Acquisitions
The Company completed two acquisitions during the first six months of 2013.
During June 2013, Marsh acquired Rehder y Asociados Group, a leading insurance adviser in Peru. The business includes the insurance broker Rehder y Asociados and employee health and benefits specialist, Humanasalud. Marsh also completed the acquisitions of Franco & Acra Tecniseguros, the leading insurance advisor in the Dominican Republic.

Total purchase consideration for acquisitions made during the six months of 2013 was $109 million, which consisted of cash paid of $95 million and deferred purchase and estimated contingent consideration of $14 million. Contingent consideration arrangements are primarily based on EBITDA and revenue targets over two to four years. The fair value of the contingent consideration was based on projected revenue and earnings of the acquired entities. Estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to adjustment when purchase accounting is finalized. The Company also paid $3 million of deferred purchase consideration and $5 million of contingent consideration related to acquisitions made in prior years.

The following table presents the preliminary allocation of the acquisition cost to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed during 2013 based on their fair values:
