Acquisitions

On March 2, 2022, as part of our Consumer Solutions reporting segment, we entered into a definitive agreement with Welbilt, Inc. (“Welbilt”) to acquire the issued and outstanding equity securities of certain subsidiaries of Welbilt and certain other assets, rights, and properties, and assume certain liabilities, comprising Welbilt’s Manitowoc Ice business (“Manitowoc Ice”), for an aggregate purchase price of $1.6 billion, subject to customary adjustments contemplated by the definitive agreement. We expect to fund the purchase price for the acquisition with new debt that we anticipate to be investment grade, including the Term Loan Facility (as defined below). We expect to close our Manitowoc Ice acquisition in the second or third quarter of 2022, subject to customary closing conditions and necessary regulatory approvals.

In October 2021, as part of both of our Consumer Solutions and Industrial & Flow Technologies reporting segments, we completed the acquisition of Pleatco Holdings, LLC and related entities for $256.9 million in cash, net of cash acquired and working capital true-ups. The excess of purchase price over tangible net assets acquired has been preliminarily allocated to goodwill in the amount of $139.5 million, $137.5 million of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Identifiable intangible assets acquired consisted of $97.9 million of definite-lived customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 17 years.

In May 2021, as part of our Consumer Solutions reporting segment, we completed the acquisition of Ken’s Beverage, Inc. for $82.2 million in cash, net of cash acquired and working capital true-ups. The excess of purchase price over tangible net assets acquired has been preliminarily allocated to goodwill in the amount of $28.3 million, all of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Identifiable intangible assets acquired consisted of $38.0 million of definite-lived customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 22 years.

The pro forma impact of these acquisitions is not material.
