ACQUISITIONS

On January 31, 2017, we completed the acquisition of privately-held Social Point, S.L. (“Social Point”), a Spanish free-to-play mobile game developer, for consideration of $175,000 in cash and the issuance of 1,480,168 shares of the Company's common stock, plus contingent earn-out consideration of up to an aggregate of $25,900 in cash and shares of the Company's common stock. The cash portion was funded from our cash on hand. Certain of the shares that were issued to continuing employees are subject to transferability restrictions and forfeiture provisions requiring their continued employment subject to certain exceptions over the three-year period following the closing and are therefore considered share-based compensation over the service period.

We acquired Social Point to leverage its strong portfolio of technology, assembled workforce, and existing free-to-play mobile games in order to expand and enhance our game offerings, particularly on mobile platforms.

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $238,736, which consisted of the following:

The fair value of the of the purchase consideration attributed to the common shares issued was calculated by using the Take-Two's closing share price on January 30, 2017, as the shares were transferred prior to the opening of the market on January 31, 2017.
 
The contingent earn-out consideration arrangement requires us to pay up to an aggregate of $25,900 in cash and shares of the Take-Two common stock, if Social Point achieves certain performance measures over the 12 and 24 month periods following the closing. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement at the acquisition date was $6,409. We estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration using a Monte Carlo simulation model. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820. (Refer to Note 3.) As of March 31, 2017, there were no significant changes in the range of outcomes for the contingent consideration recognized as a result of the acquisition of Social Point, although the recognized amount increased to $6,465 as a result of minor changes in estimates, the passage of time (reduced impact of discounting), and currency exchange rate fluctuations.

The following table summarizes the preliminary acquisition date fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed from Social Point.

Goodwill, which is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes, represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, and is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce of the acquired business and expected synergies at the time of the acquisition. The preliminary fair values of net tangible and intangible assets are management’s estimates based on the information available at the acquisition date.

The Company recognized $1,915 of acquisition related costs that were expensed in the current period. These costs are included in our Consolidated Statement of Operations within General and Administrative expenses.

The amounts of revenue and earnings of Social Point included in our Consolidated Statement of Operations from the acquisition date to the period ending March 31, 2017 are as follows:


February 1, 2017 to March 31, 2017
Net revenue

The following represents the pro forma consolidated information (unaudited) as if Social Point had been included in our consolidated results for the entire years ending March 31, 2017 and 2016, and due to different fiscal period ends, combines the historical results of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and the historical results of Social Point for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively:

These amounts have been calculated after applying our accounting policies and adjusting the results of Social Point to reflect recognition of revenue over an estimated service period as compared to upfront recognition; the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets had been applied on April 1, 2015; stock-based compensation expense associated with the 408,429 shares of the Company's common stock granted in the acquisition which vest over three years subject to continued employment; together with the consequential tax effects as though the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented. The pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved based on these assumptions.
