Acquisitions	Note 3 Acquisitions On September 5, 2017 we paid an initial amount of approximately $50.9 million in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments, to acquire Stavanger, Norway based Robotic Drilling Systems AS ("RDS"), a provider of automated tubular and tool handling equipment for the onshore and offshore drilling markets. This transaction will allow us to integrate RDS’s highly capable team and product offering with the technology portfolio of Canrig Drilling Technology (“Canrig”), Nabors rig equipment division, and strengthens the development of Canrig’s drilling automation solutions. As part of our purchase price allocation, we have initially recorded intangible assets of $53.3 million (developed technology and in process research and development), goodwill of approximately $5.7 million and other liabilities of $7.3 million (net of other working capital items). The proforma effect on revenue and net income (loss) have been determined to be immaterial to our financial statements. On August 13, 2017, Nabors signed an Arrangement Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Tesco Corporation ("Tesco"), with each outstanding common share of Tesco being exchanged for 0.68 common shares of Nabors. This transaction (the “Arrangement”) will create a leading rig equipment and drilling automation provider by combining Canrig, with Tesco's rig equipment manufacturing, rental and aftermarket service business. Additionally, Tesco operates a tubular services business in numerous key regions globally, which will immediately benefit Nabors Drilling Solutions' (“NDS”) operation. Nabors estimates that it will issue approximately 32 million of its common shares in connection with this transaction. The consummation of the Arrangement is subject to approval by Tesco security holders, receipt of required regulatory approvals, approval by the Court of Queens Bench of Alberta, and satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions. It is currently anticipated that the closing of the Arrangement will occur in the fourth quarter of 2017.
