Acquisition

On March 9, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of certain net assets and the natural color business of GlobeNatural, a natural food and ingredient company based in Lima, Peru. The Company paid $10.5 million of cash for this acquisition. GlobeNatural operations are included in the Color segment. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price exceeded the carrying value of the net assets by approximately $8.4 million. The excess was allocated to intangible assets, principally goodwill. The Company is in the process of quantifying the identifiable intangible assets and anticipates completing this analysis in the third quarter of 2018.  During the current quarter, the Company also purchased the assets of a business for an immaterial amount, which is included in the Flavors & Fragrances segment.
