Fiscal 2011

LJVH Holdings, Inc. (including subsidiaries—Van Houtte)

On December 17, 2010, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of LJVH Holdings, Inc. ("LJVH" and together with its subsidiaries, "Van Houtte"), a coffee roaster headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, for $907.8 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition was financed with cash on hand and a $1,450.0 million credit facility. Van Houtte's functional currency is the Canadian dollar. Van Houtte's operations are included in the Canada segment.

At the time of the acquisition, the Company accounted for all the assets relating to the Filterfresh business as held-for-sale.

The Van Houtte acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The total purchase price of $907.8 million, net of cash acquired, was allocated to Van Houtte's net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of December 17, 2010. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired was determined primarily by using an income approach. The allocation of the purchase price is based upon a valuation determined using management's and the Company's estimates and assumptions. The table below represents the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired net assets of Van Houtte (in thousands):

The purchase price allocated to Filterfresh was the fair value, less the estimated direct costs to sell Filterfresh established at the acquisition date. The fair value of Filterfresh was estimated using an income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow ("DCF") method. Under the DCF method the fair value is calculated by discounting the projected after-tax cash flows for the business to present value. The income approach includes assumptions about the amount and timing of future cash flows using projections and other estimates. A discount rate based on an appropriate weighted average cost of capital was applied to the estimated future cash flows to estimate the fair value.

An income approach, specifically the DCF method, was used to value the noncontrolling interests.

Amortizable intangible assets acquired, valued at the date of acquisition, include approximately $263.1 million for customer relationships, $10.9 million for trademarks and trade names, $1.4 million for franchises and $0.3 million for technology. Indefinite-lived intangible assets acquired include approximately $99.4 million for the Van Houtte trademark which is not amortized. The definite lived intangible assets classified as held-for-sale were not amortized and approximated $19.5 million. Amortizable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives, and the weighted-average amortization period is 10.8 years.

The cost of the acquisition in excess of the fair market value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed represents acquired goodwill. The acquisition of Van Houtte provides the Company with an expanded Canadian presence and manufacturing and distribution synergies, which provide the basis of the goodwill recognized with respect to the Van Houtte Canadian operations. As discussed above, the purchase price allocated to Filterfresh was the fair value, less the estimated direct costs to sell Filterfresh established at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price (fair value) allocated to Filterfresh over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets represents goodwill. Goodwill and intangible assets are reported in the Canada segment. The goodwill and intangible assets recognized are not deductible for tax purposes.

Acquisition costs were expensed as incurred and totaled approximately $10.7 million for the fiscal year ended September 24, 2011 and are included in general and administrative expenses for the Company.

Approximately $9.3 million of the purchase price was held in escrow at September 29, 2012 and was included in restricted cash. A corresponding amount of $9.3 million was included in other current liabilities as of September 29, 2012. None of the purchase price remained in escrow as of September 28, 2013, and therefore, there were no corresponding amounts included in other current liabilities.

The acquisition was completed on December 17, 2010 and accordingly results of operations from such date have been included in the Company's Statement of Operations. For fiscal 2011, the Van Houtte operations contributed an additional $321.4 million of consolidated revenue and $20.2 million of income before income taxes.
