2016 Acquisitions
In the first quarter of 2016, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire from certain ExxonMobil affiliates their aviation fueling operations at more than 80 airport locations in Canada, the U.K., Germany, Italy, France, Australia and New Zealand. The total purchase price is approximately $260.0 million and is expected to be fully funded with cash on hand. On November 1, 2016, we completed the acquisition of the Canada locations and certain France locations. On December 1, 2016, we completed the acquisition of the U.K. locations and the remaining France locations. The remaining locations are expected to be completed during the first half of 2017. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory consents and closing conditions, including securing third party consents.
On July 1, 2016, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of PAPCO and APP. PAPCO, headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia and APP, headquartered in Tacoma, Washington are leading distributors of gasoline, diesel, lubricants, propane and related services in the Mid-Atlantic and the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, respectively. These acquisitions combined with the Company’s existing land segment operations, will serve to further enhance our commercial and industrial platforms to deliver value-added solutions to customers across the United States.
In addition to the above acquisitions, we completed six acquisitions in our land segment in 2016 which were not significant individually or in the aggregate.
The following reconciles the estimated aggregate purchase price for the 2016 acquisitions to the cash paid for the acquisitions, net of cash acquired (in millions):

The following table summarizes the aggregate consideration paid for all 2016 acquisitions and the provisional amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date. The Company is in the process of finalizing the valuations of certain acquired assets and assumed liabilities; thus, the provisional measurements of these acquired assets and assumed liabilities are subject to change and will be finalized no later than one year from the acquisition date. The estimated purchase price allocation for the 2016 acquisitions is as follows (in millions):

In connection with the 2016 acquisitions, we recorded goodwill of $173.3 million of which $133.4 million is anticipated to be deductible for tax purposes. All of the goodwill is attributable primarily to the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of the acquired businesses with the operations of World Fuel Services' land and aviation segments. The identifiable intangible assets consisted of $105.1 million of customer relationships and $3.9 million of other identifiable intangible assets with weighted average lives of 5.6 years and 2.1 years, respectively, as well as $9.5 million of indefinite-lived trademark/trade name rights.

On June 23, 2016, we acquired the remaining 49% of the outstanding equity interest of Tobras from the minority owners for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.7 million in cash (the “Tobras Acquisition”).  Prior to the Tobras Acquisition, we owned 51% of the outstanding shares of Tobras and exercised control, and as such, we consolidated Tobras in our financial statements. As a result of the acquisition of the remaining equity interest of Tobras, we recorded a $10.9 million adjustment to capital in excess of par value on our consolidated balance sheets, which consisted of $3.7 million of cash paid and $7.2 million of non-controlling interest equity.

2015 Acquisitions
On September 1, 2015, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Pester, a leading distributor, transporter, and blender of branded motor fuels and lubricants to wholesale, industrial, commercial and agricultural customers. Pester is headquartered in Denver, Colorado and is also a leading operator of retail convenience stores in the Rocky Mountain region. In connection with the Pester acquisition, we committed to a plan to sell certain assets and liabilities of Pester’s fuel retail business. The assets and liabilities of the business were presented separately as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 Current assets held for sale of the disposal group, which includes inventories and other current assets, were $5.5 million. The non-current assets held for sale, which include property and equipment, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, were $36.5 million. Goodwill was subsequently adjusted from $5.9 million to $2.9 million within the one year purchase price allocation period. Current liabilities held for sale, which includes accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, were $5.6 million.  Non-current liabilities held for sale, comprised of deferred tax liabilities, were $5.0 million. These net assets were reported as part of our land segment. On May 1, 2016, we completed the sale of Pester's retail business for $32.3 million, resulting in a gain of $3.8 million, which is included in other income, net in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.
In addition to the above acquisition, in 2015 we completed three acquisitions in our land segment and one acquisition in our aviation segment which were not material individually or in the aggregate.
