On May 27, 2011, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired the convenience store distribution assets of L.P. Shanks Company Inc. (“LPS”).  LPS was a wholesale distributor to convenience stores in Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina with annual sales of approximately $200 million. In exchange for certain accounts receivable, inventory, fixed assets, and customer lists of LPS, the Company paid $13.4 million in cash, issued a $2.6 million note payable  to the seller due in quarterly installments over three years bearing interest at 4% annually, and will pay $0.5 million in quarterly installments over five years related to a non-competition agreement with the seller. The Company also entered into warehouse leases with the seller and assumed certain operating leases in conjunction with the transaction. No significant liabilities were assumed in connection with the transaction and the costs incurred to effectuate the acquisition were  expensed as incurred. The transaction was funded through the Company’s existing credit facility and the issuance of a note payable to the seller. The acquisition expands the Company’s strategic footprint in the Southeastern portion of the United States and enhances our ability to service customers in that region.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for the acquired assets and their related acquisition date fair values. The fair value of the assets acquired have been measured in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” In valuing identifiable intangible assets, the Company has estimated the fair value using the discounted cash flows methodology. The purchase price allocation reflects various preliminary estimates and analyses and is subject to change during the measurement period (generally one year from the acquisition date). The acquired assets are reported as a component of our Wholesale Segment.
