Acquisition

There were no acquisitions completed during fiscal year 2023. During fiscal year 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Lion. As a result of acquiring 100 percent of the outstanding share capital of Lion, Lion became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. All of the acquired assets and liabilities of Lion have been recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date.

At the acquisition date, total consideration transferred was approximately $280.5 million, inclusive of $4.9 million in cash acquired. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2022, an additional $1.2 million of consideration was paid related to contractual post-closing adjustment provisions. The remaining merger consideration of $31.0 million was subject to indemnity provisions as outlined in the merger agreement and paid during fiscal year 2023.

In addition, $25.4 million of the merger consideration relates to retention agreements with certain key employees that are subject to continued employment with the Company. The merger consideration subject to retention agreements is treated as compensation expense and is recognized over the retention period in "Research and development" expense in the consolidated statements of income.

The excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill during fiscal year 2022.
