ACQUISITIONS

ATMI

On April 30, 2014, the Company acquired ATMI, Inc. (the Merger), a Delaware corporation (ATMI), for approximately $1.1 billion in cash pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), dated as of February 4, 2014. As a result of the Merger, ATMI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and the results of operations of ATMI are included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as of and since April 30, 2014.

ATMI is a leading supplier of high-performance materials, materials packaging and materials delivery systems used worldwide in the manufacture of microelectronic devices. The acquisition was executed to expand the Company’s product offering base and technological base, and enhance the leverage of its selling and administrative functions.

The purchase price of ATMI consisted of the following:



(In thousands):
Cash paid to ATMI shareholders	$	1,099,033
Cash paid in settlement of share-based compensation awards	31,451
Total purchase price	1,130,484
Less cash and cash equivalents acquired	321,094
Total purchase price, net of cash acquired	$	809,390

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the ATMI acquisition:



(In thousands):
Accounts receivable and other current assets	$	107,962
Inventory	114,527
Property, plant and equipment	122,702
Identifiable intangible assets	297,040
Other noncurrent assets	9,717
Current liabilities	(60,416		)
Deferred tax liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities	(121,451		)
Net assets acquired	470,081
Goodwill	339,309
Total purchase price, net of cash acquired	$	809,390

The fair value of acquired property, plant and equipment of $122.7 million is valued at its value-in-use, unless there was a known plan to dispose of an asset, and is provisional pending the Company's completion of its valuation of certain assets, and its final review of all acquired property, plant and equipment.

The fair value of acquired identifiable intangible assets was determined using the “income approach” on an individual project basis. In performing these valuations, the key underlying probability-adjusted assumptions of the discounted cash flows were projected revenues, gross margin expectations and operating cost estimates. The valuations were based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date and the expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by the Company’s management. There are inherent uncertainties and management judgment required in these determinations. The fair value measurements of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on valuations involving significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

The purchase price of ATMI exceeded the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by $339.3 million. Cash flows used to determine the purchase price included strategic and synergistic benefits (investment value) specific to the Company, which resulted in a purchase price in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets. The purchase price also included the fair values of other assets that were not identifiable, not separately recognizable under accounting rules (e.g., assembled workforce) or of immaterial value in addition to a going-concern element that represents the Company's ability to earn a higher rate of return on the group of assets than would be expected on the separate assets as determined during the valuation process. This additional investment value resulted in goodwill. No amount of goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is expected to be completed as soon as possible, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. Given the size and complexity of the acquisition, the valuation of certain assets and liabilities is still being completed, or is subject to final review. In addition to property, plant and equipment, as noted above, the Company's valuation of ATMI's tax accounts is provisional pending the completion of and the Company's final review of ATMI's tax accounts . To the extent that the Company's estimates require adjustment, the Company will modify the value.
