Acquisitions

Marazzi Acquisition

On December 20, 2012, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with LuxELIT S.á r.l., a Luxembourg limited liability company, and Finceramica S.p.A., an Italian corporation (collectively, “Sellers”), to acquire the shares of Fintiles S.p.A., an Italian corporation ("Marazzi"). On April 3, 2013, pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the acquisition of Marazzi for an enterprise value of $1,522,731, including acquired indebtedness. The Marazzi results are reflected in the Ceramic segment.

The equity value of Marazzi was paid to the Sellers in cash and in the Company's common stock (the “Shares”). The number of Shares transferred as part of the consideration was calculated using the average closing price for the Company's common stock over a 30-day trading period ending March 19, 2013.

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company (i) acquired the entire issued share capital of Marazzi and (ii) assumed $901,773 of indebtedness of Marazzi, in exchange for the following consideration:


•	A cash payment of $307,052; and


•	2,874 newly issued Shares for a value of $313,906.

The Company funded the cash portion of the Marazzi acquisition through a combination of proceeds from the 3.85% Senior Notes (as discussed in Note 16), cash on hand and borrowings under the 2011 Senior Credit Facility. The Company incurred $15,660 of direct transaction costs, of which $14,199 were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses and $1,461 were recorded in other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company did not record any transaction costs during the three months ended March 30, 2013.

The Marazzi acquisition makes the Company a global leader in ceramic tile. The addition of Marazzi will allow the Company to expand its U.S. distribution, source ceramic tile from a worldwide base, and provide industry leading innovation and design to all of its global ceramic customers. The acquisition will provide opportunities to improve performance by leveraging best practices, operational expertise, product innovation and manufacturing assets across the enterprise.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the aggregate purchase price of the Marazzi acquisition to the estimated fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed:



Enterprise value	$	1,522,731
Assumed indebtedness	(901,773		)
Consideration transferred	$	620,958

Working capital	$	428,624
Property, plant and equipment, net	773,594
Tradenames	215,357

Other long-term liabilities	(70,090		)
Deferred tax liability	(135,455		)
Noncontrolling interest	(6,208		)
Consideration transferred	$	620,958

Intangible assets subject to amortization of $21,792 related to customer relationships have an estimated average life of 10 years. In addition to the amortizable intangible assets, there is an additional $215,357 in indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets. The goodwill of $276,586 was allocated to the Ceramic segment. The factors contributing to the recognition of the amount of goodwill are based on several strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the Marazzi acquisition. These benefits include opportunities to improve the Company's ceramic performance by leveraging best practices, operational expertise, product innovation and manufacturing assets across the segment. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The fair value of inventories acquired included a step-up in the value of inventories of approximately $31,041 which was charged to cost of sales in the year ended December 31, 2013.

In connection with the acquisition of Marazzi, the Company became a party to an off-balance sheet accounts receivable securitization facility ("Marazzi Securitization Facility") pursuant to which the Company services receivables sold to a third party. As of March 29, 2014, the amount utilized under the Marazzi Securitization Facility was €5,534. The Company is in the process of terminating this facility.
