On October 28, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Western Pacific Enterprises GP and of Western Pacific Enterprises Ltd., except for certain real estate owned by Western Pacific Enterprises Ltd., which conducted business as Western Pacific Enterprises GP (“WPE”), an electrical contracting firm in western Canada. Headquartered in Coquitlam, British Columbia, WPE will provide a wide range of commercial and industrial electrical construction capabilities under the Company’s C&I segment. WPE will also provide substation construction capabilities under the Company’s T&D segment. The total consideration paid was approximately $16.1 million CDN, subject to working capital adjustments, which was funded through borrowings on the 2016 Facility. Additionally, there could also be contingent payments based on the successful achievement of certain performance targets and continued employment of certain key executives of WPE. These payments will be recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income as earned over the period achievement becomes probable. As this transaction was effective on October 28, 2016, the results of WPE will be included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on such date. The Company does not expect WPE's revenues or profits to be material to the Company's 2016 operating results. Approximately $0.1 million of acquisition-related costs associated with this acquisition were expensed by the Company in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
