2. ACQUISITIONS

TCI 

On December 6, 2018, the Company entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with TCI, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“TCI”), and the members of TCI (“Sellers”), pursuant to which Allied Motion acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common units of TCI from Sellers (the “Acquisition”) in a transaction valued at $64,100.  The Acquisition consideration is subject to adjustments based on a determination of closing net working capital, cash, indebtedness and other TCI liabilities. A portion of the Acquisition consideration was placed in escrow to secure payment of any post-closing adjustments to the purchase price and to secure the Sellers’ indemnification obligations to Allied Motion. Cash consideration was funded from borrowings on the Company’s existing credit facilities.

The TCI acquisition broadens and strengthens the Company’s position as a leading global diversified solutions provider in the controlled motion market.  TCI has adjacent technologies and capabilities that enable more efficient and longer life solutions for motion devices in a wide variety of demanding applications.  TCI’s technology and products are expected to be a valuable addition to the Company’s expanding suite of solution offerings.

The Company incurred $413 of transaction costs related to the acquisition of TCI.  Transaction costs are included in business development expenses on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.  The Company accounted for the acquisition pursuant to ASC 805, “Business Combinations.”  The preliminary allocation of the purchase price paid for TCI is based on estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of TCI as of December 6, 2018 (in thousands):

Net purchase price

 

$

The purchase price excluded any cash on hand and any debt of TCI. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary as the valuation of both the tangible and identifiable intangible assets is being finalized.

The intangible assets acquired consist of customer lists, technology and a trade name, which are being amortized over 16,  15 and 19 years, respectively.  Goodwill generated in the acquisition is related to the assembled workforce, synergies between Allied Motion’s other TUs and TCI that are expected to occur as a result of the combined engineering knowledge, the ability of each of the TUs to integrate each other’s products into more fully integrated system solutions and Allied Motion’s ability to utilize TCI’s management knowledge in providing complementary product offerings to the Company’s customers.

The goodwill resulting from the TCI acquisition is tax deductible.

Maval OE Steering
