Acquisitions

Lucasfilm

On December 21, 2012, the Company acquired Lucasfilm Ltd. LLC (Lucasfilm), a privately held entertainment company. This acquisition will allow Disney to utilize Lucasfilm's content across our multiple platforms, businesses and markets, which we believe will generate growth as well as significant long-term value.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Disney issued 37.1 million shares and made a cash payment of $2.2 billion. Based on the $50.00 per share closing price of Disney shares on December 21, 2012, the transaction had a value of $4.1 billion.

The following table summarizes our allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values and the related deferred taxes was allocated to goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes.



(in billions)	Estimated Fair Value
Intangible assets	$	2.6
Goodwill	2.3
Deferred income taxes	(0.8		)
	$	4.1

Intangible assets primarily consist of intellectual property based on the Star Wars franchise with an estimated useful life of approximately 40 years. The goodwill reflects the value to Disney from leveraging Lucasfilm intellectual property across our distribution channels, taking advantage of Disney's established global reach.

The revenue and net income of Lucasfilm included in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the quarter ended December 28, 2013 was not material.

Hulu

On October 5, 2012, Hulu LLC (Hulu) redeemed Providence Equity Partners' 10% equity interest in Hulu for $200 million, increasing the Company's ownership interest in Hulu from 29% to 32%. In connection with the transaction, Hulu incurred a charge of approximately $174 million primarily related to employee equity-based compensation and borrowed $338 million under a five-year term loan, which was guaranteed by the Company and the other partners. The Company's share of the charge totaled $55 million and was recorded in equity in the income of investees in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

In July 2013, Fox Entertainment Group, NBCUniversal and the Company agreed to provide Hulu with $750 million in cash to fund Hulu's operations and investments for future growth, of which the Company's share is $257 million. To date, the Company has contributed $134 million, increasing its ownership to 33%, and will continue to guarantee its share of Hulu's $338 million term loan.

The Company accounts for its interest in Hulu as an equity method investment.

There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the quarter ended December 28, 2013. The carrying amount of goodwill at December 28, 2013 and September 28, 2013 includes accumulated impairments of $29 million at Interactive.
