Acquisition

3. Acquisition

On May 17, 2013, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Re-Involt Technologies, LLC, a remanufacturer of hybrid battery systems, primarily to expand our product portfolio. The purchase price was approximately $3.7 million, comprised of $1.9 million in cash and $1.8 million of estimated contingent payments to the former owner. The contingent payment arrangement is based upon future earnings levels of the acquired business. In December 2014, we reduced our liability for the contingent payment arrangement by $1.0 million based upon our estimates of future earnings. In connection with this acquisition, we recorded $3.6 million in goodwill and other intangible assets, all of which we expect to be deductible for tax purposes. The financial results of the acquired business have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements since the acquisition date.
