2.	Subsequent Event

On December 31, 2012, we completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of all of the outstanding share capital of Ismeca Semiconductor Holding SA (“Ismeca”) from Schweiter Technologies AG (the “Seller”) pursuant to a Share Purchase and Transfer Agreement dated December 9, 2012, by and between the Seller and a wholly owned subsidiary of Cohu (the “Purchase Agreement”). Ismeca, headquartered in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, and with major operations in Malacca, Malaysia and Suzhou, China, designs, manufactures and sells turret-based test handling and back-end finishing equipment for ICs, LEDs and discrete components. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $57.1 million, comprised of an initial purchase price of $54.5 million, increased by approximately $2.6 million based on net cash and net debt acquired, as required by the Purchase Agreement. In connection with the Acquisition, we incurred approximately $2.3 million in acquisition related costs, which were expensed as general and administrative costs during the year ended December 29, 2012.

Due to the timing of the closing of the Acquisition we are currently in the process of completing the purchase accounting and related allocations. Although this work is preliminary, at this time we anticipate that a significant portion of the purchase price will be allocated to goodwill and purchased intangible assets and we expect this work to be completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.
