BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Fiscal Year 2016

Middle East distributor: In February 2016, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of a medical device distributor in the Middle East for $19 million of total purchase consideration. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase business combination. The purchase price allocation, which includes customer relationship intangible assets of $7 million and goodwill of $5 million, is considered preliminary, largely with respect to certain tax-related assets and liabilities.

Fiscal Year 2015

Thoratec: The Company continues to evaluate information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the date Thoratec was acquired. As such, the purchase price allocation is considered preliminary, largely with respect to certain tax-related assets and liabilities and legal contingencies. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company did not recognize adjustments to provisional amounts.
