5. Acquisitions

On April 1, 2020, we consummated a merger through which TAS Energy Inc. (“TAS”) became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The total purchase price was $169.5 million of which $126.2 million was allocated to goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. The total purchase price included $105.9 million in cash, $40.5 million in working capital adjustment, $14.0 million in notes payable to former owners and a $9.1 million contingent earn-out obligation. TAS is headquartered in Houston, Texas and is a leading engineering, design and construction provider of modular construction systems serving the technology, power and industrial sectors, and reports as a separate operating location in our mechanical services segment.

We completed the acquisition of an electrical contractor in North Carolina in the first quarter of 2020 with a total purchase price of $41.6 million. This acquisition is reported in our electrical services segment. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we acquired all outstanding equity interest of Tennessee Electric Company, Inc. dba TEC Industrial Maintenance and Construction (“T E C”) for a total preliminary purchase price of $88.9 million which included $73.0 million in cash, $7.0 million in notes payable to former owners, a $7.6 million contingent earn-out obligation and a $1.3 million working capital adjustment. As a result of the acquisition, T E C is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company reported in our electrical services segment. In the first quarter of 2021, we completed an acquisition of a mechanical contractor in Utah with a total preliminary purchase price of $19.6 million, which is reported in our mechanical services

segment. In June 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Amteck, LLC family of companies (“Amteck”) headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021, and Amteck will be reported in our electrical services segment.

The results of operations of acquisitions are included in our consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates. Our consolidated Balance Sheet includes preliminary allocations of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the applicable acquisitions pending the completion of the final valuation of intangible assets and accrued liabilities. The acquisitions completed in the current and prior year were not material, individually or in the aggregate. Additional contingent purchase price (“earn-out”) has been or will be paid if certain acquisitions achieve predetermined profitability targets. Such earn-outs, when they are not subject to the continued employment of the sellers, are estimated as of the purchase date and included as part of the consideration paid for the acquisition. If we have an earn-out under which continued employment is a condition to receipt of payment, then the earn-out is recorded as compensation expense over the period earned.
