Acquisition and Disposition of Businesses

On November 7, 2017, the Operating Partnership acquired the propane assets and operations of a propane retailer headquartered in California for $4,871, including $750 for non-compete consideration, plus working capital acquired.  As of December 30, 2017, $4,051 was paid and the remainder of the purchase price will be funded in accordance with the terms of the asset purchase and non-compete agreements.  The acquisition was consummated pursuant to the Partnership’s strategic growth initiatives.  The purchase price allocation and results of operations the acquired business were not material to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial position and statement of operations.

On December 8, 2017, the Operating Partnership sold certain assets and operations in a non-strategic market of its propane segment for $2,800, plus working capital consideration, resulting in a loss of $4,823 that was recognized during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, principally for the allocated goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets associated with this business.  The corresponding net assets and results of operations were not material to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
