2021 Acquisitions and Investments. On February 10, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of Kount, a provider of fraud prevention and digital identity solutions for $640 million within the USIS business unit. Additionally in the first quarter of 2021, the Company acquired 100% of HIREtech and i2Verify within the Workforce Solutions business unit as well as a small acquisition and purchase of the remaining noncontrolling interest of a business within our International business unit. All of these acquisitions expand the Company's data assets as well as product offerings. The purchase price allocations for these acquisitions are not yet finalized and open areas related to measurement of intangible assets, income taxes and working capital, as well as the assignment of goodwill recognized in the transactions to the appropriate reporting units. For the Workforce Solutions acquisitions, management estimated the allocation of purchased intangible assets and goodwill based on an analysis of previous acquisitions. Accordingly, adjustments will be made to the values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the valuation date.
