Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2014

On October 1, 2012, the Company participated in a share subscription for 60% of the outstanding and issued shares of Procables; refer to Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional details. The Company determined that the Put Option is embedded within the noncontrolling interest shares that are subject to the Put Option. The redemption feature requires classification of the Minority Shareholder's interest in the Consolidated Balance Sheets outside of equity under the caption “Redeemable noncontrolling interest.”

The redeemable noncontrolling interest of Procables was recorded on the acquisition date based on the estimated fair value of the shares including the embedded Put Option. The fair value of the Put Option was estimated at the higher of the final per share purchase price or EBITDA average. At December 31, 2014, the final per share purchase price was greater than the EBITDA average; therefore, the redeemable noncontrolling interest was valued at the same cost as the fair value determined at the opening balance sheet date subject to foreign currency translation. Subsequent adjustments to the value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest due to the redemption feature, if any, will be recognized as they occur and recorded within net income (loss).

The following is a rollforward of the redeemable noncontrolling interest (in millions):



Balance, December 31, 2012	$	18.6
Foreign currency translation	(1.6		)
Balance, December 31, 2013	$	17.0
Foreign currency translation	(3.2		)
Balance, December 31, 2014	$	13.8
