Acquisition of private company

On January 2, 2019, pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger dated as of January 2, 2019 between Envestnet and a private company, the private company merged into Yodlee Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Private Company Acquisition”). The private company provides conversational artificial intelligence tools and applications to financial services firms, improves the way Financial Service Providers (“FSPs”) can interact with their customers, and supports these FSPs to better engage, support and assist their consumers leveraging this latest wave of customer-centric capabilities.

The technology and operations of the private company is included in the Company’s Envestnet Data & Analytics segment.

The seller of the private company is also entitled to an earn-out payment based on the private company's revenue and other retention targets for the twelve-month period beginning January 1, 2021. The discounted amount of the contingent consideration liability is estimated to be $7,580 and is included in other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The estimated fair values of the deferred income taxes, identifiable intangible assets, contingent consideration liability, and goodwill balances are provisional and based on information that was available to the Company as of the acquisition date. The estimated fair values of these provisional items are based on certain valuation and other studies that are in progress and not yet at the point where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The Company believes the preliminary information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of these amounts, but is waiting for additional information
necessary to finalize those fair values. Therefore, provisional measurements of fair values reflected herewithin are subject to change and such changes could be significant. The Company expects to finalize the valuation of tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill balances and complete the acquisition accounting as soon as reasonably practicable but no later than January 2, 2020.

Acquisition of PIEtech

On May 1, 2019, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of PIEtech, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“PIEtech”). PIEtech empowers financial advisors to use financial planning to efficiently motivate their clients to create, implement and maintain financial plans that best meet their lifetime financial goals. The technology and operations of PIEtech, which now operates as Envestnet | MoneyGuide, is included in the Envestnet Wealth Solutions segment.
    
The acquisition of PIEtech (the “PIEtech Acquisition”) establishes Envestnet as a leader in financial planning solutions, providing advisors and their clients with access to a full spectrum of financial planning capabilities, and offering a broad range of data-driven, financial plan-informed financial wellness solutions, both domestically and internationally over time. Integration of PIEtech's MoneyGuide software with the Company's integrated technology platform is expected to reduce friction and enhance productivity for advisors.

In connection with the PIEtech Acquisition, the Company paid net cash consideration of $299,370, subject to a working capital adjustment, and issued 3,184,713 shares of Envestnet common stock, par value $0.005 per share, to the sellers. The Company funded the PIEtech Acquisition with available cash resources and borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

In connection with the PIEtech Acquisition, the Company established a retention bonus pool consisting of approximately $30,000 of cash and restricted stock units to be granted to employees and management of PIEtech as inducement grants. As a result, the Company adopted the Envestnet, Inc. 2019 Acquisition Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Equity Plan”) in order to make inducement grants to certain PIEtech employees who will join Envestnet | MoneyGuide. Envestnet agreed to grant at future dates, not earlier than the sixty day anniversary of the PIEtech Acquisition, up to 301,469 shares of Envestnet common stock in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) pursuant to the 2019 Equity Plan and made cash retention payments of approximately $8,800 to certain legacy PIEtech employees who joined Envestnet | MoneyGuide. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has issued approximately 62,400 and 24,900 RSUs and PSUs, respectively, under the 2019 Equity Plan to legacy PIEtech employees. At this time the Company expects to issue approximately 214,000 additional RSUs and PSUs and expects to pay approximately $5,300 in cash bonus payments over the next three years in connection with the PIEtech Acquisition.

The Company also granted membership interests in certain of the Company's equity method investments to two PIEtech executives with an estimated grant date fair market value of $8,900. These membership interests will vest on May 1, 2020 and become exercisable in future periods. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has recorded approximately $3,700 as a component of compensation and benefits in the condensed consolidated statement of operations with a corresponding liability in other non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
