NOTE 3—ACQUISITIONS:
PK Acquisition
Background
On December 27, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of PK, a leading CX design engineering company with more than 5,000 staff in four countries. PK creates pioneering experiences that accelerate digital outcomes for their clients’ customers, partners and staff. The acquisition of PK expanded the Company’s scale in the digital IT services market and supported the Company’s growth strategy of investing in digital transformation to deliver exceptional customer experiences. The addition of the PK staff and technology to the Company’s team further strengthened its capabilities in CX design and development, artificial intelligence (“AI”), intelligent automation, and customer loyalty.
Purchase price consideration
The total purchase price consideration, net of cash and restricted cash acquired, for the acquisition of PK was $1,573.3 million, which was funded by proceeds from the Company’s new term loan (the “Term Loan”) under its amended senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) and additional borrowings under its accounts receivable securitization facility (the “Securitization Facility”). See Note 8—Borrowings for a further discussion of the Term Loan, the Credit Facility and the Securitization Facility.
The purchase price consideration to acquire PK consisted of the following:
| | | | | |
Cash consideration for PK stock (1) | $ | 1,177,342 | |
Cash consideration for PK vested equity awards (2) | 246,229 | |
Cash consideration for repayment of PK debt, including accrued interest (3) | 148,492 | |

Total consideration transferred | 1,610,630 | |
Less: Cash and restricted cash acquired (6) | 37,310 | |
Total purchase price consideration | $ | 1,573,320 | |
(1) Represents the cash consideration paid for the outstanding shares of PK’s common stock, which includes the final settlement of the merger consideration adjustment paid pursuant to the merger agreement.
(2) Represents the cash consideration paid for certain vested PK stock option awards and restricted stock awards.
(3) Represents the cash consideration paid to retire PK’s outstanding third-party debt, including accrued interest.
(4) Represents the cash consideration paid for expenses incurred by PK in connection with the merger and paid by Concentrix pursuant to the merger agreement. These expenses primarily related to third-party consulting services.
(5) Represents the issuance of vested Concentrix stock options that were issued in conversion of certain vested PK stock options that were assumed by Concentrix pursuant to the merger agreement.
(6) Represents the PK cash and restricted cash balance acquired at the acquisition.
Purchase price allocation
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest based on management’s estimate of the respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill were the assembled workforce, comprehensive service portfolio delivery capabilities and strategic benefits that are expected to be realized from the acquisition. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The following table summarizes the final fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest as of the acquisition date:
| | | | | |
| As of |
| December 27, 2021 |
Assets acquired: | |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 30,798 | |
Accounts receivable | 85,367 | |
Property and equipment | 11,158 | |
Operating lease right-of-use assets | 12,288 | |
Identifiable intangible assets | 469,300 | |
Goodwill | 1,119,068 | |
Other assets | 26,449 | |
Total assets acquired | 1,754,428 | |
| |
Liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest: | |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 78,092 | |
Operating lease liabilities | 12,288 | |
Deferred tax liabilities | 51,418 | |
Non-controlling interest | 2,000 | |
Total liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest | 143,798 | |
| |
Total consideration transferred | $ | 1,610,630 | |
The purchase price allocation includes $469,300 of acquired identifiable intangible assets, all of which have finite lives. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets has been estimated by using the income approach through a discounted cash flow analysis of certain cash flow projections. The cash flow projections are based on forecasts used by the Company to price the PK acquisition, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked by referencing the implied rate of return of the Company’s pricing model and the weighted average cost of capital. The intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives on either a straight-line basis or an accelerated method that reflects the economic benefit of the asset. The determination of the useful lives is based upon various industry studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors, and future forecasted cash flows of the Company following the acquisition of PK.
The amounts allocated to intangible assets are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Gross Carrying Amount | | Weighted-Average Useful Life |
Customer relationships | $ | 398,600 | | | 15 years |
Technology | 63,500 | | | 5 years |
Trade name | 5,000 | | | 3 years |
Non-compete agreements | 2,200 | | | 3 years |
Total | $ | 469,300 | | | |

The supplemental pro forma financial information reflects pro forma adjustments to present the combined pro forma results of operations as if the PK acquisition had occurred on December 1, 2020 to give effect to certain events that the Company believes to be directly attributable to the acquisition. These pro forma adjustments primarily include:
•An increase in amortization expense that would have been recognized due to acquired identifiable intangible assets.
•An adjustment to interest expense to reflect the additional borrowings of Concentrix under the Credit Facility and the repayment of PK’s historical debt in conjunction with the acquisition.
•The related income tax effects of the adjustments noted above.

ServiceSource Acquisition
Background
On July 20, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of ServiceSource International, Inc. (“ServiceSource”), a global outsourced go-to-market services provider, delivering business-to-business (“B2B”) digital sales and customer success solutions that complemented Concentrix’ offerings in this area.
Purchase price consideration
The total purchase price consideration, net of cash acquired, for the acquisition of ServiceSource was $141.5 million, which was primarily funded by cash on the Company’s balance sheet, as well as borrowings under the Company’s Securitization Facility.
The preliminary purchase price consideration to acquire ServiceSource consisted of the following:
| | | | | |
Cash consideration for ServiceSource stock (1) | $ | 150,392 | |
Cash consideration for ServiceSource vested and unvested equity awards (2) | 6,704 | |

Total purchase price consideration | $ | 141,507 | |
(1) Represents the cash consideration paid for the outstanding shares of ServiceSource’s common stock.
(2) Represents the cash consideration paid or to be paid for vested and unvested ServiceSource stock option awards, restricted stock units and performance stock units.
(3) Represents the cash consideration paid to retire ServiceSource’s outstanding third-party debt, including accrued interest.
(4) Represents the ServiceSource cash and restricted cash balance acquired at the acquisition.
Preliminary purchase price allocation
The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management’s estimate of the respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill were the assembled workforce, high-value service delivery capabilities and strategic benefits that are expected to be realized from the acquisition. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimates of fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:
| | | | | |
| As of |
| July 20, 2022 |
Assets acquired: | |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 24,355 | |
Accounts receivable | 40,097 | |
Property and equipment | 8,112 | |
Operating lease right-of-use assets | 29,487 | |
Identifiable intangible assets | 40,200 | |
Goodwill | 45,502 | |
Net deferred tax assets | 22,724 | |
Other assets | 20,238 | |
Total assets acquired | 230,715 | |
| |
Liabilities assumed: | |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 34,069 | |
Operating lease liabilities | 29,487 | |
Total liabilities assumed | 63,556 | |
| |
Total consideration transferred | $ | 167,159 | |
As of February 28, 2023, the purchase price allocation is preliminary. The preliminary purchase price allocation was based upon a preliminary valuation, and the Company’s estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (not to exceed twelve months following the acquisition date). The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the valuation of identifiable intangible assets acquired, the fair value of certain tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and deferred income taxes. The Company expects to continue to obtain information for the purpose of determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date throughout the remainder of the measurement period. Measurement period adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation during the three months ended February 28, 2023 were not material.
The preliminary purchase price allocation includes $40,200 of acquired identifiable intangible assets, all of which have finite lives. The preliminary fair value of the identifiable intangible assets has been estimated using the income approach through a discounted cash flow analysis of certain cash flow projections. The intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives on either a straight-line basis or an accelerated method that reflects the economic benefit of the asset. The determination of the useful lives is based upon various industry studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors, and future forecasted cash flows of the Company following the acquisition of ServiceSource.
The preliminary amounts allocated to intangible assets are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Gross Carrying Amount | | Weighted-Average Useful Life |
Customer relationships | $ | 31,370 | | | 15 years |
Technology | 5,640 | | | 5 years |

amortization of actuarial (gains) losses of defined benefit plans is recorded in “Other expense (income), net” in the consolidated statement of operations.
NOTE 6—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk and credit risk. The Company enters into transactions, and owns monetary assets and liabilities, that are denominated in currencies other than the legal entity’s functional currency. The Company may enter into forward contracts, option contracts, or other derivative instruments to offset a portion of the risk on expected future cash flows, earnings, net investments in certain non-U.S. legal entities and certain existing assets and liabilities. However, the Company may choose not to hedge certain exposures for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, accounting considerations and the economic cost of hedging particular exposures. There can be no assurance the hedges will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in foreign currency exchange or interest rates. Generally, the Company does not use derivative instruments to cover equity risk and credit risk. The Company’s hedging program is not used for trading or speculative purposes.
All derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair values. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations, or as a component of AOCI in the consolidated balance sheets, as discussed below.
Cash Flow Hedges
To protect gross margins from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, certain of the Company’s legal entities with functional currencies that are not U.S. dollars may hedge a portion of forecasted revenue or costs not denominated in the entities’ functional currencies. These instruments mature at various dates through February 2025. Gains and losses on cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of foreign currency revenue are recognized as a component of “Revenue” in the same period as the related revenue is recognized, and deferred gains and losses related to cash flow hedges of foreign currency costs are recognized as a component of “Cost of revenue” or “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the same period as the related costs are recognized. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges must be de-designated as hedges when it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur in the initially identified time period or within a subsequent two-month time period. Deferred gains and losses in AOCI associated with such derivative instruments are reclassified into earnings in the period of de-designation. Any subsequent changes in fair value of such derivative instruments are recorded in earnings unless they are re-designated as hedges of other transactions.
Non-Designated Derivatives
The Company uses short-term forward contracts to offset the foreign exchange risk of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the Company’s legal entities that own the assets or liabilities. These contracts, which are not designated as hedging instruments, mature or settle within twelve months. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in the financial statement line item to which the derivative relates.
Fair Values of Derivative Instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets
The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are disclosed in Note 7—Fair Value Measurements and summarized in the table below: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Value as of |
Balance Sheet Line Item | | February 28, 2023 | | November 30, 2022 |
Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments: | | | | |
Foreign exchange forward contracts (notional value) | | $ | 1,535,892 | | | $ | 1,465,853 | |
Other current assets | | 19,249 | | | 22,839 | |
Other accrued liabilities | | 13,582 | | | 14,934 | |
Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges: | | | | |
Foreign exchange forward contracts (notional value) | | $ | 1,026,969 | | | $ | 963,844 | |
Other current assets and other assets | | 10,731 | | | 6,389 | |
Other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities | | 19,332 | | | 32,935 | |
Volume of activity
The notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts represent the gross amounts of foreign currency, including, principally, the Philippine peso, the Indian rupee, the Canadian dollar, the Japanese yen and the Australian dollar, that will be bought or sold at maturity. The notional amounts for outstanding derivative instruments provide one measure of the transaction volume outstanding and do not represent the amount of the Company’s exposure to credit or market loss. The Company’s exposure to credit loss and market risk will vary over time as currency exchange rates change.
The Effect of Derivative Instruments on AOCI and the Consolidated Statements of Operations
The following table shows the gains and losses, before taxes, of the Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges and not designated as hedging instruments in other comprehensive income (“OCI”), and the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Three Months Ended |
| Locations of gain (loss) in statement of operations | | February 28, 2023 | | February 28, 2022 |
Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges | | | | | |
Gains (losses) recognized in OCI: | | | | | |
Foreign exchange forward contracts | | | $ | 10,203 | | | $ | (3,707) | |

Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments: | | | | | |
Gain (loss) recognized from foreign exchange forward contracts, net(1) | Other expense (income), net | | $ | 6,225 | | | $ | (1,012) | |
(1) The gains and losses largely offset the currency gains and losses that resulted from changes in the assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies.
There were no material gain or loss amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. Existing net losses in AOCI that are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the normal course of business within the next twelve months are $10,899.
Offsetting of Derivatives
In the consolidated balance sheets, the Company does not offset derivative assets against liabilities in master netting arrangements.
Credit exposure for derivative financial instruments is limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties’ obligations under the contracts exceed the Company’s obligations to the counterparties. The Company manages the potential risk of credit losses through careful evaluation of counterparty credit standing and selection of counterparties from a limited group of financial institutions with high credit standing.
NOTE 7—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:
The Company’s fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s investments and financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| As of February 28, 2023 | | As of November 30, 2022 |
| | | Fair value measurement category | | | | Fair value measurement category |
| Total | | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total | | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 |
Assets: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Cash equivalents | $ | 92,715 | | | $ | 92,715 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 89,932 | | | $ | 89,932 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
Foreign government bond | 1,564 | | | 1,564 | | | — | | | — | | | 1,529 | | | 1,529 | | | — | | | — | |
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts | 29,980 | | | — | | | 29,980 | | | — | | | 29,228 | | | — | | | 29,228 | | | — | |

The Company’s cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments in money market funds and term deposits with maturity periods of three months or less. The carrying values of cash equivalents approximate fair value since they are near their maturity. Investment in foreign government bond classified as an available-for-sale debt security is recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. The fair values of forward exchange contracts are measured based on the foreign currency spot and forward rates. Fair values of long-term foreign currency exchange contracts are measured using valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and are valued by reference to similar financial instruments, adjusted for terms specific to the contracts. The effect of nonperformance risk on the fair value of derivative instruments was not material as of February 28, 2023 and November 30, 2022.
The carrying values of term deposits with maturities less than one year, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities and interest rates that are variable in nature. The carrying values of the outstanding balance on the Term Loan under the Company’s Credit Facility and the outstanding balance on the Securitization Facility approximate their fair values since they bear interest rates that are similar to existing market rates.
During the three months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022, there were no transfers between the fair value measurement category levels.
NOTE 8—BORROWINGS:
Borrowings consist of the following:

Credit Facility
On December 27, 2021, in connection with the closing of the acquisition of PK, Concentrix entered into the Credit Facility to (i) refinance the then-outstanding term loan (the “Prior Term Loan”) with the Term Loan, which was fully advanced, in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $2,100,000, (ii) increase the commitments under its revolving credit facility to $1,000,000 (the “Revolver”), (iii) extend the maturity of the Credit Facility from November 30, 2025 to December 27, 2026, (iv) replace LIBOR with SOFR (the Secured Overnight Financing Rate) as the primary reference rate used to calculate interest on the loans under the Credit Facility, and (v) modify the commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolver and the margins in excess of the reference rates at which the loans under the Credit Facility bear interest. The proceeds from the Term Loan and additional borrowings under the Securitization Facility were used to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Prior Term Loan and to finance the acquisition of PK, including the repayment of certain indebtedness of PK and the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the acquisition of PK.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, in the case of term or daily SOFR loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (but not less than 0.0%), plus an adjustment of between 0.10% and 0.25% depending on the interest period of each SOFR loan, plus an applicable margin, which ranges from 1.25% to 2.00%, based on Concentrix’ consolidated leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Credit Facility that are base rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the greatest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1.00%, (b) the rate of interest last publicly announced by Bank of America as its “prime rate” and (c) the term SOFR rate plus 1.00%, plus (ii) an applicable margin, which ranges from 0.25% to 1.00%, based on Concentrix’ consolidated leverage ratio. A commitment fee is payable on the unused portion of the Revolver that ranges from 22.5 to 30 basis points, based on Concentrix’ consolidated leverage ratio.
Beginning August 31, 2022, the outstanding principal of the Term Loan became payable in quarterly installments of $26,250, with the unpaid balance due in full on the maturity date. During the three months ended February 28, 2023, the Company paid $25,000 of voluntary principal prepayments, without penalty, on the Term Loan. Based on the Company’s required and voluntary principal prepayments made to date, the next quarterly installment of $26,250 is due in November of 2024.
Concentrix may request, subject to obtaining commitments from any participating lenders and certain other conditions, incremental commitments to increase the amount of the Revolver or the Term Loan available under the Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $450,000, plus an additional amount, so long as after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount, the Company’s pro forma first lien leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) would not exceed 3.00 to 1.00.
Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of Concentrix Corporation and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries and are guaranteed by certain of its U.S. subsidiaries.
The Credit Facility contains various loan covenants that restrict the ability of Concentrix Corporation and its subsidiaries to take certain actions, including incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, mergers or consolidations, dispositions of assets, repurchase or redemption of capital stock, making certain investments, entering into certain transactions with affiliates or changing the nature of their business. In addition, the Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require Concentrix to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter, (i) a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) not to exceed 3.75 to 1.0 and (ii) a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) equal to or greater than 3.00 to 1.0. The Credit Facility also contains various customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, and a change of control of Concentrix.
At February 28, 2023 and November 30, 2022, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolver.
Securitization Facility
On July 6, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Securitization Facility, which was initially entered into on October 30, 2020, to (i) increase the commitment of the lenders to provide available borrowings from up to $350,000 to up to $500,000, (ii) extend the termination date of the Securitization Facility from October 28, 2022 to July 5, 2024, and (iii) replace LIBOR with SOFR as one of the reference rates used to calculate interest on borrowings under the Securitization Facility. In addition, the interest rate margins were amended, such that borrowings under the Securitization Facility that are funded through the issuance of commercial paper bear interest at the applicable commercial paper rate plus a spread of 0.70% and, otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (which includes a SOFR related adjustment of 0.10%), plus a spread of 0.80%.
Under the Securitization Facility, Concentrix and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Originators”) sell or otherwise transfer all of their accounts receivable to a special purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of Concentrix (the “Borrower”) that grants a security interest in the receivables to the lenders in exchange for available borrowings of up to $500,000. The amount received under the Securitization Facility is recorded as debt on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Borrowing availability under the Securitization Facility may be limited by the Company’s accounts receivable balances, changes in the credit ratings of the clients comprising the receivables, client concentration levels in the receivables, and certain characteristics of the accounts receivable being transferred (including factors tracking performance of the accounts receivable over time).
The Securitization Facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio covenant that is consistent with the Credit Facility and customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, a change in control of Concentrix, and certain events negatively affecting the overall credit quality of the transferred accounts receivable.
The Borrower’s sole business consists of the purchase or acceptance through capital contributions of the receivables and related security from the Originators and the subsequent retransfer of or granting of a security interest in such receivables and related security to the administrative agent under the Securitization Facility for the benefit of the lenders. The Borrower is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of the Borrower’s assets prior to any assets or value in the Borrower becoming available to the Borrower’s equity holders, and the assets of the Borrower are not available to pay creditors of Concentrix and its subsidiaries.
Covenant compliance
As of February 28, 2023 and November 30, 2022, Concentrix was in compliance with all covenants for the above arrangements.
NOTE 9—EARNINGS PER SHARE:
Basic and diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) are computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security. The Company’s restricted stock awards are considered participating securities because they are legally issued at the grant date and holders have a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends.

Total | $ | 1,636,404 | | | $ | 1,536,052 | |
NOTE 11—PENSION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLANS:
The Company has a 401(k) plan in the United States under which eligible employees may contribute up to the maximum amount as provided by law. Employees become eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the first day of the month after their employment date. The Company may make discretionary contributions under the plan. Employees in most of the Company’s non-U.S. legal entities are covered by government mandated defined contribution plans. During the three months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022, the Company contributed $22,654 and $21,812, respectively, to defined contribution plans.
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company has defined benefit pension and retirement plans for eligible employees of certain non-U.S. legal entities. For eligible employees in the United States, the Company maintains a frozen defined benefit pension plan (“the cash balance plan”), which includes both a qualified and non-qualified portion. The pension benefit formula for the cash balance plan is determined by a combination of compensation, age-based credits and annual guaranteed interest credits. The qualified portion of the cash balance plan has been funded through contributions made to a trust fund.
The Company maintains funded or unfunded defined benefit pension or retirement plans for certain eligible employees in the Philippines, Malaysia, India, and France. Benefits under these plans are primarily based on years of service and compensation during the years immediately preceding retirement or termination of participation in the plans.
Net benefit costs related to defined benefit plans were $2,934 and $5,722, during the three months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022, respectively. On an aggregate basis, the plans were underfunded by $72,288 and $71,815 at February 28, 2023 and November 30, 2022, respectively.
NOTE 12—INCOME TAXES:
Income taxes consist of current and deferred tax expense resulting from income earned in domestic and international jurisdictions. The effective tax rates for the three months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022 were impacted by the geographic mix of worldwide income and certain discrete items.
The liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $79,983 and $78,501 at February 28, 2023 and November 30, 2022, respectively, and is included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. As of February 28, 2023 and November 30, 2022, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would affect income tax expense if recognized in the consolidated financial statements was $42,631 and $40,793, respectively. This amount includes net interest and penalties of $8,163 and $7,538 for the respective periods. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease between approximately $37,341 and $40,198 in the next twelve months; however, actual developments in this area could differ from those currently expected.
NOTE 13— LEASES:
The Company leases certain of its facilities and equipment under operating lease agreements, which expire in various periods through 2035. The Company’s finance leases are not material.

NOTE 14—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties, including customers and suppliers, seeking indemnification, payment of money or other actions in connection with claims made against them. Also, from time to time, the Company has been involved in various bankruptcy preference actions where the Company was a supplier to the companies now in bankruptcy. In addition, the Company is subject to various other claims, both asserted and unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates these claims and records the related liabilities. It is possible that the liabilities ultimately incurred by the Company could differ from the amounts recorded.
Under the separation and distribution agreement with TD SYNNEX, the Company agreed to indemnify TD SYNNEX, each of its subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers and employees from and against all liabilities allocated to Concentrix under the separation and distribution agreement, which are generally those liabilities that relate to the CX business and the Company’s business activities, whether incurred prior to or after the spin-off.
Under the tax matters agreement with TD SYNNEX, if the spin-off fails to qualify for tax-free treatment, the Company is generally required to indemnify TD SYNNEX for any taxes resulting from the spin-off (and related costs and other damages) to the extent such amounts result from (1) an acquisition of all or a portion of the Company’s equity securities or assets by any means, (2) any action or failure to act by the Company after the distribution affecting the voting rights of the Company’s stock, (3) other actions or failures to act by the Company, or (4) certain breaches of the Company’s agreements and representations in the tax matters agreement. The Company’s indemnification obligations to TD SYNNEX and its subsidiaries, officers, directors and employees are not limited by any maximum amount.
The Company does not believe that the above commitments and contingencies will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
NOTE 15—STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:
Share repurchase program
In September 2021, the Company’s board of directors authorized the Company to purchase up to $500,000 of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock from time to time as market and business conditions warrant, including through open market purchases or Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The repurchase program has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the three months ended February 28, 2023, the Company repurchased 71 shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $10,001. During the three months ended February 28, 2022, the Company did not repurchase any shares under the program. The share repurchases were made on the open market and the shares repurchased by the Company are held in treasury for general corporate purposes. At February 28, 2023, approximately $344,083 remained available for share repurchases under the existing authorization from the Company’s board of directors.
During March 2023, the Company repurchased 39 shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $4,940.

On March 29, 2023, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.275 per share to stockholders of record as of April 28, 2023, payable on May 9, 2023.
NOTE 16—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Pending Combination with Webhelp
In March 2023, Concentrix entered into a binding put option agreement with certain shareholders of Marnix Lux SA (“Webhelp Parent”), the parent company of the Webhelp business. Webhelp is a leading provider of CX solutions, including sales, marketing, and payment services, with significant operations and client relationships in Europe, Latin America, and Africa. Following completion of required works council consultation processes, the parties are expected to enter into a definitive purchase agreement.
Under the terms of the agreement and subject to completion of the required works council consultations and the satisfaction of closing conditions, Concentrix will acquire 100% of the shares of Webhelp Parent in a transaction valued at approximately $4.8 billion, including the assumption of approximately €1.55 billion of net debt. At the closing of the transaction, shareholders of Webhelp Parent will receive (i) approximately 14.9 million shares of Concentrix common stock, (ii) €500 million in cash, (iii) a €700 million note payable in two years, bearing interest at 2% per annum, and (iv) the right to earn an additional 0.75 million shares of Concentrix common stock if the share price of Concentrix common stock reaches $170.00 per share within seven years from the closing of the transaction (based on daily volume weighted average prices measured over a specified period). Upon the closing of the transaction, Concentrix shareholders will own approximately 78% of the combined company with Webhelp Parent shareholders owning approximately 22%.
The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year, subject to completion of the required works council consultations and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including approval by Concentrix shareholders and regulatory approvals.
Debt Commitment Letter
In connection with the pending combination, the Company entered into a debt commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”), dated as of March 29, 2023, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), pursuant to which JPMorgan has committed to provide a 364-day bridge loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $5.29 billion (the “Bridge Facility”), consisting of three tranches: (i) a $2.44 billion tranche of term bridge loans, (ii) a $1.85 billion tranche of term bridge loans and (iii) a $1.0 billion tranche of revolving commitments (the “Amendment Revolving Tranche”), each subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions including the consummation of the combination with Webhelp. The Bridge Facility is available to (i) pay for a portion of the cash purchase price, (ii) directly or indirectly repay certain indebtedness of Webhelp Parent and its subsidiaries and certain indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries, and (iii) to pay fees, costs and expenses related to the transaction, the Bridge Facility and transactions being entered into or otherwise contemplated in
connection therewith. Additionally, the Amendment Revolving Tranche will be available after the consummation of the combination for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
If the Company utilizes the Bridge Facility, amounts drawn thereunder will bear interest at an annual rate equal to adjusted term SOFR plus a margin which may initially range from 1.125% to 2.000%, depending on the Company’s debt rating or leverage ratio, as applicable, as determined in accordance with the Commitment Letter, which margin will be increased by 0.25% on each of the 90th, 180th and 270th day after the closing of the Bridge Facility. The Company will pay commitment fees on the undrawn amount of this commitment ranging from 0.125% to 0.275% if based upon the Company’s debt rating, or 0.225% to 0.300% if based upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as applicable, determined in accordance with the Commitment Letter.
