The purchase price of the acquisition was $84.8 million. We recorded goodwill of $70.7 million attributable to the assembled workforce with the technical expertise in designing, engineering, and manufacturing medium voltage drive products and served market expansion. We assigned the full amount of goodwill to our Control Products & Solutions segment. None of the goodwill recorded is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
