Acquisition of Innovative Mattress Solutions, LLC ("iMS")

On January 11, 2019, iMS filed for bankruptcy and the Company provided debtor-in-possession financing in connection with the iMS Chapter 11 proceedings. On April 1, 2019, the Company acquired substantially all of the net assets of iMS in a transaction valued at approximately $24 million, including assumed liabilities of approximately $11 million as of March 31, 2019 (referred to as the "Sleep Outfitters Acquisition"). The acquisition of this regional bedding retailer furthers the Company’s North American retail strategy, which is focused on meeting customer demand through geographic representation and sales expertise.

The Company accounted for this transaction as a business combination. Total cash consideration was $13.2 million, less cash acquired of $5.1 million, resulting in a purchase price of $8.1 million. The final allocation of the purchase price is based on the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of April 1, 2019, which includes the following:



(in millions)
Working capital (accounts receivable and inventory, net of accounts payable and accrued liabilities)	$	(1.4	)
Property and equipment	5.0
Goodwill	2.4
Other intangible assets	2.1
Operating lease right-of-use assets	28.5
Long-term operating lease liabilities	(28.5		)
Net purchase price	$	8.1

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired and primarily represents the growth opportunities and synergistic benefits to be realized from the acquisition. The goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes and will be included within the North American reporting unit for goodwill impairment assessments.

As a result of the acquisition, the Company acquired trade names and customer database of $2.1 million.

Acquisition of Sherwood Bedding

On January 31, 2020, the Company acquired an 80% ownership interest in a newly formed limited liability company containing substantially all of the assets of the Sherwood Bedding business for a cash purchase price of approximately $40 million. The Company will account for this transaction as a business combination in 2020. The purchase price allocation will principally include working capital, property plant and equipment, and goodwill. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired will be recorded as goodwill, which will be deductible for income tax purposes.
