2. Acquisitions and Dispositions

On March 25, 2014, the Company acquired substantially all of the North American operations of Esselte Corporation (“Esselte”), a developer and manufacturer of nationally branded and private label office and stationery products. The acquisition, combined with the Company’s existing products, created a more competitive and efficient office products supplier capable of supplying enhanced offerings across the combined customer base. The purchase price for Esselte included $78.2 million in cash, 1.0 million shares of RR Donnelley common stock and a $2.8 million payable related to the settlement of net working capital, or a total transaction value of $99.3 million based on the Company’s closing share price on March 24, 2014. Esselte’s operations are included in the Variable Print segment.

On March 10, 2014, the Company acquired the assets of MultiCorpora R&D Inc. and MultiCorpora International Inc. (together “MultiCorpora”) for approximately $6.1 million. MultiCorpora is an international provider of translation technology solutions. The acquisition of MultiCorpora expanded the capabilities of the Company’s translation services offering which supports clients’ multi-lingual communications. MultiCorpora’s operations are included in the Strategic Services segment.

On January 31, 2014, the Company acquired Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (“Consolidated Graphics”), a provider of digital and commercial printing, fulfillment services, print management and proprietary Internet-based technology solutions, with operations in North America, Europe and Asia. The acquisition enhanced the Company’s ability to provide integrated communications solutions for its customers. The purchase price for Consolidated Graphics was $359.9 million in cash and 16.0 million shares of RR Donnelley common stock, or a total transaction value of $660.6 million based on the Company’s closing share price on January 30, 2014, plus the assumption of Consolidated Graphics’ debt of $118.4 million. Immediately following the acquisition, the Company repaid substantially all of the debt assumed. Consolidated Graphics’ operations are primarily included in the Variable Print segment. In the second quarter of 2014, Consolidated Graphics’ operations in the Czech Republic and Japan were moved from the Variable Print segment to the Europe and Asia reporting units, respectively, within the International segment to reflect corresponding changes in the management reporting structure of the organization.

On February 7, 2014, the Company sold the assets and liabilities of Office Tiger Global Real Estate Service Inc. (“GRES”), its commercial and residential real estate advisory services, for net proceeds of $2.3 million and a loss of $0.7 million, which was recognized in net investment and other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The operations of the GRES business were included in the International segment.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded $0.5 million and $8.2 million of acquisition-related expenses, respectively, associated with acquisitions completed or contemplated, within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Esselte, MultiCorpora and Consolidated Graphics acquisitions were recorded by allocating the cost of the acquisitions to the assets acquired, including other intangible assets, based on their estimated fair values at the applicable acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the acquisitions over the net amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill associated with these acquisitions is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise as a result of the acquisitions.

For Esselte, the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired of approximately $109.8 million exceeded the purchase price of $99.3 million, resulting in a bargain purchase gain of $10.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which was recorded in net investment and other expense. A $6.1 million reduction in this gain, primarily due to a change in estimate of certain tax attributes and working capital adjustments, was recognized as a loss during the three months ended June 30, 2014 as a result of finalizing the purchase price allocation. The gain on the bargain purchase was primarily attributable to the Company’s ability to utilize certain tax operating losses.

The tax deductible goodwill related to the Consolidated Graphics, Esselte and MultiCorpora acquisitions was $74.1 million.

Based on the valuations, the final purchase price allocations for these acquisitions were as follows:

Accounts receivable	$	241.4
Inventories		89.6
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		16.3
Property, plant and equipment		335.0
Other intangible assets		204.9
Other noncurrent assets		11.9
Goodwill		300.2
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(217.4	)
Other noncurrent liabilities		(57.5	)
Deferred taxes-net		(97.5	)
Total purchase price-net of cash acquired		826.9
Less: debt assumed		118.4
Less: value of common stock issued		319.0
Less: gain on bargain purchase		10.5
Less: amount due for net working capital settlement		2.8
Net cash paid	$	376.2

The fair values of other intangible assets, technology and goodwill associated with the acquisitions of Esselte, MultiCorpora and Consolidated Graphics were determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the fair value, valuation techniques and related unobservable inputs for these Level 3 measurements:

	Fair Value		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Range
Customer relationships	$	178.1	Excess earnings	Discount rate Attrition rate	17.0% - 21.0% 5.0% - 9.5%

Trade names		26.5	Relief-from-royalty method	Discount rate Royalty rate (after-tax)	19.0% 0.5% - 1.5%

Technology		1.1	Excess earnings	Discount rate		17.0%

The fair values of property, plant and equipment associated with the Consolidated Graphics, Esselte, and MultiCorpora acquisitions were determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. Property, plant and equipment values were estimated using either the cost or market approach, if a secondhand market existed.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company sold the assets and liabilities of R.R. Donnelley SAS (“MRM France”), its direct mail business located in Cosne sur Loire, France, for a loss of $17.9 million, which was recognized in net investment and other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
