. The purchase price allocation for this acquisition is preliminary and could change. As of year-end 2017, there have been no significant purchase price adjustments.

This acquisition will increase our market share in the educational staffing market in the U.S. TOC’s results of operations are included in the Americas Staffing segment.

Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented as it is not material to the consolidated statement of earnings.

Included in the assets purchased was approximately $18.3 million of intangible assets, made up of $12.0 million in customer relationships, $4.8 million associated with TOC’s trademark and $1.5 million for a candidate database. The customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years with no residual value and the database is being amortized on a straight-line basis over four years with no residual value. The trademark has an indefinite life. Goodwill generated from this acquisition is primarily attributable to expected synergies from combining operations and expanding market potential, and is assigned to the Americas Staffing reporting unit (see Goodwill footnote). The amount of goodwill expected to be deductible for tax purposes is approximately $18.3 million. An indemnification asset of $2.8 million was recognized as of the acquisition date related to pre-acquisition tax liabilities. At year-end 2017 the indemnification asset is $0.5 million with the change driven by cash received from the seller in the fourth quarter to pay pre-acquisition tax liabilities.
