On June 8, 2021, the Company’s Steel Processing reportable operating segment, along with the Company’s 55% consolidated joint venture TWB Company, L.L.C. (“TWB”), acquired certain assets of the Shiloh Industries U.S. BlankLight® business (“Shiloh”), a provider of laser welded solutions. The purchase price for the acquisition was cash consideration of approximately $104,750,000, subject to closing adjustments. The Shiloh business is being operated as part of the Steel Processing segment and its operating results have been included in the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings since the date of acquisition. Proforma results, including the acquired business since the beginning of fiscal 2021, would not be materially different than the reported results.

The acquisition consisted of three laser welding facilities that are being operated as part of our TWB joint venture and one blanking facility that is operated as part of our core steel processing operations. Approximately $22,000,000 of the total goodwill relates to TWB, which will be treated as a separate reporting unit for purposes of goodwill impairment testing going forward.

The information included herein has been based on the preliminary allocation of the purchase price using estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired. The purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustment until all pertinent information regarding the assets acquired is fully evaluated by the Company, including but not limited to, the fair value accounting.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their estimated acquisition-date fair values, with goodwill representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. In connection with the acquisition of Shiloh, the Company identified and valued the following intangible assets:

(in thousands)
Category	Amount		Useful Life (Years)
Customer relationships	$	32,800	15-20
Non-compete agreement		280		3
In-process research & development		1,200	Indefinite
Total acquired identifiable intangible assets	$	34,280

The purchase price includes the fair values of other assets that were not identifiable, not separately recognizable under accounting rules (e.g., assembled workforce) or of immaterial value. The purchase price also includes strategic and synergistic benefits (investment value) specific to us, which resulted in a purchase price in excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets. This additional investment value resulted in goodwill which will be deductible by the Company for income tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the consideration transferred and the estimated fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. These amounts reflect various preliminary fair value estimates and assumptions, including preliminary work performed by a third-party valuation specialist, and are subject to change within the measurement period as the valuation if finalized. The primary areas of preliminary purchase price allocation subject to change relate to the valuation of acquired tangible assets and liabilities, identification and valuation of residual goodwill and tax effects of acquired assets and assumed liabilities.
