2023 Acquisition

On January 3, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of Griffin Underwriting Services, a binding authority specialist and wholesale insurance broker headquartered in Bellevue, WA, for total consideration of $115.5 million. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination and the Company recognized $51.4 million of customer relationships in Other intangible assets, $64.0 million of Goodwill, and $0.1 million, net, of other miscellaneous assets and liabilities. Estimates and assumptions used in these valuations are subject to change within the measurement period up to one year from the acquisition date.

Contingent Consideration

Total consideration for certain acquisitions includes contingent consideration, which is generally based on the EBITDA of the acquired business following a defined period after purchase. Further information regarding fair value measurements is detailed in Note 13, Fair Value Measurements.

The Company recognizes income or loss for the changes in fair value of estimated contingent consideration within Change in contingent consideration, and recognizes interest expense for accretion of the discount on these liabilities within Interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
