On February 6, 2014, Autodesk acquired the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Delcam plc (“Delcam”), for £20.75 per share, or approximately £174.6 million or $284.6 million. Delcam was previously listed as a public company (LON: DLC) and is a leading supplier of advanced CADCAM and industrial measurement solutions for the manufacturing industry. With this transaction Autodesk gains Delcam’s range of design, manufacturing and inspection software that provide automated CADCAM solutions for a variety of industries, ranging from aerospace to toys and sports equipment. The transaction was structured as a cash offer for all the outstanding shares of Delcam, and Delcam will be integrated into Autodesk's Manufacturing reportable segment. The initial accounting for this acquisition was not complete as of March 10, 2014, due to the timing of the acquisition.
