3.              Business Acquisitions

 

Over the past two years we completed two significant business acquisitions in alignment with our long-term value creation strategy.  We completed the acquisition of K-Tron on April 1, 2010, for an aggregate purchase price of $435.2.  This resulted in a net cash purchase price of $369.0 when adjusted for cash acquired and debt assumed.  We utilized $375.0 of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand to finance the acquisition.  We completed the final purchase price allocation as of April 1, 2011, which reduced goodwill and adjusted net deferred taxes and other liabilities by $4.8.  We believe the acquisition of K-Tron provides several compelling benefits to us, including: attractive product, industry, and customer diversification; a sizable new global platform within the bulk solids material handling industry; preservation of our high quality of earnings and cash flows; improvement of our growth potential; meaningful opportunities to improve K-Tron’s financial performance through the application of lean business; and a strong cultural fit for us with a proven management team.

 

We completed the acquisition of Rotex on August 31, 2011, for a purchase price of $240.0 plus a preliminary closing cash estimate of $8.1.  This resulted in a cash purchase price of $240.4 when adjusted for cash acquired.  We utilized $159.0 of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand to finance the acquisition.  We believe that the acquisition of Rotex will complement the Process Equipment Group platform that began with the K-Tron acquisition, while giving us additional reach into new high-growth applications and geographies.
