Spire Semiconductor

On March 9, 2012, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Spire Semiconductor, LLC (Spire) a maker of advanced light emitting diode and other advanced component-level technologies. Masimo Semiconductor, Inc. (Masimo Semiconductor), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Masimo Corporation, operates the business. The acquisition provided the Company with an advanced ability to develop custom components, accelerate development cycles, and optimize future product costs. Masimo Semiconductor, based in New Hampshire, specializes in wafer epitaxy, foundry services, and device fabrication for biomedical, telecommunications, consumer products and other markets.

Under the acquisition agreement, the Company paid $7.2 million and assumed $1.2 million of Spire’s liabilities. Simultaneous with this asset acquisition, the Company entered into a lease agreement with a related party to Spire Corporation, to lease manufacturing and office space in New Hampshire through March 2017. All the assets and liabilities acquired from Spire as of March 9, 2012, and Masimo Semiconductor’s operating results from March 10, 2012 through December 28, 2013 are included in these consolidated financial statements.

Phasein

On July 27, 2012, the Company acquired PHASEIN AB (Phasein), a developer and manufacturer of ultra-compact mainstream and sidestream capnography and gas monitoring technologies. The acquisition of Phasein’s technologies complements the Company’s breakthrough innovations for patient monitoring with a portfolio of products ranging from OEM solutions for external “plug-in-and-measure” capnography and gas analyzers and integrated modules to handheld capnometer devices. With multiple measurements delivered through either mainstream or sidestream options, the Company’s customers can benefit from CO₂, N₂O, O₂, and anesthetic agent monitoring in many hospital environments, such as operating rooms, procedural sedation and intensive care units.
