14. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DIVESTITURES

We completed no acquisitions during the three months ended December 31, 2021. We completed four acquisitions in fiscal year 2021 for total aggregate cash consideration of $92,462. In November 2020, we acquired both Wedlake Fabricating, Inc., a Tulsa, Oklahoma-based manufacturer of custom generator enclosures that are primarily used by data centers and large commercial and industrial facilities, and K.E.P. Electric, Inc., a Batavia, Ohio-based electrical contractor specializing in the design and installation of electrical systems for single-family housing and multi-family developments. In December 2020, we acquired an 80% interest in Bayonet Plumbing, Heating & Air-Conditioning, LLC, a Hudson, Florida-based provider of residential heating, ventilation and air

conditioning ("HVAC") and plumbing installation and maintenance services. In May 2021, we acquired an 80% ownership interest in Edmonson Electric, LLC, a Land O'Lakes, Florida-based provider of residential electric, low voltage, and HVAC installation services.In addition to the cash consideration, the purchase price included contingent consideration with respect to the acquisition of Bayonet of up to $4,500 due in December 2023. Amounts to be paid are contingent on earnings achieved over a three year period, and will accrue interest on the $4,500 at a rate of 3%, to be paid quarterly. This contingent liability was valued at $4,074 as of the date of the acquisition.
