On June 6, 2012, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of DynaSys S.A. ("DynaSys"), a provider of supply chain planning software solutions. DynaSys was founded in 1985 and is headquartered in Strasbourg, France. The total purchase price of $7.5 million was paid in cash on June 6, 2012. In connection with the acquisition, the Company placed $0.6 million of the purchase price into escrow to satisfy any claims for indemnification made in accordance with the terms of the stock purchase agreement. Any remaining funds will be disbursed to DynaSys' former shareholders six months after the acquisition date. The Company completed the acquisition for the purpose of expanding its product offerings and driving revenue growth.

The Company has evaluated and continues to evaluate pre-acquisition contingencies relating to DynaSys that existed as of the acquisition date. The Company has preliminarily determined that certain of these pre-acquisition contingencies are probable in nature and estimable as of the acquisition date and, accordingly, has recorded its best estimates for these contingencies as a part of the purchase price allocation. The Company continues to gather information and evaluate pre-acquisition contingencies that it has assumed. If the Company makes changes to the amounts recorded or identifies additional pre-acquisition contingencies during the remainder of the measurement period, such amounts recorded will be included in the purchase price allocation.

The results of DynaSys operations are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. The acquisition was not deemed material, thus pro forma supplemental information has not been provided.
