On November 7, 2008 we acquired all the outstanding shares of Bill Me Later, Inc. (Bill Me Later) for a total purchase price of approximately $914.6 million. The purchase price consisted of cash totaling $817.0 million, $9.9 million in estimated acquisition-related expenses and the assumption of Bill Me Later’s outstanding common stock options, valued at approximately $87.7 million. The fair value of Bill Me Later’s stock options assumed was determined using a Black-Scholes model. Bill Me Later is a payments solution company that provides transactional credit at the point of sale for ecommerce transactions and is included in our Payments segment. Bill Me Later’s service combines authentication, credit origination, funding, fulfillment, settlement, reporting and customer care into a single managed solution integrated into a merchant’s existing payment platform. The rationale for acquiring Bill Me Later is to enhance our leadership position in online payment solutions.
 
The purchase price was allocated to the tangible assets and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired is determined using the income approach, which discounts expected future cash flows to present value using estimates and assumptions determined by management. Purchased identifiable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective useful lives. Our preliminary allocation of the purchase price is summarized below (in thousands):
