On September 23, 2015, Autodesk entered into a share purchase agreement with FIT AG (“FIT”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of netfabb GmbH (“netfabb”) for €39.6 million (approximately $42.5 million) cash consideration.  Autodesk simultaneously entered into an investment agreement with FIT for Autodesk to invest €25.5 million (approximately $27.4 million) cash to acquire an equity interest in FIT.  The netfabb acquisition and FIT investment transactions closed on November 12, 2015. netfabb is a Germany-based provider of industrial grade additive manufacturing software solutions supporting most major 3D printers.  FIT is a German-based provider of rapid prototyping and additive design and manufacturing services.  netfabb will be integrated into, and the related goodwill will be assigned to, Autodesk’s PSEB segment. The initial accounting for this acquisition was not complete as of December 9, 2015, due to the timing of the acquisition. Autodesk used its non-U.S.-based cash for the transaction.
