2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Pending acquisition of LibertyX
On July 31, 2021, NCR entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Moon Inc. dba LibertyX, a leading cryptocurrency software provider. The transaction is expected to close later in 2021, subject to customary closing conditions, including obtaining certain regulatory licensing consents and approvals.


Acquisition of Cardtronics plc

On January 25, 2021, NCR entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all outstanding shares of Cardtronics plc (“Cardtronics”) for $39.00 per share (the “Cardtronics Transaction”). The legal closing of the Cardtronics Transaction occurred on June 21, 2021.

Cardtronics is the world's largest non-bank ATM operator and service provider enabling cash transactions by converting digital currency into physical cash at over 285,000 ATMs across 10 countries in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Africa. The Cardtronics Transaction is expected to accelerate our NCR-as-a-service strategy and enhance our ability to provide technology solutions and capabilities that run our customers’ businesses.

Purchase Price Consideration The purchase consideration transferred consisted of the following:

In millionsPurchase Consideration
Cash paid to common stockholders and holders of certain restricted stock and stock option awards$1,775 
Debt repaid by NCR on behalf of Cardtronics809 
Transaction costs paid by NCR on behalf of Cardtronics57 
Fair value of converted Cardtronics awards attributable to pre-combination services19 
Settlement of pre-existing relationships14 
Total purchase consideration$2,674 

Other than certain outstanding restricted stock and stock option awards issued to directors which were paid out in cash at closing, the Company converted outstanding unvested Cardtronics awards into NCR awards pursuant to an exchange ratio as defined in the acquisition agreement. Each restricted stock award that was outstanding, whether performance-based or time-based, was converted into time-based awards, and will continue to be governed by the same vesting terms as the original Cardtronics awards. Cardtronics stock option awards were converted into NCR stock option awards with an exercise price per share for option awards equal to the exercise price per share of such stock option award immediately prior to the completion of the acquisition divided by the exchange ratio, and will continue to be governed generally by the same terms and conditions as were applicable prior to the acquisition. The amounts attributable to services already rendered were included as an adjustment to the purchase price and the amounts attributable to future services will be expensed over the remaining vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. The fair value of options that the Company assumed in connection with the acquisition of Cardtronics were estimated using the Black-Scholes model.

Recording of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed The fair value of consideration transferred to acquire Cardtronics was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition as set forth below.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price for Cardtronics is as follows:
In millionsFair Value
Assets acquired
      Cash and restricted cash acquired$296 
      Trade accounts receivable84 
      Prepaid expenses, other current assets and other assets154 
      Property, plant and equipment359 
      Estimated acquisition-related intangible assets877 
Total assets acquired$1,770 
Liabilities assumed690 
Net assets acquired, excluding goodwill1,080 
Total purchase consideration2,674 
Estimated goodwill$1,594 

We recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of June 21, 2021. The provisional amounts for intangible assets are based on third-party valuations performed. Additionally, further adjustments to the purchase price allocation will be required, within the measurement period, once the Company is able to complete more detailed procedures, and additional refinement to finalize valuations, among other items.

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be separately recognized. The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists of revenue and cost synergies expected from combining the operations of NCR and Cardtronics. It is expected that approximately $153 million of the goodwill recognized in connection with the acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill arising from the acquisition has been allocated to our Banking segment. Refer to Note 3, Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets, for the carrying amounts of goodwill by segment as of September 30, 2021.

The following table sets forth the components of the intangible assets acquired as of the acquisition date:
