NOTE 17 – ACQUISITIONS

On July 26, 2018, the Company announced it has made a binding offer to acquire CSP Technologies S.à r.l. (“CSP Technologies”). Further information about this transaction can be found in Note 19 – Subsequent Events.

On May 1, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of Reboul, a French manufacturer specializing in stamping, decorating and assembling metal and plastic packaging for the cosmetics and luxury markets, for an initial purchase price of approximately $3.6 million (exclusive of $112 thousand of cash acquired) (the “Reboul Acquisition”). The results of Reboul’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements within our Beauty + Home segment since the date of acquisition. The Company is in the process of finalizing purchase accounting. As part of the Reboul Acquisition, we may be obligated to pay to the selling shareholders of Reboul certain contingent consideration based on 2018 EBITDA as defined in the purchase agreement. Based on projections as of acquisition date, we estimated the aggregate fair value for this contingent consideration arrangement to be zero.

In May 2018, the Company invested $10.0 million in preferred equity stock of Reciprocal Labs Corporation, doing business as Propeller Health, which is accounted for at cost, consistent with measurement alternative guidance described in Note 1 above. There were no indications of impairment nor were there any changes resulting from observable price changes noted in the three months ended June 30, 2018.

In February 2017, the Company acquired a 20% minority investment in Kali Care, Inc. (“Kali Care”) for $5.0 million. Kali Care is a Silicon Valley-based technology company that provides digital monitoring systems for ophthalmic medication. Kali Care’s sensing technology allows clinicians to collect real-time compliance data, and is a powerful tool for ophthalmologists in managing the care of their patients, and represents an additional investment into connected devices for our Pharma applications.  This investment is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting from the date of acquisition.
