ACQUISITIONS	NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS Since 2017, the Company has been undergoing a strategic business transformation to pivot into an integrated B2B distribution platform, with the objective of expanding its product offerings to include value-added services for its customers and capture greater market share. As part of this transformation, the Company has been acquiring businesses to expand its reach and distribution network into geographic areas that were previously underserved. During the first half of 2020, the Company acquired three small independent regional office supply distribution businesses. All three acquisitions were completed in the first quarter of 2020. The aggregate total purchase consideration, including contingent consideration, for the three acquisitions completed in the first half of 2020 was approximately $20 million, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments. The aggregate purchase price was primarily funded with cash on hand, with the remainder consisting of contingent consideration estimated to be $2 million, which will be paid in two installments in the second quarters of 2021 and 2022, respectively. The acquisitions were treated as purchases in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) which requires allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the transactions including goodwill and other intangible assets. The Company has performed a preliminary purchase price allocation of the aggregate purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the transactions, including $4 million of customer relationship intangible assets and $10 million of goodwill.

These assets and liabilities are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 27, 2020. As additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the dates of acquisition), the Company will refine its estimates of fair value to allocate the purchase price. The operating results of the acquired office supply distribution businesses are combined with the Company’s operating results subsequent to their purchase dates, and are included in the Business Solutions Division. Certain disclosures set forth under ASC 805, including supplemental pro forma financial information, are not disclosed because the operating results of the acquired businesses, individually and in the aggregate, are not material to the Company.

These adjustments were insignificant individually and in the aggregate to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The measurement periods for acquisitions completed in the first half of 2019 closed within the first half of 2020. Under the guidance on accounting for business combinations, merger and integration costs are not included as components of consideration transferred, instead, they are accounted for as expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

Since 2017, the Company has been undergoing a strategic business transformation to pivot into an integrated B2B distribution platform, with the objective of expanding its product offerings to include value-added services for its customers and capture greater market share. As part of this transformation, the Company has been acquiring businesses to expand its reach and distribution network into geographic areas that were previously underserved. During the first half of 2020, the Company acquired three small independent regional office supply distribution businesses. All three acquisitions were completed in the first quarter of 2020.

The aggregate total purchase consideration, including contingent consideration, for the three acquisitions completed in the first half of 2020 was approximately $20 million, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments.
