mindSHIFT

In December 2011, we acquired 100% of mindSHIFT Technologies, Inc. ("mindSHIFT"), a managed service provider for small- and mid-sized companies, for $175 (or $168 net of cash acquired). The acquisition date was the close of business on December 28, 2011. We have consolidated mindSHIFT in our financial results as part of our Domestic segment from the date of acquisition. We expect the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities to be finalized in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Of the $175 final purchase price, $74 was allocated to customer relationships and $91 was allocated to goodwill, with the remaining $10 allocated primarily to working capital and property, plant and equipment. The customer relationships will be amortized over a weighted average period of 15 years. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

We entered into this transaction as mindSHIFT is the leading managed service provider for small and mid-sized business in the U.S. Coupled with our retail, Geek Squad services and Best Buy for Business operations, we anticipate that mindSHIFT will capture a greater share of the small-to-mid-sized managed service provider market.
