On January 4, 2019, we completed the acquisition of Leerink Holdings LLC, the Boston-based parent company of healthcare and life science investment bank Leerink Partners LLC, now SVB Leerink Holdings LLC ("SVB Leerink"). The acquisition was previously announced on November 13, 2018. SVB Leerink is an investment bank specializing in Equity & Convertible Capital Markets, Mergers & Acquisitions, Equity Research and Sales & Trading for growth and innovation-minded healthcare and life science companies and operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SVB Financial.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and accordingly, the results of SVB Leerink's operations have been included in the Company's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements at and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 from the date of acquisition. We acquired SVB Leerink for approximately $273.2 million comprised of cash and share-based replacement award liabilities. In addition, we provided a retention pool for employees of $60.0 million to be paid over five years comprised of a mix of cash and equity issued under the Company's current Equity Incentive Plan. Refer to Note 4—“Share-Based Compensation” of the “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)” under Part I, Item 1 of this report for more information.
