3.Acquisitions

On December 1, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of AERCO in a share purchase transaction. The aggregate purchase price was $271.5 million and was financed from a borrowing under the Company’s Credit Agreement. During the second quarter of 2015, the working capital adjustment was finalized resulting in a $0.7 million reduction in the final purchase price.

The Company accounted for the transaction as a business combination. The Company completed a purchase price allocation that resulted in the recognition of $173.3 million in goodwill and $102.4 million in intangible assets. The goodwill balance was reduced during the second quarter of 2015 primarily related to the finalization of the working capital adjustment. Intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships valued at $78.5 million with estimated lives of 16 years, developed technology valued at $15.8 million with estimated lives of 10 years and trade name valued at $7.4 million with a 20 year life. The goodwill is attributable to the workforce of AERCO and the strategic platform adjacency that will allow the Company to extend its product offerings as a result of the acquisition. Approximately $19.4 million of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The following table summarizes the value of the assets and liabilities acquired (in millions):
