3.BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS



On December 5, 2018, we purchased all of the equity of Leadership Institut GmbH, a Munich, Germany based company with wholly owned subsidiary companies in Switzerland and Austria. Leadership Institut GmbH previously operated as an independent licensee that provided our training and products to Germany, Switzerland, and Austria (GSA).  We transitioned the GSA licensee operation into a directly owned office operation during fiscal 2019.  The purchase price was $0.2 million in cash, plus $0.8 million in forgiveness of liabilities owed to the Company from the pre-existing relationship at the purchase date.  There is no contingent or other additional consideration associated with the purchase of the former GSA licensee.  We accounted for the acquisition of Leadership Institut Gmbh as a business combination in the second quarter of fiscal 2019.  We incurred costs for severance, legal, and other related acquisition expenses which totaled $0.5 million and were expensed in selling, general, and administrative expense during fiscal 2019.  The acquisition of the GSA licensee provides us the opportunity to operate a directly owned office in one of the world’s largest economic markets and is expected to provide significant future growth opportunities.  The total purchase price consisted of the following (in thousands):
