2011 Acquisitions

On June 21, 2011, the Company acquired Helium, Inc. ("Helium"), an online community offering publishers, catalogers and other customers stock and custom content, as well as a comprehensive range of editorial solutions. As the Company previously held a 23.7% equity investment in Helium, the purchase price for the remaining equity of Helium was $57.0 million net of cash acquired of $0.1 million and included an amount due from Helium of $1.1 million. The fair value of the Company's previously held equity investment was $12.8 million, resulting in the recognition of a $10.0 million gain, which is reflected in investment and other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the previously held equity investment was determined based on the purchase price paid for the remaining equity less an estimated control premium and was determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. Other than this gain, the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were not impacted by this acquisition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. Helium's operations are included in the U.S. Print and Related Services segment.

On March 24, 2011, the Company acquired Journalism Online, LLC ("Journalism Online"), an online provider of tools that allow consumers to purchase online subscriptions from publishers. The purchase price for Journalism Online was $19.6 million net of cash acquired of $0.4 million. Journalism Online's operations are included in the U.S. Print and Related Services segment.

The operations of these acquired businesses are complementary to the Company's existing products and services. Journalism Online's Press+ offering provides subscription management and online content payment services that increase the breadth of services the Company offers to its existing base of publishing customers. The ability to bundle Helium's content development solutions with the Company's complete offering of content delivery resources addresses customers' needs across the full breadth of the supply chain.

The Journalism Online and Helium acquisitions were recorded by allocating the cost of the acquisitions to the assets acquired, including intangible assets, based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the acquisitions and the fair value of the previously-held investments in Helium over the net amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill related to Helium is not tax deductible. Based on the valuations, the final purchase price allocations for these 2011 acquisitions were as follows:

 

         

Accounts receivable

   $ 0.6   

Property, plant and equipment and other long-term assets

     3.3   

Amortizable intangible assets

     0.5

The fair values of property, plant and equipment, amortizable intangible assets and goodwill associated with the acquisitions of Journalism Online and Helium were determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy.

2010 Acquisitions

On December 31, 2010, the Company acquired the assets of 8touches, an online provider of tools that allow real estate associates, brokers, Multiple Listing Service (MLS) associations and other marketers to create customized communications materials. The purchase price for 8touches was $1.1 million. 8touches' operations are included in the U.S. Print and Related Services segment.

On December 14, 2010, the Company acquired the assets of Nimblefish Technologies ("Nimblefish"), a provider of multi-channel marketing services to leading retail, technology, telecom, hospitality and other customers. The purchase price for Nimblefish was $3.9 million, including debt assumed of $2.0 million. The Company subsequently repaid $1.9 million of the debt assumed in December 2010. Nimblefish's operations are included in the U.S. Print and Related Services segment.

On November 24, 2010, the Company acquired Bowne & Co., Inc. ("Bowne"), a provider of shareholder and marketing communication services, with operations in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia. The purchase price for Bowne was $465.2 million, including debt assumed of $26.2 million and net of cash acquired of $41.4 million. Immediately following the acquisition, the Company subsequently repaid $25.4 million of the debt assumed. Bowne's operations are included in both the U.S. Print and Related Services and International segments.

The operations of these acquired businesses are complementary to the Company's existing products and services. As a result, the additions of these businesses are expected to improve the Company's ability to serve customers and reduce management, real estate and manufacturing costs.
