In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, we acquired Bay Bread, LLC and its La Boulange® bakery brand (collectively “La Boulange”), to elevate our core food offerings and build a premium, artisanal bakery brand. We acquired La Boulange for a purchase price of $100 million in cash. Because of the timing of when this acquisition closed, the initial accounting for this acquisition is still in process, including determining the fair value of the net assets acquired. La Boulange is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Starbucks Corporation.
