("Total") through the acquisition of certain of Total's subsidiaries for a Euro purchase price of approximately €200 (approximately $275), subject to certain adjustments (the "Acquisition").

Mapa Spontex is a global manufacturer and distributor of primarily baby care and home care products with leading market positions in Argentina, Brazil and Europe in the core categories it serves. Its baby care portfolio includes feeding bottles, soothers, teats and other infant accessories sold primarily under the Fiona^®, First Essentials^®, Lillo^®, NUK^® and Tigex^® brands; and health care products, including condoms sold under the Billy Boy^® brand. Its home care portfolio includes sponges, rubber gloves and related cleaning products for industrial, professional and retail uses sold primarily under the Mapa^® and Spontex^® brands. The Acquisition is expected to expand the Company's product offerings and distribution channels into new, attractive categories and further diversify revenue streams and increase the Company's international presence. The Acquisition is consistent with the Company's strategy of purchasing leading, niche consumer-oriented brands with attractive cash flows and strong management. Mapa Spontex is reported in the Company's Branded Consumables segment and is included in the Company's results of operations from April 1, 2010 (the "Acquisition Date"). The Company's 2010 consolidated statement of operations includes approximately $539 of net sales and approximately $31 of operating earnings related to Mapa Spontex. Based on the Company's independent valuation of Mapa Spontex, the Company allocated the total purchase price, net of cash acquired, to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the Acquisition Date. Based on the purchase price allocation, net of cash acquired, the Company allocated approximately $9 of the purchase price to identified tangible net assets and approximately $107 of the purchase price to identified intangible assets. The Company recorded the excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair values of approximately $129 as goodwill. In addition, the Company completed three tuck-in acquisitions during 2010. On October 1, 2010, the Company acquired Aero Products International, Inc. ("Aero"), a leading provider of premium, air-filled mattresses under brand names including Aero^®, Aerobed^® and Aero Sport^®. The acquisition of Aero is expected to expand distribution channels, as well as expand the Company's current Coleman product offerings of indoor and outdoor air beds and accessories. Aero is reported in the Company's Outdoor Solutions segment and is included in the Company's results of operations from October 1, 2010. On December 17, 2010, the Company acquired Quickie Manufacturing Corporation ("Quickie"), a leading supplier and distributor of innovative cleaning tools and supplies. Quickie designs, manufactures and distributes cleaning products including mops, brooms, dusters, dust pans, brushes, buckets and other supplies, for traditional in-home use, as well as commercial and contractor-grade applications sold primarily under the leading brands Quickie Original^®, Quickie Home-Pro^®, Quickie Professional^®, Quickie Microban^® and Quickie Green Cleaning^®. The Quickie acquisition complements the Mapa Spontex acquisition by combining Quickie's leading domestic position in household stick and smallware cleaning supplies with Mapa Spontex's leading international position in gloves and sponges and provides the Company with a complete product line in conventional cleaning supplies to offer our retailers both domestically and internationally. Quickie is reported in the Company's Branded Consumables segment and is included in the Company's results of operations from December 17, 2010. Additionally, during 2010, the Company completed another tuck-in acquisition. All three tuck-in acquisitions were complementary to the Company's core businesses and from an accounting standpoint were not significant. The combined cash purchase price, net of cash acquired, for the Aero and Quickie acquisitions was approximately $270, subject to certain adjustments. Based on the Company's independent valuations for Aero and Quickie, the Company allocated the total purchase price for these acquisitions, net of cash acquired, to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the respective acquisition dates. Based on these purchase price allocations, the Company allocated approximately $10 of the purchase price to identified tangible net liabilities and approximately $161 of the purchase price to identified intangible assets.
