On September 4, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of the North American business of Alcan Cable North America for $151.0 million, subject to additional customary adjustments of $20.3 million as anticipated in the purchase agreement, primarily related to estimated working capital levels at closing. The Company paid $171.3 million in cash to the sellers at closing in consideration for the North American business and expensed $3.3 million in fees and expenses related to the acquisition, reported within SG&A.
Alcan Cable North America employs over 750 employees in North America and is a leading supplier of aluminum strip products and a leading supplier of both electrical and mechanical rod alloys around the globe. The acquisition was completed to create synergies, expand the range of product offerings, increase production capacity and complement the Company's current investments in Mexico.

(1) Accounts receivable is gross contractual value. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of accounts receivable approximated carrying value.

The resulting goodwill is amortizable for tax purposes.

On October 1, 2012, the Company participated in a share subscription for 60% of the outstanding and issued shares of Procables . The existing shareholders immediately prior to the subscription (the “Sellers” or “Minority Shareholders”) maintained control of the remaining 40% of the shares. The Company contributed $27.4 million to Procables in exchange for its 60% ownership interest. Procables used $24.0 million of the proceeds from the subscription to reduce its then existing debt of $48.1 million. The Company and the Minority Shareholders also agreed to certain put and call options with regard to the remaining 40% interest in Procables retained by the Minority Shareholders. For a 36-month period commencing on the fifth anniversary of the closing date, the Minority Shareholders may exercise a put option to sell their entire 40% interest in Procables to the Company.

In addition, the Company has a call option (the "Call Option") to purchase the Minority Shareholders’ 40% interest in Procables, during the 36-month period commencing on the expiration of the Put Option period. The consideration to be exchanged, per share in the event of a Put Option or Call Option shall be the higher of the following (1) the final per share purchase price; or (2) a price per Share based on the Company's enterprise value equal to seven times the average of its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) over the two most recently audited year-end financial statements immediately prior to the option being exercised, minus the 12-month average Net Indebtedness of the Company for the most recent audited fiscal year (“EBITDA average”). Refer to Note 15 - Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest for details of the put and call option. The Company expensed $0.6 million in fees and expenses related to the acquisition, reported within SG&A.
