NOTE 4: ACQUISITIONS

Infostrada Sports, SportsDirect and Enswers (as further defined and described below) were divested in the Gracenote Sale. As of December 31, 2016, the assets and liabilities of the acquisitions of these businesses are classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet and for the years ended December 31, 2017, December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, their operating results, as well as any associated transactions costs, are presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In May 2015, the Company completed the acquisitions of all issued and outstanding equity interests in Infostrada Statistics B.V. (“Infostrada Sports”), SportsDirect Inc. (“SportsDirect”) and Covers Media Group (“Covers”). Infostrada Sports and SportsDirect provided the Company with in-depth sports data, including schedules, scores, play-by-play statistics, as well as team and player information for the major professional leagues around the world, including the National Football League, Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League, European Football League, and the Olympics. Covers is the operator of Covers.com, a North American online sports gaming destination for scores, odds and matchups, unique editorial analysis, and industry news coverage. In May 2015, the Company also completed an acquisition of all issued and outstanding equity interests in Enswers Inc. (“Enswers”), a leading provider of automatic content recognition technology and systems based in South Korea. The total acquisition price for Infostrada Sports, SportsDirect, Covers and Enswers was $70 million, net of cash acquired.

The purchase prices for the above acquisitions were allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The excess of the fair values and the related deferred taxes were allocated to goodwill, which will not be deductible for tax purposes due to the acquisitions being stock acquisitions. In connection with these acquisitions, the Company incurred a total of $3 million of transaction costs.

The total purchase price for the Infostrada Sports, SportsDirect, Covers and Enswers acquisitions assigned to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of these companies is as follows (in thousands):



Consideration:
Cash	$	71,768
Less: cash acquired	(1,919		)
Net cash	$	69,849

Allocated Fair Value of Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities:
Restricted cash and cash equivalents	$	404
Accounts receivable and other current assets	2,481
Property and equipment	805
Deferred tax assets	3,816
Other long term assets	157
Intangible assets subject to amortization
Customer relationships (useful lives of 6 to 16 years)	17,000
Content databases (useful lives of 10 to 16 years)	13,900
Technologies (useful lives 4 to 10 years)	6,900
Trade name and trademarks (useful life of 15 years)	5,200
Non-competition agreement (useful life 5 years)	1,100
Accounts payable and other current liabilities	(1,507		)
Deferred revenue	(339		)
Deferred tax liabilities	(10,097		)
Other liabilities	(477		)
Total identifiable net assets	39,343
Goodwill	30,506
Total net assets acquired	$	69,849

The allocation presented above is based upon management’s estimate of the fair values using income, cost and market approaches. In estimating the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the fair value estimates are based on, but not limited to, expected future revenue and cash flows, expected future growth rates and estimated discount rates. The definite-lived intangible assets will be amortized over a total weighted average period of 12 years that include weighted average periods of 11 years for customer relationships, 14 years for content databases, 8 years for technologies, 15 years for trade name and trademarks and 5 years for non-competition agreements. The acquired property and equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the respective estimated remaining useful lives. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce, and noncontractual relationships, as well as expected future cost and revenue synergies.
