Acquisition
On March 23, 2012, AMD acquired SeaMicro, Inc. (SeaMicro), a privately held company that produces energy-efficient, high-bandwidth microservers. Through the acquisition of SeaMicro, AMD plans to accelerate its strategy to deliver disruptive server technology to its original equipment manufacturers (OEM) customers serving Cloud-centric data centers.
The total consideration paid to acquire SeaMicro was $312 million, not including cash acquired of $19 million. In addition, AMD incurred $6 million in transaction costs, which were included in marketing, general and administrative expenses on AMD's consolidated statement of operations. AMD paid $293 million in cash to the holders of all outstanding shares of SeaMicro capital stock. As part of the acquisition, AMD assumed all outstanding vested and unvested SeaMicro stock options and unvested restricted stock held by continuing SeaMicro employees as of March 23, 2012. The assumed options were exchanged for approximately 1,652,000 vested and 4,792,000 unvested AMD stock options. The assumed restricted stock was exchanged for approximately 322,000 AMD restricted shares. The stock options and restricted shares continue to have the same terms and conditions as under SeaMicro's option plan. The fair value attributable to pre-combination employee service as of the March 23, 2012 closing for the stock options and restricted shares assumed, which was part of the consideration paid to acquire SeaMicro, was $19 million. The fair value for the stock options assumed was determined using a binomial option-pricing valuation model.
The total cash consideration of $293 million included $29 million deposited into an escrow account as security for any breaches by SeaMicro of representations, warranties and covenants under the acquisition agreement. The escrow funds, less amounts of any valid indemnification claims, if any, will be disbursed by the escrow agent to the former stockholders of SeaMicro in March 2013.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the total consideration was assigned to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Fair values were determined by AMD's management based on information available at the date of acquisition. After the closing of the acquisition, the results of operations of SeaMicro are included in the Computing Solutions segment in AMD's consolidated financial statements.
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of SeaMicro were as follows:
The developed technology of SeaMicro relates to SeaMicro's SM10000 server offerings, which is built around a parallel array of independent ultra-low power processors, and it serves to integrate computation, switching, server management, and load balancing. In addition to developed technology, SeaMicro had in-process research and development projects, which were incomplete at the time of the acquisition. The value of developed technology and in-process research and development was determined based on the present value of estimated expected cash flows attributable to the technology. The customer relationships related to the ability to sell existing, in-process and future versions of the technology to SeaMicro's existing customers and were valued based on incremental cash flows generated from the existing customer base. The trade name related to the SeaMicro brand names. The goodwill was primarily attributed to premiums paid for synergies between AMD and SeaMicro and the assembled workforce and is not deductible for tax purposes. The acquired developed technology, customer relationships and trade name are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The acquired in-process research and development and goodwill associated with the acquisition are categorized as indefinite-lived intangible assets and subject to impairment review. Capitalized acquired in-process research and development costs will remain capitalized until such time as the projects are complete, at which point they will be amortized, or they will be written off when it is probable the projects will not be completed. As of December 29, 2012, approximately $5 million of in-process research and development projects were completed and classified as developed technology, and the Company started to amortize these projects on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of AMD and SeaMicro during 2012 and 2011 as though the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. The pro forma financial information also includes certain adjustments such as amortization expense from acquired intangible assets, inventory adjustment to fair value, share-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options and restricted stock assumed, acquisition-related costs and the income tax impact of the pro forma adjustments. The pro forma financial information presented below does not include any anticipated synergies or other expected benefits of the acquisition. It is presented for informational purposes only and not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the periods presented.
