Acquisitions and Intangible Assets [Abstract]

Note 7 — Acquisitions and Intangible Assets

During the first quarter of 2011, we acquired the assets and liabilities of Aretê Sistemas S.A. (“Aretê”) in Spain, which further strengthened our capabilities in value-added distribution in our European region. Our agreement with Aretê called for an initial cash payment of $1,066, a hold-back amount of $1,040, which was released during the second quarter of 2011 upon settlement of certain closing matters, and a maximum potential earn-out of $5,000 to be paid out over four years through December 31, 2014 based upon the achievement of certain pre-defined targets. We recorded the earn-out amount of $2,062 through the purchase accounting for Aretê, which reflects the estimated fair value of the payout to be achieved. The aggregate purchase price of $4,168 has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the transaction dates, including identifiable intangible assets of $4,142, primarily related to vendor and customer relationships with estimated useful lives of 10 years. This acquisition was not material to us as a whole and therefore, pro-forma financial information has not been presented.

During the first quarter of 2012, we paid one of the annual earn-out payments related to a prior period acquisition totaling $333, which was previously accrued at the time of the acquisition.

The gross carrying amounts of finite-lived identifiable intangible assets of $184,490 and $183,557 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, are amortized over their remaining estimated lives ranging up to 16 years. The net carrying amount was $71,107 and $73,330 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
