As of March 28, 2015, goodwill amounted to approximately $347.6 million, an increase of $6.9 million from the balance at December 31, 2014. The increase in goodwill relates to purchase accounting adjustments related to the acquisition of ATMI completed in April 2014 as described in note 2 and is provisional subject to the Company's final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The increase was partially offset by the foreign currency translation adjustments.
