(“Hitachi”). HGST is a developer and manufacturer of storage devices. As a result of the Acquisition, HGST became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The aggregate purchase price of the Acquisition was approximately $4.7 billion and was funded with $3.7 billion of existing cash and cash from new debt, as well as 25 million newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $877 million. The fair value of the newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock was determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s shares of common stock on the date of the Acquisition, less a 10% discount for lack of marketability as the shares issued were subject to a restriction that limited their trade or transfer for one year from the Closing Date. The purchase price consideration originally included preliminary estimates of the working capital assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Based on a final post-closing adjustment, the cash portion of the purchase price decreased by a net $27 million as a result of $37 million received by the Company during 2013 for a post-closing adjustment related to changes in the working capital of HGST, partially offset by $10 million paid by the Company during 2013 for a post-closing assumed pension adjustment. The aggregate purchase price for HGST was comprised of (in millions):   <table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="68%" align="center">  <tr> <td width="89%"></td> <td valign="bottom" width="6%"></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Mar. 8, 2012</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr>  <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> Acquisition of all issued and outstanding paid-up share capital of HGST </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">4,585</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Fair value of stock options, restricted stock-based awards and SARs assumed </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">102</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> </tr> <tr style="FONT-SIZE: 1px"> <td valign="bottom"></td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> Total </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">4,687</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> </tr> <tr style="FONT-SIZE: 1px"> <td valign="bottom"></td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> The Company identified and recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values at the Closing Date, and allocated the remaining value of approximately $1.8 billion to goodwill.

The net impact of these two transactions was immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2013, the Company received a $45 million insurance recovery related to facilities acquired in connection with the acquisition of TSDT. Maintenance of Competitive Requirement In connection with the regulatory approval process of the Acquisition, the Company agreed to certain conditions required by the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China (“MOFCOM”), including adopting measures to maintain HGST as an independent competitor until MOFCOM agrees otherwise (with the minimum period being two years from the Closing Date). The Company worked closely with MOFCOM to finalize an operations plan that outlines in more detail the conditions of the competitive requirement. </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for a business combination (or series of individually immaterial business combinations) completed during the period, including background, timing, and recognized assets and liabilities.
