        The results of Tamarac's operations are included in the consolidated statements of operations beginning May 1, 2012. Tamarac's revenues and pre-tax loss for the eight-month period ended December 31, 2012 totaled $9,971 and ($1,236), respectively. The loss for the eight months ended December 31, 2012 included acquired intangible asset amortization of $1,304.

        In accordance with the terms of the merger agreement between Envestnet and Tamarac, Tamarac senior management was required to apply at least 50% (up to 100%) of the aggregate proceeds of the Tamarac change of control payment totaling $2,759 to purchase registered shares of Envestnet common stock (232,150 shares) in an amount equal to 95% multiplied by the Envestnet closing market price on the day before the merger closed (see Note 12).

        In addition, the Company adopted the Envestnet, Inc. Management Incentive Plan for Envestnet | Tamarac Management Employees (the "2012 Plan"). The 2012 Plan provides for the grant of up to 559,551 shares of unvested common stock. The unvested common stock vests based upon Tamarac meeting certain performance conditions and then a subsequent two-year service condition (see Note 13). The Company also granted to certain Tamarac employees 232,150 stock options to acquire Envestnet common stock at an exercise price of $12.51. These stock options vest on the second anniversary of the grant date (see Note 13).

Wealth Management Solutions

        On July 1, 2013, the Company acquired the Wealth Management Solutions ("WMS") division of Prudential Investments LLC. In accordance with the purchase agreement, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of WMS for total consideration of $24,730. WMS is a provider of technology solutions that enables financial services firms to develop and enhance their wealth management offerings. The Company acquired WMS to better serve the wealth management needs of the bank channel, deepen the Company's practice management capabilities, and benefit from the operational leverage resulting from consolidating WMS's business onto the Company's unified wealth management platform.

        The goodwill arising from the acquisition represents the expected synergistic benefits of the transaction, primarily related to an increase in future revenues as a result of potential cross selling opportunities, as well as lower future operating expenses, including a reduction in headcount from pre-acquisition levels and lower technology platform-related costs due to the migration of WMS's clients to the Company's platform. The goodwill is also related to the knowledge and experience of the workforce in place.

        The consideration in the acquisition was as follows:

​  

​  

        In connection with the acquisition of WMS, the Company is required to pay Prudential Investments contingent consideration of $6,000 per year for three years, based upon WMS's annualized net revenue relative to a target of $28,000 per year, with lower payments for performance below the target and higher payments for performance above the target, subject to an aggregate maximum of $23,000. The Company recorded a liability as of the date of acquisition of $15,738, which represented the estimated fair value of contingent consideration on the date of acquisition and is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement as described in Note 8.

        The estimated fair value of contingent consideration as of December 31, 2014 was $11,667. This amount is the present value of an undiscounted liability of $12,750, applying a discount rate of 10%. Payments will be made at the end of three twelve month closing periods. The first undiscounted payment of $6,000 was paid on August 12, 2014. The second and third undiscounted payments are anticipated to be $7,102 on August 15, 2015 and $5,648 on August 15, 2016. Changes to the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in earnings of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment to decrease the contingent consideration liability by $1,231 as a result of a decrease in the revenue assumptions for years 2 and 3. This adjustment is included in general and administration expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

        The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:
