Acquisition and Divestiture Activity

Acquisition of Foxpak Flexibles Ltd.

On February 2, 2022, SEE acquired Foxpak Flexibles Ltd. (“Foxpak”), a privately-owned Irish packaging solutions company. Foxpak is a digital printing pioneer that partners with brands to deliver highly decorated packaging solutions; stand-up and spout pouches, and sachets that serve a variety of markets including food retail, pet food, seafood, and snacks. This transaction resulted in a purchase price paid of $9.1 million. The Company allocated the consideration transferred to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting in an allocation to goodwill of $5.0 million and $2.5 million to identifiable intangible

assets. The acquisition is included in our Food reporting segment. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. A deferred tax liability of $0.3 million on identifiable intangible assets was recorded on the opening balance sheet.

Divestiture of Reflectix, Inc.

On November 1, 2021, the Company completed the sale of Reflectix, Inc. (“Reflectix”), a wholly-owned subsidiary that sells branded reflective insulation solutions, with operations located in Markleville, Indiana. The decision to sell this business was consistent with the Company's overall strategic priorities focused on packaging solutions. Reflectix was previously included within the Protective reporting segment.

The disposal does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results and therefore did not qualify as a discontinued operation.

The selling price of the business was $82.5 million, paid in cash during the fourth quarter 2021. We recorded a $45.3 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the business, within Gain (Loss) on sale of businesses and property and equipment on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. The business had a net carrying value of $35.8 million, which included inventory of $6.8 million, trade receivables of $6.6 million, property and equipment of $1.0 million, and goodwill of $23.2 million. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The assets were partially offset by accrued liabilities which were individually immaterial. We recorded $17.3 million in tax expense related to the gain from the sale of Reflectix within Income tax provision on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The sales price is subject to final and customary purchase price true-ups. We maintain no on-going investment or relationship that would result in the sold business becoming a related party.
