ACQUISITIONS

Kings and Balducci's

On January 23, 2021, the Company acquired 27 stores operated by Kings Food Markets and Balducci's Food Lovers Market ("Kings and Balducci's"). The purchase price was $98.1 million, and the transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price was allocated to the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities. Net assets acquired of $102.0 million primarily consisted of fixed assets, intangibles and inventory, valued at $41.0 million, $31.6 million and $18.1 million, respectively. Intangible assets acquired primarily consisted of tradenames. The Company recognized a bargain purchase gain of $3.9 million as the amount by which the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the purchase consideration paid. The bargain purchase was recognized as a gain within Selling and administrative expenses for fiscal 2020. The Company believes it was able to acquire the net assets for lower than fair value due to the financial condition of Kings and Balducci's which was in bankruptcy proceedings. Pro forma results are not presented as the acquisition was not considered material to the Company. Third-party acquisition-related costs were immaterial for fiscal 2020 and were expensed as incurred as a component of Selling and administrative expenses.
