On July 2, 2015, the Company entered into, and consummated the acquisition contemplated by, an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company's subsidiary, Gunite Corporation ("Buyer"), acquired certain technologies and patents of Century-3 Plus, L.L.C. ("Seller"), a designer and manufacturer of brake components for the military and commercial vehicles for $2.0 million cash paid at closing and $8.0 million in contingent consideration.  The contingent consideration maximum of $8.0 million can be earned based on the achievement of certain technological and commercial milestones, as defined in the Agreement.  The transaction has been recorded as $0.1 million in property, plant, and equipment, and $1.9 million as intangible assets, primarily technology. This purchase is consistent with the Company's strategy of enhancing and expanding its core wheel-end product line.
