M2FX

We acquired 100% of the shares of M2FX Limited (M2FX) on January 7, 2016 for a preliminary purchase price of $18.9 million. Of the total purchase price, $3.3 million has been preliminarily deferred as estimated earn-out consideration. The estimated earn-out is scheduled to be paid in early 2017, if certain financial targets are achieved. We determined the estimated fair value of the earn-out with the assistance of a third party valuation specialist using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. M2FX is a manufacturer of fiber optic cable and fiber protective solutions for broadband access and telecommunications networks. M2FX is located in the United Kingdom. The results of M2FX have been included in our Consolidated Financial Statements from January 7, 2016, and are reported within the Broadcast segment. The M2FX acquisition was not material to our financial position or results of operations.
