instruments, the Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020, which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements as credit losses are not expected to be significant based on historical trends, the financial condition of our customers and external factors. Management actively monitors the economic environment, including any potential effects from theCOVID-19 pandemic, on the Company’s customers and its financial assets.
Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted:
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU2020-01,Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU2020-01”)to clarify the interaction in accounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU2020-01 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU2019-12,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU2019-12”), which eliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intra-period tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxes by clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition of franchise tax and the evaluation of astep-up in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU2019-12 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 4. Business Combinations
On September 2, 2019, the Company (then known as J2 Acquisition Limited) entered into an agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of APi Group (the “APi Acquisition”), a market-leading business services provider of safety, specialty, and industrial services in over 200 locations, primarily in North America. In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on October 1, 2019, the Company completed the APi Acquisition and obtained control of APi Group and, concurrently, changed the Company’s name to APi Group Corporation.
The aggregate purchase price consideration transferred to the shareholders of APi Group (the “Sellers”) totaled $2,991, which included: i) a cash payment made at closing of $2,565, net of cash acquired; ii) deferred purchase consideration with an estimated fair value of $135; and iii) 28,373,000 ordinary shares of the Company with a value of $291. The Company funded the cash portion of the purchase price with a combination of cash on hand, a $1,200 term loan under a new term loan facility (see Note 11 – “Debt”) and approximately $207 of proceeds from a warrant exercise.
The deferred purchase price consideration is an estimate of future payments to be made to the Sellers pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement upon final determination of certain income tax related matters. Prior to the APi Acquisition, APi Group was structured for United States (“US”) income tax purposes as a “flow through entity”. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to pay to the Sellers the following amounts: i) up to $130 related to an Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 338(h)(10) election made by the Sellers; ii) up to $22.5 for IRC Section 965 taxes incurred by the Sellers and; iii) an amount sufficient to cover the Sellers’ state and federal tax liabilities for 2019. These deferred payments are expected to be paid to the Sellers over the course of approximately 18 months from the APi Acquisition date. A final determination of the amounts of deferred purchase consideration due to the sellers will not be determined until such time that the Company files its final 2019 tax return. The
